Always the Controllers belong to a module. An AngularJS module defines an application. It needs a container for the different parts of an application. The Angular CLI is a tool for the command line interface. It helps develop and maintain Angular applications from the direct command. The ng-app defines the root element of the AngularJS applications. It will then start the applications. The application runs within the div tag. 


Using the ng-table module, we can do more functionalities. The functions include showing tables, filtering, sorting, and paging without writing codes. The ng abbreviation is Angular. The ng-controller defines the controller of the JavaScript functions. The ng-model links will link the value HTML control element application data. The ng-repeat directive repeats the set of HTML elements several times. Each repetition has its scope. The ng-click attribute helps find the click event and mouse tracking. We use the HTML DOM to respond to user click actions very quickly. The model handles data maintenance. The view handles displaying the user data. The controller can handle control between the model and the view. 


In Angular.js, it's better to use the ng-table module to bind data to tables. We can implement functionalities like sorting, paging, and filtering without writing much code. We can specify a controller in the HTML element by using the ng-controller. This will add behavior or preserve the data in that HTML and its child elements. We can declare our data using the var variable. This class gives a full-width container spanning the entire width of the viewport. Using the table-condensed class, we will cut the row padding in half to condense the table. This is very useful if you want information about any denser. 


We will activate the event of ng-change when every change in the value. We can trigger the ng-change event when there is a basic change in the input value. In an AngularJS application, we can use ui bootstrap as a dependency. It displays the pagination. For developing dynamic web pages, many angular developers use the bootstrap technic. 


Here is an example of using AngularJS's ngTable module to create tables in the app:

Code

In this solution, we are using ng-table module.

ngTable shows the first column only

    angular.module("sample", ["ngTable"])
      .controller("myController", myController);

  var dataset = [
      {name: "Hello50", bunny:"Bunny1", age: 50},
      {name: "Hello49", bunny:"Bunny2", age: 49},
      {name: "Hello48", bunny:"Bunny3", age: 48},
      {name: "Hello47", bunny:"Bunny4", age: 47},
      {name: "Hello46", bunny:"Bunny5", age: 46},
    ];

    myController.$inject = ["NgTableParams"];

    function myController(NgTableParams) {

      this.tableParams = new NgTableParams({}, {
        dataset : dataset
      });
    }

<div ng-app="sample" class="container-fluid">
  <div class="row">
    <div class="col-md-3" ng-controller="myController as demo">
      <h3>ngTable</h3>
      <table ng-table="demo.tableParams" class="table table-condensed table-bordered table-striped">
        <tr ng-repeat="user in $data">
          <td data-title="'Name'" filter-data="demo.nameFilter">{{user.name}}
          </td>
          <td data-title="'Bunny'" filter-data="demo.descriptionFilter">{{user.bunny}}
          </td>
          <td data-title="'Age'" filter-data="demo.descriptionFilter">{{user.age}}
          </td>
        </tr>
      </table>
    </div>
  </div>
</div>

Instructions

Follow the steps carefully to get the output easily.

  1. Install Visual Studio Code on your computer.
  2. Open the terminal, and install Angular using this command-'npm install -g @angular/cli'.
  3. Create a new folder using the command-'ng new folder_name'.
  4. If you are getting an error for ng then, add set-ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned -Scope CurrentUser, Get-ExecutionPolicy, and Get-ExecutionPolicy -list in the terminal one by one.
  5. Now, Create a new folder using the command-'ng new folder_name'.
  6. Choose yes to all the questions and choose SCSS for the stylesheet format.
  7. cd foldername
  8. Click on the snippet topic we get JS and HTML files. Copy the HTML code using the Copy button above and paste it into your index.html file under src. Create an app.js file and paste the JS code into it.
  9. Save the file and open the terminal, Run the Code using this command-'ng serve' to generate the output in localhost.


I hope you found this helpful.


I found this code snippet by searching for ' ngTable shows the first column only' in kandi. You can try any such use case!


Environment Tested

I tested this solution in the following versions. Be mindful of changes when working with other versions.

  1. The solution is created and tested in Visual Studio Code 1.74.1.
  2. The solution is tested in Angular CLI - 15.2.2.
  3. angular animations version - 15.2.0.
  4. ng-table version - 3.0.1.


Using this solution, we are able to use AngularJS's ngTable module to create tables in the app with simple steps. This process also facilities an easy way to use, hassle-free method to create a hands-on working version of code which would help us to use AngularJS's ngTable module to create tables in the app.

                      FAQ: 

                      1. What are some important AngularJS Interview Questions related to pagination? 

                      Concept of Pagination: 

                      It divides a large data set into similar parts. 

                      How to create pagination: 

                      We must write HTML code in the index.html file, and Javascript code into the script.js file. 

                      Types of Pagination: 

                      1. offset 

                      2. cursor 

                      Limit of Pagination: 

                      We can limit the paginated query to 20,000. 

                      Benefits: 

                      The user can view all the content very quickly. The next page access is very easy. 


                      2. How does server-side pagination work in AngularJS? 

                      It triggers each page individually. We will load it upon navigation. For supporting pagination, we will need the server. The client-side will request the data with a specified page size. It helps control the subset of request data. We need to display only some content at a time. 


                      3. Are web pages loading faster with pagination in AngularJS? 

                      Yes, web pages are loading faster with pagination in AngularJS. It is more efficient for a large set of content. It uses enough memory because it stores specific pages. 


                      4. Is it necessary to include a div ng-controller when implementing pagination? 

                      Yes, it is necessary to include a div ng-controller when implementing pagination. The ng-controller adds control to the AngularJS applications. Here, we can write code, functions, and variables. This is all the part of an object inside the current HTML element. This object is the scope of the functions. 


                      5. How do you link up the last data page with a Next button on your HTML template? 

                      We can use the on-click event attribute of the button. We can also use history.back() method to navigate the user to the previous page. We must create a button link to the next page in HTML by adding a tag. Inside a tag, we link the href attribute to a given path of the wanted page. 


                      6. Can any HTML templates simplify the angularjs pagination implementation process? 

                      Yes, some HTML templates can simplify angularjs pagination. By using the ng-table module, we can implement pagination. To implement the table page, we must write lots of code. But using ng-table, we can perform pagination for table data with a few lines of code.
