What is an Angular Data Grid?
An Angular data grid is a component used to display tabular data in a series of rows and columns. Data grids, also known as tables, are well known in the desktop world with popular software such as Microsoft Excel. While grids have been available on desktop platforms for a long time, they have recently become part of web app UIs, such as Angular UI. Modern grids can be complex and may include a range of functionalities, including data binding, editing, Excel-like filtering, custom sorting, grouping, row reordering, row and column freezing, row aggregation, and exporting to Excel, CSV, and pdf formats.
Why Use an Angular Data Grid?
Angular data grids are essential in use cases where lots of data must be stored and sorted through quickly. This can include industries such as financial or insurance that use high-volume, high-velocity data frequently. Often the success of these companies is dependent on the functionality and performance of these data grids. When stock decisions need to be made in microseconds, for example, it’s imperative that the data grid performs with no lag time or flicker.
Key Features
The Ignite UI for Angular Data Grid is not just for high-volume and real-time data. It is a feature-rich Angular grid that gives you capabilities that you would never be able to accomplish with so little code on your own. This example demonstrates a few of the data grid’s key features:
Virtualized Rows and Columns so you can load millions of records
Inline Editing with Cell, Row, and Batch Update options
Excel-style Filtering and full Excel Keyboard Navigation capability
Interactive Outlook-style Grouping
Column Summaries based on any data in a grid cell or column
Export to Excel, including Data Visualization
Size to adjust the height and sizing of the rows
Column templates like Sparkline Column and Image Column
Data Virtualization and Performance
Seamlessly scroll through unlimited rows and columns in your Angular grid, with the data grid’s column and row level virtualization. With support for local or remote data sources, you get the best performance no matter where your data lives. Your users will experience Excel-like scrolling, with enterprise speed — no lag, screen flicker, or visual delay — giving you the best user experience (UX) without compromising performance.
Quick and Easy to Customize, Build and Implement
The Ignite UI Angular Data Grid can handle unlimited rows and columns of data, while providing access to custom templates and real-time data updates. Featuring an intuitive API for easy theming and branding, you can quickly bind to data with minimal code.
Angular Grid Paging, Sorting, Filtering, & Searching
Allow users to navigate your data set with our default pager or create your own template to give your own paging experience. With complete support for single and multi-column sorting, full-text search on the grid, and several advanced filtering options, including data-type based Microsoft Excel-style Filtering.
Inline Angular Grid Editing
We provide you default cell templates for editable columns which are based on the data type of the column. You can define your own custom templates for editable columns and override default behavior for committing and discarding changes in the cell value.
Keyboard Navigation & Row/Cell Selection in the Angular Grid
Ensure accessibility compliance and improve usability, enabling Excel-like keyboard navigation in the Angular data grid, using the up, down, right, left, tab, and Enter keys. You can toggle single or multiple row selection in the Angular grid using the mouse or keyboard to select or de-select full rows, or use the built-in select all / de-select all checkbox in the grid toolbar to work with row selection.
