Basic Usage

import { Component } from "@angular/core";
import { GridNexaAngularComponent, type Column } from "@gridnexa/angular";

interface Employee {
  id: number;
  name: string;
  department: string;
  city: string;
  score: number;
  adjustedScore: string;
}

@Component({
  selector: "app-root",
  standalone: true,
  imports: [GridNexaAngularComponent],
  template: `
    <grid-nexa
      [columns]="columns"
      [rows]="rows"
      [rowNumbers]="true"
      [checkboxSelection]="true"
      [enableFillHandle]="true"
      [enableUndoRedo]="true"
      [pageSize]="20"
      theme="light"
      density="standard"
      [fillWidth]="false"
      [getRowId]="getRowId"
      (rowSelectionChange)="onSelection($event)"
      (cellValueChange)="onCellValueChange($event)"
    />
  `,
})
export class AppComponent {
  columns: Column<Employee>[] = [
    { id: "name", field: "name", headerName: "Name", sortable: true, filter: "text", editable: true },
    { id: "department", field: "department", headerName: "Department", filter: "set" },
    { id: "score", field: "score", headerName: "Score", filter: "number", editable: true },
    { id: "adjustedScore", field: "adjustedScore", headerName: "Adjusted" },
  ];

  rows: Employee[] = [
    { id: 1, name: "John Carter", department: "Operations", city: "London", score: 92, adjustedScore: "=score * 1.05" },
    { id: 2, name: "Alice Moreau", department: "Product", city: "Paris", score: 87, adjustedScore: "=score * 1.05" },
  ];

  getRowId = (row: Employee) => row.id;

  onSelection(rows: Employee[]) {
    console.log(rows);
  }

  onCellValueChange(event: unknown) {
    console.log(event);
  }
}

Toolbar, Header Tools, Footer, And Icons

<grid-nexa
  [columns]="columns"
  [rows]="rows"
  [toolbar]="{
    quickFilter: true,
    find: true,
    filters: true,
    advancedFilter: true,
    columns: true,
    addRow: true,
    deleteRow: true,
    deleteSelectedRows: true
  }"
  [columnTools]="{
    sort: true,
    filter: true,
    filterPanel: true,
    menu: true,
    resize: true,
    pin: true,
    hide: true,
    autosize: true
  }"
  [footer]="{
    rowCount: true,
    selectedRows: true,
    selectedCell: true,
    selectedRange: true,
    filterCount: true,
    sortStatus: true,
    pagination: true
  }"
  [sidePanel]="{
    columns: true,
    pivot: true,
    filters: true,
    defaultActivePanel: 'columns'
  }"
/>

Use columnTools for global header-button defaults and column.tools for per-column overrides. Use [footer]="false" to hide the footer, or pass footer.renderer for a custom footer. Custom icons can be supplied through icons and per-column icons values where supported.

Use [sidePanel]="false" or [sidePanel]="{ enabled: false }" to hide right-side tools. Use columns, pivot, filters, and defaultActivePanel to control which side tabs appear and which one opens first.

Presets And Overlays

<grid-nexa
  [columns]="columns"
  [rows]="rows"
  preset="admin"
/>

<grid-nexa
  [columns]="columns"
  [rows]="rows"
  preset="spreadsheet"
  [stateStorage]="{
    key: 'employees-grid',
    type: 'localStorage'
  }"
/>

Presets reduce setup for common product surfaces:

• basic for clean read-only tables
• admin for CRUD-heavy internal tools
• spreadsheet for Excel-like editing and fill workflows
• analytics for reporting and pivoting

Explicit inputs still win over preset defaults. stateStorage persists grid state such as column widths, hidden columns, pinned columns, filters, sorting, and pagination.

<grid-nexa
  [columns]="columns"
  [rows]="[]"
  [loading]="isLoading"
  [error]="error"
  emptyState="No employees found"
/>

Built-in loading, error, and empty overlays appear inside the grid viewport without breaking header/body alignment.

Feature Parity Note

React is the reference package and currently has the fullest productivity layer: saved views UI, command palette, change review, validation UI, and diagnostics panel.

The Angular package supports the shared core grid surface used in the playground: presets, overlays, sorting, filtering, editing, formulas, selection, range fill, undo/redo, column tools, grouping, pivoting, tree data, master/detail, export, AI actions, and server-side operation events. The React-only productivity layer is planned for parity work before those docs are promoted for Angular.

Column And Range Summaries

Copy this:

<grid-nexa
  [columns]="columns"
  [rows]="rows"
  [enableRangeSelection]="true"
  [summaries]="{
    footer: true,
    selectedRange: true
  }"
/>

When to use: show count, sum, average, min, and max for visible numeric data or a selected range.

Common mistakes: keep enableRangeSelection on for range summaries, keep the footer visible, and remember that text values are ignored.

Column Width And Fill Behavior

<grid-nexa
  [columns]="[
    { id: 'name', field: 'name', headerName: 'Name', width: 180 },
    { id: 'department', field: 'department', headerName: 'Department', flex: 1, minWidth: 180 },
    { id: 'notes', field: 'notes', headerName: 'Notes', flex: 2, minWidth: 240 }
  ]"
  [rows]="rows"
  [fillWidth]="{ enabled: true, mode: 'flex' }"
/>

When fillWidth is disabled, the grid stops at the total real column width instead of showing a blank fake column. Enable it to stretch real columns with flex, or use mode: 'lastColumn' to let the final visible data column fill remaining space.

AI Command Support

<grid-nexa
  [columns]="columns"
  [rows]="rows"
  [ai]="{
    enabled: true,
    endpoint: '/api/gridnexa-ai',
    placeholder: 'Ask AI to filter, sort, group, pivot, pin, hide, or export'
  }"
/>

Keep provider keys on your backend. GridNexa accepts safe action plans from OpenAI, Azure OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, local models, or an internal gateway.

Styling And Classes

Use className, classNames, getRowClassName, getCellClassName, getHeaderClassName, and column-level className, cellClassName, and headerClassName to connect Bootstrap, utility classes, CSS Modules, SCSS, Less, or plain CSS.

GridNexa injects baseline runtime styles automatically. For the closest match to the playground and to keep bundlers aware of the stylesheet, import the package CSS once in your app entry:

import "@gridnexa/angular/index.css";

Pass unstyled when your design system owns every grid rule.
