Package Exports
- mat-table-filter
This package does not declare an exports field, so the exports above have been automatically detected and optimized by JSPM instead. If any package subpath is missing, it is recommended to post an issue to the original package (mat-table-filter) to support the "exports" field. If that is not possible, create a JSPM override to customize the exports field for this package.
Readme
Material Table Filter (matTableFilter Directive)
Provides filtering support for @angular/material tables. Table filtering is done by using the directive matTableFilter. This project is inspired by Hibernate's example api. By employing this directive you will end up with having
- Less code, less complicated logic for filtering
- Default debounce support
- Being able to filter nested objects no matter how deep the properties are
Installation
npm install --save mat-table-filter
After installing mat-table-filter import MatTableFilterModule in your ngModule
Usage
A datasource of a simple array won't work. In order to use matTableFilter, your table's datasource must be created as MatTableDataSource, see the example below.
dataSource = new MatTableDataSource(ELEMENT_DATA);
- Add matTableFilter directive as a property to your material table.
<table mat-table [dataSource]="dataSource" matTableFilter ...>
Keep an example object of the same type with your items in your table.
Bind the exampleObject to the exampleEntity property of the matTableFilter directive
<table mat-table [dataSource]="dataSource" matTableFilter [exampleEntity]="exampleObject"...>
That's all. When you populate the exampleObject's properties, the filter will automatically work just fine with the default debounce support. You can change the debounce time also.
