After many hours of experimenting with using jQueryDataTables with Angular, I found what I needed was available with a native Angular directive called ng-table. It provides sorting, pagination, and ajax reloads (sort of lazy loading capable with a few tweaks).
Adding a new answer just as a reference for future researchers and as nobody mentioned that yet I think it's valid.
Another good option is ng-grid http://angular-ui.github.io/ng-grid/.
And there's a beta version (http://ui-grid.info/) available already with some improvements:
- Native AngularJS implementation, no jQuery
- Performs well with large data sets; even 10,000+ rows
- Plugin architecture allows you to use only the features you need
UPDATE:
It seems UI GRID is not beta anymore.
With the 3.0 release, the repository has been renamed from "ng-grid" to "ui-grid".
For AngularJs you have to use "angular-datatables.min.js" file for datatable settings. You will get this from http://l-lin.github.io/angular-datatables/#/welcome.
After that you can write code like below,
<script>
var app = angular.module('AngularWayApp', ['datatables']);
</script>
<div ng-app="AngularWayApp" ng-controller="AngularWayCtrl">
<table id="example" datatable="ng" class="table">
<thead>
<tr>
<th><b>UserID</b></th>
<th><b>Firstname</b></th>
<th><b>Lastname</b></th>
<th><b>Email</b></th>
<th><b>Actions</b></th>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody>
<tr ng-repeat="user in users" ng-click="testingClick(user)">
<td>{{user.UserId}}</td>
<td>{{user.FirstName}}</td>
<td>{{user.Lastname}}</td>
<td>{{user.Email}}</td>
<td>
<span ng-click="editUser(user)" style="color:blue;cursor: pointer; font-weight:500; font-size:15px" class="btnAdd" data-toggle="modal" data-target="#myModal">Edit</span> |
<span ng-click="deleteUser(user)" style="color:red; cursor: pointer; font-weight:500; font-size:15px" class="btnRed">Delete</span>
</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
</div>
I know it's tempting to use drag and drop angular modules created by other devs - but actually, unless you are doing something non-standard like dynamically adding / removing rows from the ng-repeated data set by calling $http services chance are you really don't need a directive based solution, so if you do go this direction you probably just created extra watchers you don't actually need.
What this implementation provides:
- Pagination is always correct
- Filtering is always correct (even if you add custom filters but of course they just need to be in the same closure)
The implementation is easy. Just use angular's version of jQuery dom ready from your view's controller:
Inside your controller:
'use strict';
var yourApp = angular.module('yourApp.yourController.controller', []);
yourApp.controller('yourController', ['$scope', '$http', '$q', '$timeout', function ($scope, $http, $q, $timeout) {
$scope.users = [
{
email: '[email protected]',
name: {
first: 'User',
last: 'Last Name'
},
phone: '(416) 555-5555',
permissions: 'Admin'
},
{
email: '[email protected]',
name: {
first: 'First',
last: 'Last'
},
phone: '(514) 222-1111',
permissions: 'User'
}
];
angular.element(document).ready( function () {
dTable = $('#user_table')
dTable.DataTable();
});
}]);
Now in your html view can do:
<div class="table table-data clear-both" data-ng-show="viewState === possibleStates[0]">
<table id="user_table" class="users list dtable">
<thead>
<tr>
<th>E-mail</th>
<th>First Name</th>
<th>Last Name</th>
<th>Phone</th>
<th>Permissions</th>
<th class="blank-cell"></th>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody>
<tr data-ng-repeat="user in users track by $index">
<td>{{ user.email }}</td>
<td>{{ user.name.first }}</td>
<td>{{ user.name.last }}</td>
<td>{{ user.phone }}</td>
<td>{{ user.permissions }}</td>
<td class="users controls blank-cell">
<a class="btn pointer" data-ng-click="showEditUser( $index )">Edit</a>
</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
</div>
