In Angular, Tables have been used to display structured data in a tabular format, such as lists of items, data grids, or reports.
We can use Angular's data binding capabilities to dynamically populate tables with data from our components.
HTML Table Element: Angular uses the standard HTML
element along with its associated element (``, ``, ` | `) to create tables. Tables can be populated with data dynamically using Angular data binding techniques such as interpolation, property binding, or structural directives like `*ngFor`. |

Using a Component-based architecture Approach, where each table can be encapsulated within its component. Components technique enables reusability, maintainability, and encapsulation of table-related logic and functionality.
Angular allows us to apply custom styles and themes to tables using CSS frameworks (e.g., Bootstrap), or Angular Material. Styling options include customizing table headers, rows, cells, borders, backgrounds, and hover effects.
Using Built-in directives or custom logic Angular allows us to sort and filter in tables.
Angular supports pagination features for large collection of datasets, enabling users to navigate through multiple pages of data efficiently.
Angular facilitates responsive table design by leveraging CSS frameworks, media queries, and Angular Flex-Layout for dynamic layout adjustments based on screen size.
In our component Typescript file, define our data and possibly any logic to manipulate it:
import { Component } from '@angular/core'; @Component({ selector: 'app-root', templateUrl: './app.component.html', styleUrls: ['./app.component.css'] }) export class AppComponent { // Mock data tableData = [ { id: 1, name: 'Alice', age: 22 }, { id: 2, name: 'William', age: 20 }, { id: 3, name: 'Edward', age: 140 } ]; }
<table> <thead> <tr> <th>ID</th> <th>Name</th> <th>Age</th> </tr> </thead> <tbody> <tr *ngFor="let item of tableData"> <td>{{ item.id }}</td> <td>{{ item.name }}</td> <td>{{ item.age }}</td> </tr> </tbody> </table>
In your component's HTML file, create the table structure and use Angular's "*ngFor" directive to iterate over the data and populate the table dynamically:
"*ngFor" iterates over the "tableData" array, creating a row for each item in the array.
Inside the loop, we access each property of the current item using "item.id", "item.name", and "item.age".
Tables in Angular provide a versatile and powerful way to display structured data in web applications.
