I'm trying to evaluate front end frameworks since it's becoming more and more popular lately (I'm more of a backend developer using primefaces). And so I'm looking at angular2 and react, but in this tutorial we will be trying to develop a data table from angular2.
What surprises me is, though there are a lot of ui frameworks, available production ready made components are lacking compared to primefaces.
Let the code talk for itself. Note though that I didn't use typescript yet since ngTable doesn't have a documentation yet on its website.
Also notice that the original web service that I use supported paging and sorting, that's why I have some extra parameters in the request: Page, RecsOnPage and SortBy. I did not bother to provider client side paging because it's already in the docs and is easy to understand.
Code is also available here for easier download: https://github.com/czetsuya/AngularNgTable
Maybe next article is about using typescript :-)
