Importing the Module

After installation, import Flexi Grid into your Angular module:

import { FlexiGridModule } from 'flexi-grid';

@Component({
    imports: [
    FlexiGridModule
],
    templateUrl: './home.component.html',
    encapsulation: ViewEncapsulation.None,
    changeDetection: ChangeDetectionStrategy.OnPush
})
export class UsersComponent {}

Basic Usage

To use Flexi Grid, add the <flexi-grid> component to your template and bind it to your data.

<flexi-grid [data]="data">
  <flexi-grid-column field="id" title="ID" width="70px" />
  <flexi-grid-column field="name" title="Name" />
  <flexi-grid-column field="email" title="Email" />
  <flexi-grid-column field="salary" title="Salary" filterType="number" format="c" textAlign="right" symbol="$" />
  <flexi-grid-column field="startDate" title="Start Date" filterType="date" format="dd MMM yyyy" />
</flexi-grid>

Component Data Example

In your component file (.ts), define the data array:

export class ExampleComponent {
  data = [
    { id: 1, name: 'John Doe', email: 'john@example.com', salary: 5000, startDate: "2024-01-02" },
    { id: 2, name: 'Jane Smith', email: 'jane@example.com', salary: 6000, startDate: "2024-01-05" },
    { id: 3, name: 'Alice Brown', email: 'alice@example.com', salary: 7000, startDate: "2024-02-03" }
  ];
}

This will render a data grid with columns for ID, Name, Email, and Salary, along with filtering and sorting functionalities.
