AngularJS and wijgrid

In this Angular getting started guide, you'll learn how to use the Grid widget in an HTML project using HTML markup, jQuery script, and AngularJS directives.

For a more complex sample that has the controller and model in separate files, see Wijmo Grid in the AngularJS Directive Gallery on our web site.

To create a new HTML page in your favorite text editor, add the following code and save the document with an .html extension. Notice that the <HTML> and <body> tags are different from our usual tags.
- The <HTML> tag is marked as an Angular app with the ng-app directive, in our script, we will specify that it uses Wijmo.
- The <body> tag is used to define the scope of the Angular controller that we create. You can use another tag such as a <div> for the scope, but for our purposes, we will use the entire body. The ng-controller directive specifies the controller to use within this scope.
Drop down and copy markup
Paste in your favorite text editor.
Copy Code

<!DOCTYPE HTML> <HTML ng-app="MyApp"> <head> </head> <body ng-controller="MyController"> </body> </HTML>

Paste in your favorite text editor.	Copy Code
<!DOCTYPE HTML> <HTML ng-app="MyApp"> <head> </head> <body ng-controller="MyController"> </body> </HTML>

Add links to the dependencies to your HTML page within the <head> tags. Find the latest dependencies in the content delivery network (CDN) file at wijmo cdn. Along with our usual references, we add two script references for Angular that must come after the jQuery references, so they are the last two lines:

One is for AngularJS itself.
The other is for Wijmo's Angular javascript integration library.

Within the <head> tags, below the references, add the following script to set the app to use Wijmo, and to create a model and controller. Use a model to specify data fields that you can link to data that you supply in the controller, or for more basic usage, you can omit the model and supply a single value for each field in the controller. The $scope parameter on the controller controls data context for the model, and you can add an optional $locale parameter.

<script type="text/javascript"> var app = angular.module("MyApp", ["wijmo"]); //Person class function Person(data) { this.ID = data.ID; this.Company = data.Company; this.Name = data.Name; this.Sales = data.Sales; }; function MyController($scope, $locale) { $scope.list = [ new Person({ ID: "ANATR", Company: "Ana Trujillo Emparedados y helados", Name: "Ana Trujillo", Sales: 8900 }), new Person({ ID: "ANTON", Company: "Antonio Moreno Taqueria", Name: "Antonio Moreno", Sales: 4500 }), new Person({ ID: "AROUT", Company: "Around the Horn", Name: "Thomas Hardy", Sales: 7600 }), new Person({ ID: "BERGS", Company: "Berglunds snabbkop", Name: "Christina Berglund", Sales: 3200 }) ]; } </script>

<script type="text/javascript">

    //Person class
    function Person(data) {
        this.ID = data.ID;
        this.Company = data.Company;
        this.Name = data.Name;
        this.Sales = data.Sales;
    };

    function MyController($scope, $locale) {
        $scope.list = [
              new Person({ ID: "ANATR", Company: "Ana Trujillo Emparedados y helados", Name: "Ana Trujillo", Sales: 8900 }),
              new Person({ ID: "ANTON", Company: "Antonio Moreno Taqueria", Name: "Antonio Moreno", Sales: 4500 }),
              new Person({ ID: "AROUT", Company: "Around the Horn", Name: "Thomas Hardy", Sales: 7600 }),
              new Person({ ID: "BERGS", Company: "Berglunds snabbkop", Name: "Christina Berglund", Sales: 3200 })
        ];
    }
</script>

Add the following markup within the <body> tags to create the widget. With AngularJS, we use a <wij-* element to create the widget, and we use attributes or nested elements right in the markup to set its options and event handlers. We bind options to our model by enclosing the values in a double set of curly braces, like this: {{val}}. Since each widget is defined using an AngularJS directive that starts with the wij- prefix, there is no need to initialize it in jQuery.

<wij-grid id="dataGrid" data="list" allow-editing="true" style="width: 600px;"> <columns> <column></column> <column></column> <column></column> <column data-type="number"></column> </columns> </wij-grid>

<wij-grid id="dataGrid" data="list" allow-editing="true" style="width: 600px;">
     <columns>
        <column></column>
        <column></column>
        <column></column>
        <column data-type="number"></column>
    </columns>
</wij-grid>

Save your HTML file and open it in a browser. The widget appears like the following live widget.

MISSING WIDGET TYPE: The "Live Widget" Widget Type could not be found. The "Live Widget" Widget Type may have been deleted since this Widget was created.
