Toolbar in Angular Grid component

Angular

Search results

The Grid provides ToolBar support to handle grid actions. The toolbar property accepts either the collection of built-in toolbar items and ItemModel objects for custom toolbar items or HTML element ID for toolbar template.

To use Toolbar, you need to inject ToolbarService in the provider section of AppModule.

Built-in Toolbar Items execute standard actions of the Grid and it can be added by defining toolbar as a collection of built-in items. It renders the button with icon and text.

The following table shows Built-in toolbar items and its action.

Built-in Toolbar Items	Actions
Add	Add a new record.
Edit	Edit the selected record.
Update	Update edited record.
Delete	Delete the selected record.
Cancel	Cancel the edit state.
Search	Search the records by given key.
Print	Print the Grid.
ColumnChooser	Choose the column’s visibility.
PdfExport	Exports grid to PDF document.
ExcelExport	Exports grid to Excel document.
CsvExport	Exports grid to CSV document.

The toolbar has options to define both built-in and custom toolbar items.

Custom toolbar items can be added by defining toolbar as a collection of ItemModel. Actions for this customized toolbar items are defined in the toolbarClick event.

By default, Custom toolbar items are in position Left. You can change the position by using the align property. In the below sample, we have applied position Right for the Collapse All toolbar item.

The toolbar has options to define both built-in and custom toolbar items.

If a toolbar item does not match with built-in items, it will be treated as custom toolbar item.

Grid have an option to use both built-in and custom toolbar items at same time.

In the below example, Add, Edit, Delete, Update, Cancel are built-in toolbar items and Click is custom toolbar item.
