Getting started with Angular Pivotview component

10 Aug 202424 minutes to read

This section explains you the steps required to create a simple pivot table and demonstrate the basic usage of the pivot table component in an Angular environment.

To get start quickly with Angular Pivot Table, you can check on this video:

Setup Angular Environment

You can use Angular CLI to setup your Angular applications.
To install Angular CLI use the following command.

npm install -g @angular/cli

Create an Angular Application

Start a new Angular application using below Angular CLI command.

ng new my-app

This command will prompt you for a few settings for the new project, such as whether to add Angular routing and which stylesheet format to use.

Initial_setup

By default, it will create a CSS-based application.

Next, navigate to the created project folder:

cd my-app

Dependencies

The following list of dependencies are required to use the pivot table component in your application.

Installing Syncfusion PivotView package

Syncfusion packages are distributed in npm as @syncfusion scoped packages. You can get all the Angular Syncfusion package from npm link.

Currently, Syncfusion provides two types of package structures for Angular components,

Ivy library distribution package format
Angular compatibility compiler(Angular’s legacy compilation and rendering pipeline) package.

Ivy library distribution package

Syncfusion Angular packages(>=20.2.36) has been moved to the Ivy distribution to support the Angular Ivy rendering engine and the package are compatible with Angular version 12 and above. To download the package use the below command.

Add @syncfusion/ej2-angular-pivotview package to the application.

npm install @syncfusion/ej2-angular-pivotview --save

Angular compatibility compiled package(ngcc)

For Angular version below 12, you can use the legacy (ngcc) package of the Syncfusion Angular components. To download the ngcc package use the below.

Add @syncfusion/ej2-angular-pivotview@ngcc package to the application.

npm install @syncfusion/ej2-angular-pivotview@ngcc --save

To mention the ngcc package in the package.json file, add the suffix -ngcc with the package version as below.

@syncfusion/ej2-angular-pivotview:"20.2.38-ngcc"

Note: If the ngcc tag is not specified while installing the package, the Ivy Library Package will be installed and this package will throw a warning.

Adding CSS reference

The following CSS files are available in ../node_modules/@syncfusion package folder. This can be referenced in [src/styles.css] using following code.

@import '../node_modules/@syncfusion/ej2-base/styles/material.css';
@import '../node_modules/@syncfusion/ej2-buttons/styles/material.css';
@import '../node_modules/@syncfusion/ej2-dropdowns/styles/material.css';
@import '../node_modules/@syncfusion/ej2-grids/styles/material.css';
@import '../node_modules/@syncfusion/ej2-inputs/styles/material.css';
@import '../node_modules/@syncfusion/ej2-lists/styles/material.css';
@import '../node_modules/@syncfusion/ej2-navigations/styles/material.css';
@import '../node_modules/@syncfusion/ej2-popups/styles/material.css';
@import "../node_modules/@syncfusion/ej2-splitbuttons/styles/material.css";
@import '../node_modules/@syncfusion/ej2-angular-pivotview/styles/material.css';

Browser compatibility

Polyfills are required to use the Pivot Table in Internet Explorer 11 browser. Refer the documentation for more details.

Initializing pivot table component in an application

Add the template in [src/app/app.component.ts] file to render the pivot table component.
Add the Angular pivot table by using <ejs-pivotview> selector in template section of the app.component.ts file.

import { PivotViewAllModule, PivotFieldListAllModule } from '@syncfusion/ej2-angular-pivotview'
import { Component, OnInit } from '@angular/core';
import { IDataOptions, IDataSet } from '@syncfusion/ej2-angular-pivotview';

@Component({
imports: [        
        PivotViewAllModule,
        PivotFieldListAllModule
    ],
  standalone: true,
  selector: 'app-root',
  // specifies the template string for the pivot table component
  template: `<ejs-pivotview #pivotview id='PivotView' height='350'></ejs-pivotview>`
})
export class AppComponent implements OnInit {
    public pivotData!: IDataSet[];
    public dataSourceSettings!: IDataOptions;

    ngOnInit(): void {
    }
}

Assigning sample data to the pivot table

The Pivot Table component further needs to be populated with an appropriate data source. For illustration purpose, a collection of objects mentioning the sales details of certain products over a period and region has been prepared. This sample data is assigned to the pivot table component through dataSource property under dataSourceSettings.

import { PivotViewAllModule, PivotFieldListAllModule } from '@syncfusion/ej2-angular-pivotview'
import { Component, OnInit } from '@angular/core';
import { IDataOptions, IDataSet } from '@syncfusion/ej2-angular-pivotview';

@Component({
imports: [        
        PivotViewAllModule,
        PivotFieldListAllModule
    ],
  standalone: true,
  selector: 'app-root',
  // specifies the template string for the pivot table component
  template: `<ejs-pivotview #pivotview id='PivotView' height='350' [dataSourceSettings]=dataSourceSettings></ejs-pivotview>`
})
export class AppComponent implements OnInit {
    public pivotData!: IDataSet[];
    public dataSourceSettings!: IDataOptions;

    ngOnInit(): void {

        this.pivotData = [
                { 'Sold': 31, 'Amount': 52824, 'Country': 'France', 'Products': 'Mountain Bikes', 'Year': 'FY 2015', 'Quarter': 'Q1' },
                { 'Sold': 51, 'Amount': 86904, 'Country': 'France', 'Products': 'Mountain Bikes', 'Year': 'FY 2015', 'Quarter': 'Q2' },
                { 'Sold': 90, 'Amount': 153360, 'Country': 'France', 'Products': 'Mountain Bikes', 'Year': 'FY 2015', 'Quarter': 'Q3' },
                { 'Sold': 25, 'Amount': 42600, 'Country': 'France', 'Products': 'Mountain Bikes', 'Year': 'FY 2015', 'Quarter': 'Q4' },
                { 'Sold': 27, 'Amount': 46008, 'Country': 'France', 'Products': 'Mountain Bikes', 'Year': 'FY 2016', 'Quarter': 'Q1' }];

        this.dataSourceSettings = {
            dataSource: this.pivotData
        };
    }
}

Adding fields to row, column, value and filter axes

Now that pivot table is initialized and assigned with sample data, will further move to showcase the component by organizing appropriate fields in row, column, value and filter axes.

In dataSourceSettings, four major axes - rows, columns, values and filters plays a vital role in defining and organizing fields from the bound data source, to render the entire pivot table component in a desired format.

rows – Collection of fields that needs to be displayed in row axis of the pivot table.

columns – Collection of fields that needs to be displayed in column axis of the pivot table.

values – Collection of fields that needs to be displayed as aggregated numeric values in the pivot table.

filters - Collection of fields that would act as master filter over the data bound in row, column and value axes of the pivot table.

In-order to define each field in the respective axis, the following basic properties should be set.

name: It allows to set the field name from the bound data source. It’s casing should match exactly like in the data source and if not set properly, the pivot table will not be rendered.
caption: It allows to set the field caption, which is the alias name of the field that needs to be displayed in the pivot table.
type: It allows to set the summary type of the field. By default, Sum is applied.
In this illustration, “Year” and “Quarter” are added in column, “Country” and “Products” in row, and “Sold” and “Amount” in value section respectively.

import { PivotViewAllModule, PivotFieldListAllModule } from '@syncfusion/ej2-angular-pivotview'
import { Component, OnInit } from '@angular/core';
import { IDataOptions, IDataSet } from '@syncfusion/ej2-angular-pivotview';

@Component({
imports: [        
        PivotViewAllModule,
        PivotFieldListAllModule
    ],
  standalone: true,
  selector: 'app-root',
  // specifies the template string for the pivot table component
  template: `<ejs-pivotview #pivotview id='PivotView' height='350' [dataSourceSettings]=dataSourceSettings></ejs-pivotview>`
})
export class AppComponent implements OnInit {
    public pivotData!: IDataSet[];
    public dataSourceSettings!: IDataOptions;

    ngOnInit(): void {

        this.pivotData = [
                { 'Sold': 31, 'Amount': 52824, 'Country': 'France', 'Products': 'Mountain Bikes', 'Year': 'FY 2015', 'Quarter': 'Q1' },
                { 'Sold': 51, 'Amount': 86904, 'Country': 'France', 'Products': 'Mountain Bikes', 'Year': 'FY 2015', 'Quarter': 'Q2' },
                { 'Sold': 90, 'Amount': 153360, 'Country': 'France', 'Products': 'Mountain Bikes', 'Year': 'FY 2015', 'Quarter': 'Q3' },
                { 'Sold': 25, 'Amount': 42600, 'Country': 'France', 'Products': 'Mountain Bikes', 'Year': 'FY 2015', 'Quarter': 'Q4' },
                { 'Sold': 27, 'Amount': 46008, 'Country': 'France', 'Products': 'Mountain Bikes', 'Year': 'FY 2016', 'Quarter': 'Q1' }];

        this.dataSourceSettings = {
            dataSource: this.pivotData,
            expandAll: false,
            columns: [{ name: 'Year', caption: 'Production Year' }, { name: 'Quarter' }],
            values: [{ name: 'Sold', caption: 'Units Sold' }, { name: 'Amount', caption: 'Sold Amount' }],
            rows: [{ name: 'Country' }, { name: 'Products' }]
        };
    }
}

Applying formatting to a value field

Formatting defines a way in which values should be displayed. For example, format “C” denotes the values should be displayed in currency pattern. To do so, define the formatSettings with its name and format properties and add it to formatSettings. In this illustration, the name property is set as Amount, a field from value section and its format is set as currency. Likewise, we can set format for other value fields as well and add it to formatSettings.

Only fields from value section, which is in the form of numeric data values are applicable for formatting.

import { PivotViewAllModule, PivotFieldListAllModule } from '@syncfusion/ej2-angular-pivotview'
import { Component, OnInit } from '@angular/core';
import { IDataOptions, IDataSet } from '@syncfusion/ej2-angular-pivotview';

@Component({
imports: [        
        PivotViewAllModule,
        PivotFieldListAllModule
    ],
  standalone: true,
  selector: 'app-root',
  // specifies the template string for the pivot table component
  template: `<ejs-pivotview #pivotview id='PivotView' height='350' [dataSourceSettings]=dataSourceSettings></ejs-pivotview>`
})
export class AppComponent implements OnInit {
    public pivotData!: IDataSet[];
    public dataSourceSettings!: IDataOptions;

    ngOnInit(): void {

        this.pivotData = [
                { 'Sold': 31, 'Amount': 52824, 'Country': 'France', 'Products': 'Mountain Bikes', 'Year': 'FY 2015', 'Quarter': 'Q1' },
                { 'Sold': 51, 'Amount': 86904, 'Country': 'France', 'Products': 'Mountain Bikes', 'Year': 'FY 2015', 'Quarter': 'Q2' },
                { 'Sold': 90, 'Amount': 153360, 'Country': 'France', 'Products': 'Mountain Bikes', 'Year': 'FY 2015', 'Quarter': 'Q3' },
                { 'Sold': 25, 'Amount': 42600, 'Country': 'France', 'Products': 'Mountain Bikes', 'Year': 'FY 2015', 'Quarter': 'Q4' },
                { 'Sold': 27, 'Amount': 46008, 'Country': 'France', 'Products': 'Mountain Bikes', 'Year': 'FY 2016', 'Quarter': 'Q1' }];

        this.dataSourceSettings = {
            dataSource: this.pivotData,
            expandAll: false,
            columns: [{ name: 'Year', caption: 'Production Year' }, { name: 'Quarter' }],
            values: [{ name: 'Sold', caption: 'Units Sold' }, { name: 'Amount', caption: 'Sold Amount' }],
            rows: [{ name: 'Country' }, { name: 'Products' }],
            formatSettings: [{ name: 'Amount', format: 'C0' }],
            filters: []
        };
    }
}

Module Injection

To create pivot table with additional features, inject the required modules. The modules that are available with basic functionality are as follows.

GroupingBarService - Inject this module to access grouping bar feature.
FieldListService - Inject this module to access pivot field list feature.
CalculatedFieldService - Inject this module to access calculated field feature.

These modules should be injected into the providers section of root NgModule or component class. On doing so, only the injected views will be loaded and displayed along with pivot table.

providers: [GroupingBarService]

Enable Field List

The field list allows to add or remove fields and also rearrange the fields between different axes, including column, row, value, and filter along with filter and sort options dynamically at runtime. It can be enabled by setting the showFieldList property to true and by injecting the FieldListService module as follows. To know more about field list, refer here.

If the FieldListService module is not injected, the Field List will not be rendered with the pivot table component.

    { Amount: 6300, Country: "United States", Date: "FY 2008", Product: "Van", Quantity: 45, State: "South Carolina" },
];

Enable Grouping Bar

The grouping bar feature automatically populates fields from the bound data source and allows end users to drag fields between different axes such as columns, rows, values, and filters, and alter pivot table at runtime. It also provides option to sort, filter and remove fields. It can be enabled by setting the showGroupingBar property to true and by injecting the GroupingBarService module as follows. To know more about grouping bar, refer here.

If the GroupingBarService module is not injected, the grouping bar will not be rendered with the pivot table component.

    { Amount: 6300, Country: "United States", Date: "FY 2008", Product: "Van", Quantity: 45, State: "South Carolina" },
];

Exploring Filter Axis

The filter axis contains collection of fields that would act as master filter over the data bound in row, column and value axes of the pivot table. The fields along with filter members could be set to filter axis either through report via code behind or by dragging and dropping fields from other axes to filter axis via grouping bar or field list at runtime.

Calculated field

The calculated field feature allows user to insert or add a new calculated field based on the available fields from the bound data source using basic arithmetic operators. The calculated field can be included in pivot table using the calculatedFieldSettings from code behind. Or else, calculated fields can be added at run time through the built-in dialog by just setting the allowCalculatedField property to true in pivot table. You will see a button enabled in the Field List UI automatically to invoke the calculated field dialog and perform necessary operation. To know more about calculated field, refer here.

Also calculated fields can be added to the bound datasource at run time through the built-in popup. The popup can be enabled by setting the allowCalculatedField property to true and by injecting the CalculatedFieldService module as follows.

If the CalculatedFieldService module is not injected, the calculated field popup will not be rendered with the pivot table component. By default, the calculated fields created through code-behind are only added to the field list and calculated field dialog UI. To display the calculated field in the pivot table UI, it must be added to the values property, as shown in the code below. Additionally, calculated fields can only be added to the value axis.

In Angular, the ViewChild method is used to access the instance of the component. It has following parameters.

selector - The directive type or the name used for querying.

read - Read a different token from the queried elements.

static - true to resolve query results before change detection runs, false to resolve after change detection. Default is false.

Under Angular 8 version, the static parameter is optional. So, follow the below code.
@ViewChild(‘pivotview’)

But the parameter is mandatory in Angular 8 and above versions. So, follow the below code.
@ViewChild(‘pivotview’, { static: false })
