Working with big data is not that easy. Every component should provide the means and tooling to actually make sense of the data that is going to be used by the end user. This is where components like the Ignite UI for Angular Grid<\/a> and rich row features prove to be handy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Brief \u2013 What Is Grid Row Feature in Angular?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Grid row features refer to the functionalities and capabilities that a certain Angular UI library (like Ignite UI for Angular library<\/a>, for example) provides so developers can manage and manipulate rows within a grid component efficiently and easily.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here are my top 5 Angular Grid Row features that you must have:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Row Selection<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

With row selection in Ignite UI for Angular<\/a>, a row selector column precedes all other columns within the row. When a user clicks on the row selector, the row will either become selected or deselected, enabling the user to select multiple rows of data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The sample below demonstrates the three types of Grid’s row selection<\/b> behavior. Use the buttons below to enable each of the available selection modes. A brief description will be provided on each button interaction through a snackbar message box. Use the switch button to hide<\/i> or show<\/i> the row selector checkbox.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Multi-Row Layout<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Multi-row Layout<\/a> extends the rendering capabilities of the igxGridComponent. The feature allows splitting a single data record into multiple visible rows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Row UI Actions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The grid component in Ignite UI for Angular provides the ability to use ActionStrip<\/a> and utilize CRUD for row\/cell components and row pinning. The Action Strip component can host predefined UI controls for these operations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Row Pinning<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

One or multiple rows can be pinned to the top or bottom of the Angular UI Grid. Row Pinning<\/b> in Ignite UI for Angular<\/a> allows end-users to pin rows in a particular order, duplicating them in a special, visible area even when they scroll the Grid vertically. The Material UI Grid has a built-in row pinning UI, which is enabled by initializing an igxActionStrip component in the context of the Grid. In addition, you can define custom UI and change the pin state of the rows via the Row Pinning API.
\"Row<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Row Dragging<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Row dragging<\/a> provides users with a row drag-handle with which they can initiate the dragging of a row.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wrap Up<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

There are different Grid row features and functionalities in Angular UI libraries available on the market. But to me, the must-have features are precisely Row selection, Multi-row layout, Role UI actions, Row pinning, and Row dragging. With them, users can more easily manage and manipulate tabular data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
