10 Best Angular DataTables

Tables are the important part of any great application. Almost every web application use tables to display records on the webpage.

Using HTML we can create the simple table. But Simple HTML table does not provide the advanced features like responsive layout, pagination, filtering results, dynamic sorting etc. We need to implement separate code for these features.

In angular, we can implement above advance table features. But instead of writing separate code, we can use the built-in Angular DataTable Components which give us all above feature as well as other advanced features.

Here is the 10 best angular datatables which I prefer to use for advance table features.

JavaScript new features in ES2019(ES10)

The 2019 edition of the ECMAScript specification has many new features. Among them, I will summarize the ones that seem most useful to me. First, you can run these examples in  node.js ≥12 . To Install Node.js 12 on Ubuntu-Debian-Mint you can do the following: $sudo apt update $sudo apt -y upgrade $sudo apt update $sudo apt -y install curl dirmngr apt-transport-https lsb-release ca-certificates $curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_12.x | sudo -E bash - $sudo apt -y install nodejs Or, in  Chrome Version ≥72,  you can try those features in the developer console(Alt +j). Array.prototype.flat && Array.prototype. flatMap The  flat()  method creates a new array with all sub-array elements concatenated into it recursively up to the specified depth. let array1 = ['a','b', [1, 2, 3]]; let array2 = array1.flat(); //['a', 'b', 1, 2, 3] We should also note that the method excludes gaps or empty elements in the array: let array1

Understand Angular’s forRoot and forChild

  forRoot   /   forChild   is a pattern for singleton services that most of us know from routing. Routing is actually the main use case for it and as it is not commonly used outside of it, I wouldn’t be surprised if most Angular developers haven’t given it a second thought. However, as the official Angular documentation puts it: “Understanding how  forRoot()  works to make sure a service is a singleton will inform your development at a deeper level.” So let’s go. Providers & Injectors Angular comes with a dependency injection (DI) mechanism. When a component depends on a service, you don’t manually create an instance of the service. You  inject  the service and the dependency injection system takes care of providing an instance. import { Component, OnInit } from '@angular/core'; import { TestService } from 'src/app/services/test.service'; @Component({ selector: 'app-test', templateUrl: './test.component.html', styleUrls: ['./test.component
