I've checked the document and source code for pagination implementation (advanced-example-server.component.ts).
And found that the ServerDataSource it used had only implemented pagination via HTTP GET (_sort, _limit, _page, etc parameters expose in URL)..... as my current project worked on required to use POST to send front-end parameters to back-end Restful APIs,
using extends to HTTP post call implement, I don't know how to add the extra parameters in pagination request. I Need To pass the request_server to extendsplugin.ts
import { Observable } from 'rxjs/internal/Observable';
import { ServerDataSource } from 'ng2-smart-table';
export class PostServerDataSource extends ServerDataSource {
protected requestElements(): Observable<any> {
let httpParams = this.createRequesParams();
return this.http.post(this.conf.endPoint, request_server, { observe: 'response' });
}
}
anotherComponent.ts
swiftListTable() {
const request_server = { "userType": this.currentUser.role, "authName": this.currentUser.username }
this.source = new PostServerDataSource(this.http,{endPoint: this.service.apiURL + 'swift/pagination', dataKey: 'content', pagerLimitKey:"_limit",
pagerPageKey:"_page",
sortDirKey: "pageable",
sortFieldKey: "pageable",
totalKey:'totalElements'});
}
There are two ways you can handle it, one way is attaching the params in query string and append to url like,
this.service.apiURL + 'swift/pagination?param1=p¶m2=q'
Other way could be handling it in requestElements and swiftListTable functions like below.
swiftListTable() {
const request_server = {
"userType": this.currentUser.role,
"authName": this.currentUser.username
}
this.source = new PostServerDataSource(http,
{ endPoint: url, dataKey: 'content', pagerLimitKey:'_limit'}, request_server);
export class PostServerDataSource extends ServerDataSource {
params: any;
constructor(http: HttpClient, config: any, params?: any) {
super(http, config);
this.params = params;
}
protected requestElements(): Observable<any> {
let httpParams = this.createRequesParams();
if (this.params) {
let keys = Object.keys(this.params);
keys.forEach((key) => {
httpParams = httpParams.set(key, this.params[key]);
});
}
return this.http.post(this.conf.endPoint, httpParams, { observe: 'response' });
}
}
