My requirement is to have dropdowns in each row of two columns of grid as below:
Here is stackblitz for my problem: https://stackblitz.com/edit/angular9-primeng9
User can select values for each row and save. I am able to fetch data from data source using service and initialize dropdown options in subscribe of observable. However, I am not able to set the selected item of each row on page load to display pre-existing rows (I think problem of setting up [(ngModel)]).
Also, I need to add a plus button which would add a new row to this table and result should be saved to database on save action. Any guidance / lead to address this issue would be of great help.
Below is HTML code I am using:
<p-table [columns]="cols" [value]="rows">
<ng-template pTemplate="header" let-columns>
<tr>
<th *ngFor="let col of columns">
{{col.header}}
</th>
</tr>
</ng-template>
<ng-template pTemplate="body" let-rowData let-columns="columns">
<tr>
<td>
<p-dropdown [options]="DropdownSource" [(ngModel)]="rowData.AAttribute" placeholder="Select"
[showClear]="true"></p-dropdown>
</td>
<td>
<p-dropdown [options]="DropdownSource" [(ngModel)]="rowData.BAttribute" placeholder="Select"
[showClear]="true"></p-dropdown>
</td>
</tr>
</ng-template>
</p-table>
and in component (subscribe in onchanges):
this.cols = [
{ "field": "field_0", "header": "A Attribute" },
{ "field": "field_1", "header": "B Attribute" }
];
this.rows = [{ "AAttribute": "Data3", "BAttribute": "DataC" },
{ "AAttribute": "Data5", "BAttribute": "DataE" }];
this.DropdownSource= [
{ "AAttribute": "Data1", "BAttribute": "DataA" },
{ "AAttribute": "Data2", "BAttribute": "DataB" },
{ "AAttribute": "Data3", "BAttribute": "DataC" },
{ "AAttribute": "Data4", "BAttribute": "DataD" },
{ "AAttribute": "Data5", "BAttribute": "DataE" },
{ "AAttribute": "Data6", "BAttribute": "DataF" }]
ngmodel expects object from the array.
refer below stackblitz https://stackblitz.com/edit/angular9-primeng9-dgxsjj
this.mappingRows = [{ "targetCol": "DataF", "SourceCol": this.sourceAttributes.find(p=>p.label === "Data3") },
{ "targetCol": this.targetAttributes[3], "SourceCol": "Data6" },
{ "targetCol": "DataC", "SourceCol": "Data1" }];
