Angular PrimeNG Table GridLines

Angular PrimeNG is an open-source framework with a rich set of native Angular UI components that are used for great styling and this framework is used to make responsive websites with very much ease. In this article, we will see how to use Table GridLines in Angular PrimeNG.

Angular PrimeNG Table GridLines display borders between cells, Some themes may always display gridlines by design.

Syntax:

<p-table [value]="..." 
         styleClass="p-datatable-gridlines">
</p-table>

Creating Angular application & Module Installation:

Step 1: Create an Angular application using the following command.

ng new appname

Step 2:  After creating your project folder i.e. appname, move to it using the following command.

cd appname

Step 3: Install PrimeNG in your given directory.

npm install primeng --save
npm install primeicons --save

Project Structure: It will look like the following:

Example 1: Below is a simple example demonstrating the use of the Angular PrimeNG Table GridLines.
