Angular PrimeNG Table Layout

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. It provides a lot of templates, components, theme design, an extensive icon library, and much more. In this article, we are going to learn Angular PrimeNG Table Layout.

Angular PrimeNG Table is used to display data in tabular format. The Table comes with two different layouts. The layouts are used for the different screen sizes and make them responsive. 

Angular PrimeNG Table Layout:

• Stack Layout: In stack layout, columns are displayed as stacked after a certain breakpoint. 
• Scroll Layout: It is used when not enough space for the table is available to fit all the content efficiently. The table displays a horizontal scrollbar.

Syntax:

<p-table [value]="tutorials" 
    [tableStyle]="{'min-width': '640px'}">
</p-table>

Creating Angular application & Module Installation:

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

ng new geeks_angular

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

cd geeks_angular

Step 3: Install PrimeNG in your given directory.

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

Project Structure: The project structure will look like the following:

Steps to run the application: Run the below command to see the output

ng serve --save

Example 1: Below is the example code that illustrates the use of the Angular PrimeNG Dock Properties. In the following example, we have a Dock in the left direction.
