Angular PrimeNG Table Sections

Last Updated : 07 Oct, 2022

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. This article will show us how to use Table Column Grouping in Angular PrimeNG.

Angular PrimeNG Table Sections offer various templates to display additional information about the data such as a caption or summary.

Syntax:

<ng-template pTemplate="caption">
    Captions
</ng-template>
<ng-template pTemplate="summary">
    Summary
</ng-template>

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 Sections. In this example, we are using a captions template.

<h4>Angular PrimeNG Table Sections</h4> 
  
<p-table #myTab [value]="tableData"
