ng2-md-datatable

Minor code cleanup, no change in functionalities

Features:

Version 1.7.3 adds compatibility with latest Angular 5.x and Material 5.x

Features:

Version 1.7.x adds compatibility for Angular 5.x and Material 5.0.0 final.

Features:

Version 1.6.x adds compatibility for Angular 5.x, Material 5.0.0-rc and RxJS 5.5.x. I managed to slighty reduce the size of the UMD bundle by using Rx's lettable operators.

Just a small version bump: I did publish another version to correctly update npmjs.com homepage with the latest revision of my README. No fix or feature whatsoever. Have fun!

Fixed / Breaking change:

Replaced these 3 interfaces by classes:

• IDatatablePaginationEvent => DatatablePaginationEvent
• IDatatableSelectionEvent => DatatableSelectionEvent
• IDatatableSortEvent => DatatableSortEvent

This to avoid an unsolvable warning when using them as type decorators.

Improvements:

• refactored code structure for better readability, using my now default beautifiers ESLint + Prettier
• reworked the build process to deliver an official Angular 4+ library including:
  • a tree-shakable ES2015 FESM package
  • a tree-shakable ES5 FESM package
  • an UMD package for System.JS (you would use this in Plunker)
  • expect smaller file sizes (when using Webpack or Angular-CLI) and faster building times
• added a notice regarding the official Material 2 DataTable (yes you can still use this one if you'd like)

Breaking changes:

The library is now enabled for the latest material-2.0.0-beta.12. If you've followed the latest Material 2 changes, you already know about the renaming & deprecation of all Md prefixes to Mat prefixes.

This lib follows these conventions as well, and all Md classes are now renamed to Mat. Please update your code accordingly.

Note that I didn't change the selectors, so you normally won't have to change your templates.

Feel free to open issues regarding feedback on this release.

Improvements:

• added pagination attributes by @AndreySyagrovskiy, many thanks! https://github.com/fredguile/ng2-md-datatable/pull/48

Fixes:

• fixed a RxJS dependency error
• fixed documentation & demo-app regarding the selectable attribute. Please make sure in your code that you always pass a boolean value to it, true|false|expression. Thanks for not using it without attribute value.

Hotfix for https://github.com/fredguile/ng2-md-datatable/issues/47

Fixes:

• Fixed selectable attribute not working with an expression
• Fixed build pipeline given last updates

Known issues:

• https://github.com/fredguile/ng2-md-datatable/issues/47

Changes:

Tested ng2-md-datatable with @angular/material 2.0.0-beta.6, now the peer dependency is just "@angular/material ~2.0.0-beta" to work with any beta version of @angular/material.

Fixes:

• improved rendering on mobile devices
• improved pagination rendering (discussed here: https://github.com/fredguile/ng2-md-datatable/issues/44)

Fixes:

• streamlined events order to prevent UI inconsistencies (using queue/trampoline Rx.Scheduler)
• Adjusted style of sort arrows to match https://material.io/guidelines/components/data-tables.html#data-tables-specs

Fixes:

• Applied some optimizations to datatable’s events and the way they are propagated to EventEmitters, with regards of Angular’s change detection. To solve some UI glitches still ocurring sometimes during change detection on my main app.

Fixes:

• Nothing really exciting, fixed a minor cosmetic issue where the ”check all” checkbox would stay checked even after the table has redrawn with no element.

Fixes:

• Fixed that MdDataTableComponent would emit one IDatatableSelectionEvent and one IDatatableSortEvent just after mounting. You probably don't need to capture the initial value using these EventEmitters, and just want to listen for changes when the user interacts with the MdDataTableComponent.

News:

• The library now hooks to the Redux DevTools Chrome Extension if present. It's mainly useful for the library maintainers, not much for the library users. But feel free to install this Chrome extension to monitor the DataTable's store state. Also don't expect to have fancy features like time travel or actions reorder to work, I've just implemented a basic monitoring of actions and state.

Fixes:

• Fixed build pipeline of this library, I hope it is now "state of the art".
• Migrated CircleCI configuration to v2.0 for using a docker image.

Breaking Changes:

• There should not be (and I still recommend using Angular 4.x and Angular CLI 1.0 with this lib).

Known issues:

• none (unless your feedback?)

Contributing:

• Feel free to open PR to enhance this project!
• I'll put very thin guidelines, basically in order to have a good PR merged:
  • please run gulp lint before opening a PR to make sure it complies to the current tslint.json / stylelint.json
  • please double-check that the build status of your branch is passing on CircleCI
  • feel free to write some unit or protractor tests, they are always welcome!

News:

• Fixed a re-rendering bug when the content of datatable gets updated by an Observable.
• I've added a "Shuffle" button in the demo-app to demo such change.
• Added CircleCI configuration, build, and badges in README.

Breaking Changes:

• Removed deprecated MdDatatable.forRoot(), please use MdDatatable instead.

Known issues:

• AOT compilation using angular-cli fails. This may be linked to my current build pipeline and/or Angular-CLI itself. For some reasons the binaries in dist/ are missing some important decorators (are they tree-shaked?). Consequently, my client app is complaining about @NgModule missing on MdDatatableModule, for instance. Any help would be appreciated to solve this, thanks :)
• Note that it also happens in 1.3.2, but 1.3.1 was apparently okay.

News:

• This version is compatible with Angular 4.x and Material 2-beta.3
• Column headers use the proper material arrow icon (thanks @Raphyyy)
• Fixed weird selection behavior when sorting columns (rows will now be deselected)

Breaking Changes:

• This version can be used with Angular 4.x only. For Angular 2.4.x you may use versions 1.2.x.

News:

• Ditched @ngrx/store to use my own implementation, so as to not wait for their upgrades for upgrading my lib to the next Angular versions.
• Fixed gulp tasks gulp lint, gulp test and gulp publish
• Moved demo-app into src/demo-app

Breaking Changes:

• MdDataTableModule.forRoot() will be deprecated at some point, hence I recommend just importing MdDataTableModule instead.

Known issues:

• Currently unable to compile AOT with Angular-CLI 1.0, I suspect that something is broken on their side. [UPDATE]: Actually this shall be fixed with this version.
• Not yet compatible with Angular 4.x (but soon).
