Grid Row Sort

Grid for Angular

Angular standalone version of this topic (compatible with Angular 17+). Import both the Smart UI component and module in the standalone component.

What this topic covers: practical setup, the framework-specific API access pattern, and copy-adapt guidance for the examples in this page.

import { Component, ViewChild, ViewEncapsulation } from '@angular/core';
import { CommonModule } from '@angular/common';
import { RouterOutlet } from '@angular/router';
import { GridComponent, GridModule } from 'smart-webcomponents-angular/grid';

@Component({
  selector: 'app-root',
  standalone: true,
  imports: [CommonModule, GridModule, RouterOutlet],
  templateUrl: './app.component.html',
  styleUrls: ['./app.component.css'],
  encapsulation: ViewEncapsulation.None
})
export class AppComponent {
  @ViewChild('grid', { read: GridComponent, static: false }) grid!: GridComponent;
}
<!-- app.component.html -->
<smart-grid #grid></smart-grid>

Use this.grid for API methods in this topic.

Row Drag

You can drag rows and reorder rows in the Grid. The following properties should be set to enable row dragging.

behavior: {
	allowRowReorder: true
},
appearance: {
	showRowHeader: true,
	showRowHeaderDragIcon: true
}
	


The 'rowDragStart', 'rowDragging', 'rowDragEnd' and 'rowReorder' events occur during the drag and drop process.
The following example shows how to implement drag and drop of rows between two Grid instances.

Implementation Notes

Compatibility: Angular 17+ (standalone)   API access pattern: @ViewChild(...) + this.component.method()

Lifecycle guidance: Bind inputs declaratively and call imperative API through @ViewChild in/after ngAfterViewInit.

Common pitfalls:

  • Using @ViewChild API too early (before view init).
  • Omitting standalone imports for Smart modules in @Component.imports.
  • Type mismatches between configuration fields and template bindings.

Validation checklist:

  • Ensure module import exists in standalone component imports array.
  • Use typed @ViewChild(..., { read: ComponentType }).
  • Call imperative methods after view initialization.
