AdaptTable for Angular CDK

AI table assistant in Angular CDK

This demo mounts a real Angular CDK table and its Angular CDK assistant. Start with scripted sorting, questions and approved edits, or connect your HTTP backend for free-form AI requests. The scripted mode needs no model or API key.

A question filters the table only after you answer. A proposed edit waits for your approval in the assistant, the table or a dialog; an approved write updates the host's data and its status line. Rejecting leaves the data unchanged, and the conversation records the execution result.

tableAgent and injectTableAssistant from @adapttable/ai-angular share the mounted table's session. The snippet below shows a minimal local sorting transport; the demo also includes questions and governed edits. JSON, OpenAI, HTTP, MCP, MCP Apps, WebMCP, AG-UI and AI SDK helpers can use the same session in your application.

The code

import type { AgentSession, AssistantTransport } from "@adapttable/ai";
import { injectTableAssistant, tableAgent } from "@adapttable/ai-angular";
import type { ColumnDef, TableAssistantProps } from "@adapttable/angular";
import { AdaptDataTable } from "@adapttable/angular-cdk";
import { AdaptTableAssistant } from "@adapttable/angular-cdk/assistant";
import { Component, computed, signal } from "@angular/core";

interface AgentPerson { id: string; name: string; salary: number }

// A minimal local transport: no model, endpoint or API key.
const transport: AssistantTransport = {
  send: async ({ session, text, signal }) => {
    if (!text.toLowerCase().includes("sort")) {
      return { text: "Try: sort salaries highest first." };
    }
    const key = "view.setSort";
    const result = await session.execute(
      key,
      { key: "salary", dir: "desc" },
      session.manifest().viewRevision,
      crypto.randomUUID(),
      signal
    );
    return {
      text: result.ok ? "Highest salary first." : "The sort was not applied.",
      keys: [key],
      results: [result],
    };
  },
};

@Component({
  selector: "app-people-assistant",
  imports: [AdaptDataTable, AdaptTableAssistant],
  template: `
    <adapt-data-table
      [data]="rows" [columns]="columns" [rowKey]="rowKey"
      [features]="features" [urlSync]="false"
    />
    <adapt-table-assistant [props]="props()" />
  `,
})
export class PeopleAssistant {
  readonly rows: readonly AgentPerson[] = [
    { id: "ada", name: "Ada Lovelace", salary: 120 },
    { id: "grace", name: "Grace Hopper", salary: 140 },
  ];
  readonly columns: readonly ColumnDef<AgentPerson>[] = [
    { key: "name", header: "Person" },
    { key: "salary", header: "Salary", sortable: true },
  ];
  readonly rowKey = (row: AgentPerson) => row.id;
  readonly session = signal<AgentSession | undefined>(undefined);
  readonly open = signal(false);
  readonly assistant = injectTableAssistant(computed(() => ({
    session: this.session(), transport,
  })));
  readonly props = computed((): TableAssistantProps => ({
    assistant: this.assistant(),
    open: this.open(),
    onOpenChange: (open) => this.open.set(open),
    presentation: "floating",
  }));
  readonly features = [tableAgent({
    tableId: "people", approval: "never",
    columns: { salary: { type: "number", sortable: true } },
    bridge: { attach: (session) => this.session.set(session) },
  })];
}
