AdaptTable for Angular Material

Pivot tables in Angular Material

Grouping answers “what is the total per team”. A pivot answers “what is the total per team per status”, and that second dimension becomes columns your data never had.

Fields move between the three zones with buttons rather than drag, so the pivot can be built from the keyboard. Subtotals close every group and a grand total closes the table.

The configuration — axes, measures, aggregation and what you folded — lives in the URL, so a pivot you build is a pivot you can send someone.

The code

import { Component, computed, input } from "@angular/core";
import { AdaptDataTable } from "@adapttable/angular-material";
import {
  AdaptPivotPanel, injectPivotUrlState, pivot, pivotTableModel,
  type PivotField,
} from "@adapttable/angular-material/pivot";

@Component({
  selector: "app-spend",
  imports: [AdaptDataTable, AdaptPivotPanel],
  template: `
    <adapt-pivot-panel
      [fields]="fields" [config]="state.config()"
      [onChange]="state.onConfigChange"
    />
    <adapt-data-table
      [data]="model().rows" [columns]="model().columns"
      [rowKey]="model().rowKey" [summaryRow]="model().summaryRow"
    />
  `,
})
export class Spend {
  readonly rows = input.required<readonly Person[]>();
  readonly fields: readonly PivotField[] = [
    { key: "team", label: "Team" }, { key: "status", label: "Status" },
    { key: "budget", label: "Budget" },
  ];
  readonly state = injectPivotUrlState({
    urlKey: "p",
    defaultConfig: {
      rows: ["team"], columns: ["status"],
      measures: [{ key: "budget", agg: "sum" }],
    },
  });
  readonly model = computed(() => pivotTableModel(
    pivot(this.rows(), this.state.config(), { collapsed: this.state.collapsed() }),
    { fields: this.fields },
  ));
}

• Row grouping in Angular Material — Drag, select or keyboard grouping, with totals in the headers.
• Aggregation in Angular Material — Footer totals, pinned summaries, group aggregates — not data rows.
• Nested tables in Angular Material — A real table under a row — same engine, own columns, own keys.
