AdaptTable for ngx-bootstrap
AI table assistant in ngx-bootstrap Angular
This demo mounts a real ngx-bootstrap Angular table and its ngx-bootstrap 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 { 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],
