Introduction to Ignite-UI

Ignite-UI is a modern user interface library designed to empower developers with efficient and effective tools for creating high-performance web applications. Ignite-UI provides a wide range of components such as grids, charts, and other data visualization tools that allow developers to build sophisticated and responsive applications. In this blog post, we will explore dozens of useful APIs provided by Ignite-UI, complete with code snippets and an application example.

Data Grid API

The Data Grid component in Ignite-UI is a powerful tool that allows you to display and manipulate large datasets effectively.

Basic Data Grid Usage

  
      <igx-grid [data]="data">
          <igx-column field="id" header="ID" sortable="true"></igx-column>
          <igx-column field="name" header="Name" sortable="true"></igx-column>
          <igx-column field="age" header="Age" sortable="true"></igx-column>
      </igx-grid>
  

Filtering Data

  
      <igx-grid [data]="data">
          <igx-column field="id" header="ID" sortable="true" [filterable]="true"></igx-column>
          <igx-column field="name" header="Name" sortable="true" [filterable]="true"></igx-column>
          <igx-column field="age" header="Age" sortable="true" [filterable]="true"></igx-column>
      </igx-grid>
  

Paging

  
      <igx-grid [data]="data" [paging]="true" [perPage]="10">
          <igx-column field="id" header="ID" sortable="true" [filterable]="true"></igx-column>
          <igx-column field="name" header="Name" sortable="true" [filterable]="true"></igx-column>
          <igx-column field="age" header="Age" sortable="true" [filterable]="true"></igx-column>
      </igx-grid>
  

Chart API

Ignite-UI offers a versatile Chart component that helps in creating various types of charts to visualize data.

Line Chart

  
      <igx-line-chart [data]="data">
          <igx-axis-label title="Time" axisType="time" seriesKey="time"></igx-axis-label>
          <igx-axis-label title="Value" axisType="value" seriesKey="value"></igx-axis-label>
      </igx-line-chart>
  

Bar Chart

  
      <igx-bar-chart [data]="data">
          <igx-axis-label title="Category" axisType="category" seriesKey="category"></igx-axis-label>
          <igx-axis-label title="Value" axisType="value" seriesKey="value"></igx-axis-label>
      </igx-bar-chart>
  

Application Example

Here is a simple example of an application using Ignite-UI components including Data Grid and Charts.

App Component

  
      <igx-grid [data]="data">
          <igx-column field="id" header="ID" sortable="true" [filterable]="true"></igx-column>
          <igx-column field="name" header="Name" sortable="true" [filterable]="true"></igx-column>
          <igx-column field="age" header="Age" sortable="true" [filterable]="true"></igx-column>
      </igx-grid>

      <igx-line-chart [data]="chartData">
          <igx-axis-label title="Time" axisType="time" seriesKey="time"></igx-axis-label>
          <igx-axis-label title="Value" axisType="value" seriesKey="value"></igx-axis-label>
      </igx-line-chart>

      <igx-bar-chart [data]="chartData">
          <igx-axis-label title="Category" axisType="category" seriesKey="category"></igx-axis-label>
          <igx-axis-label title="Value" axisType="value" seriesKey="value"></igx-axis-label>
      </igx-bar-chart>
  

App Module

  
      import { IgxGridModule, IgxChartModule } from 'igniteui-angular';

      @NgModule({
        declarations: [AppComponent],
        imports: [BrowserModule, IgxGridModule, IgxChartModule],
        providers: [],
        bootstrap: [AppComponent]
      })
      export class AppModule { }
