Integrating WebDataRocks
This tutorial shows how to integrate the WebDataRocks reporting tool with the Angular framework. WebDataRocks wrapper is Ivy-compatible and works with Angular 5 or later.
You can also run our sample project from GitHub.
Prerequisites
Step 1. Create a project (optional)
If you don’t have an Angular application yet, create one by running the following commands in the console:
ng new PROJECT-NAME --standalone=false
cd PROJECT-NAME
Step 2. Get WebDataRocks
Install the WebDataRocks Angular wrapper. You can choose between the following wrappers:
- @webdatarocks/ngx-webdatarocks (recommended). For Angular 14 and later, Ivy-compatible.
- @webdatarocks/ng-webdatarocks. For Angular 5 through 15.
Then, download the chosen wrapper from npm:
ngx-webdatarocks
npm install @webdatarocks/ngx-webdatarocks
ng-webdatarocks
npm install @webdatarocks/ng-webdatarocks
Step 3. Include WebDataRocks
Step 3.1. Import the WebDataRocksPivotModule
into src/app/app.module.ts
:
ngx-webdatarocks
import { BrowserModule } from '@angular/platform-browser';
import { NgModule } from '@angular/core';
import { WebdatarocksPivotModule } from '@webdatarocks/ngx-webdatarocks';
import { AppRoutingModule } from './app-routing.module';
import { AppComponent } from './app.component';
@NgModule({
declarations: [
AppComponent
],
imports: [
BrowserModule,
AppRoutingModule,
WebdatarocksPivotModule
],
providers: [],
bootstrap: [AppComponent]
})
export class AppModule { }
ng-webdatarocks
import { BrowserModule } from '@angular/platform-browser';
import { NgModule } from '@angular/core';
import { WebdatarocksPivotModule } from '@webdatarocks/ng-webdatarocks';
import { AppComponent } from './app.component';
@NgModule({
declarations: [
AppComponent
],
imports: [
BrowserModule,
WebdatarocksPivotModule
],
providers: [],
bootstrap: [AppComponent]
})
export class AppModule { }
Step 3.2. Add WebDataRocks styles to the src/styles.css
file:
@import '@webdatarocks/webdatarocks/webdatarocks.min.css';
Step 3.3. Open src/app/app.component.html
and add WebDataRocks there using the app-wbr-pivot
directive:
<app-wbr-pivot
[toolbar]="true">
</app-wbr-pivot>
Step 4. See the result
Run your application:
ng serve --open
Open http://localhost:4200/
in the browser — WebDataRocks is embedded into your Angular project.
You can shut down the app with Ctrl + C
.
