Fill html-table data with jquery fails Uncaught ReferenceError
I would like to use jquery in Angular to create a table based on my data input. I am new to jquery, so this might be some dumb thing I forgot, but I cannot say what it is.
Sadly when I execute ng serve what happens is nothing, just a blank page.
I got the following code:
HTML
<body onLoad="createHeaders('#dataTable')">
<table #dataTable >
</table>
</body>
TS
import { Component, OnInit } from '@angular/core';
import { MOCKUP } from '../Table';
import * as $ from "jquery";
@Component({
selector: 'app-tabular',
templateUrl: './tabular.component.html',
styleUrls: ['./tabular.component.css']
})
export class TabularComponent implements OnInit {
constructor() { }
ngOnInit() {
}
//this is where i want to work in the future, lets just forget about that for the moment
buildHTMLTableCodeFromTree(selector) {
//var header = this.createHeaders(selector, MOCKUP.Head);
$(selector).append("<td>test</td>");
}
createHeaders(selector) {
var headObject = MOCKUP.Head;
console.log("Er ist in der Methode!");
var value;
var colspan;
var entry = "";
for (var j = 0; j < headObject.length; j++) {
entry = entry + "<tr>";
for (var i = 0; i < headObject[j].length; i++) {
value = headObject[j][i].value;
colspan = headObject[j][i].colspan;
entry = entry + "<th colSpan='" + colspan + "'>" + value + "</th>";
}
entry = entry + "</tr>";
}
$("dataTable").append(entry);
}
}

I wanted it to be a three-rowed header (Year, Month and the last row out of the last values of my HEAD-array). I've tried to do it according to
I also tried to do it like described here (so with $("#dataTable").append(entry); but that does not change the outcome.
Edit: Indeed there is an error, not in the command prompt where ng serve is executed, but in the Chrome-console:
Uncaught ReferenceError: createHeaders is not defined
at onload (localhost/:13)
Obviously he did not instantiate the method when executing the HTML-Code.
Edit: Why am I trying with jquery?
Note: This might not be necessary for the question itself, it is meant as an explanation
Here's an example of my data:

and the desired output:

Now the output has to be editable and these edits should be saved in my database (on button click, that's why I saved the entryID in my mockup).

If you want something really fast, however, it's best to do without jQuery and reuse as much of the objects you generate as possible.
<table id="dataTable"></table>
const MOCKUP = [{
type: 'thead',
children: [{
type: 'tr',
dataset: {id: 1},
children: [
{type: 'th', textContent: '', colSpan: 1, contentEditable: true},
{type: 'th', textContent: '2018', colSpan: 2, contentEditable: true},
{type: 'th', textContent: '2019', colSpan: 6, contentEditable: true}
]
}, {
type: 'tr',
dataset: {id: 2},
children: [
{type: 'th', textContent: '', colSpan: 1, contentEditable: true},
{type: 'th', textContent: 'December', colSpan: 2, contentEditable: true},
{type: 'th', textContent: 'January', colSpan: 2, contentEditable: true},
{type: 'th', textContent: 'February', colSpan: 2, contentEditable: true},
{type: 'th', textContent: 'March', colSpan: 2, contentEditable: true}
]
}, {
type: 'tr',
dataset: {id: 3},
children: [
{type: 'th', textContent: '', colSpan: 1, contentEditable: true},
{type: 'th', textContent: 'Foo', colSpan: 1, contentEditable: true},
{type: 'th', textContent: 'Boo', colSpan: 1, contentEditable: true},
{type: 'th', textContent: 'Foo', colSpan: 1, contentEditable: true},
{type: 'th', textContent: 'Boo', colSpan: 1, contentEditable: true},
{type: 'th', textContent: 'Foo', colSpan: 1, contentEditable: true},
{type: 'th', textContent: 'Boo', colSpan: 1, contentEditable: true},
{type: 'th', textContent: 'Foo', colSpan: 1, contentEditable: true},
{type: 'th', textContent: 'Boo', colSpan: 1, contentEditable: true}
]
}]
}];
const cache = {};
function assign(destination, source) {
for (const key in source) {
if (source.hasOwnProperty(key)) {
const value = source[key];
if (typeof value === 'object') {
assign(destination[key], value);
} else if (null != destination) {
destination[key] = value;
}
}
}
return destination;
}
function get(data, pathStr) {
const path = pathStr.split('.');
let i = path.length;
while (--i) {
data = data[path[i]];
}
return data;
}
function disassemble(target) {
let element;
while ((element = target.lastElementChild)) {
target.removeChild(element);
disassemble(element);
const type = element.tagName.toLowerCase();
const c = cache[type] || (cache[type] = );
c.push(element);
}
}
function assemble(target, path, data = ) {
const fragment = document.createDocumentFragment();
data.forEach(({type, children, ...config}, i) => {
const element = assign(cache[type] && cache[type].pop() || document.createElement(type), config);
const newPath = `.${i}${path}`;
element.dataset.path = newPath;
assemble(element, `.children${newPath}`, children);
fragment.appendChild(element);
});
target.appendChild(fragment);
}
function render(target, data) {
window.requestAnimationFrame(() => {
disassemble(target);
assemble(target, '', data);
});
}
const table = document.getElementById('dataTable');
table.addEventListener('input', ({target: {dataset, textContent, parentElement}}) => {
// use this to update local data
get(MOCKUP, dataset.path).textContent = textContent;
// easy access to row id (dataset values can only be strings)
parentElement.dataset.id
// raw dataset with all types and deep objects intact
get(MOCKUP, parentElement.dataset.path).dataset.id
});
render(table, MOCKUP);
Not as fast as React, but pretty darn close.

If you want something really fast, however, it's best to do without jQuery and reuse as much of the objects you generate as possible.
<table id="dataTable"></table>
const MOCKUP = [{
type: 'thead',
children: [{
type: 'tr',
dataset: {id: 1},
children: [
{type: 'th', textContent: '', colSpan: 1, contentEditable: true},
{type: 'th', textContent: '2018', colSpan: 2, contentEditable: true},
{type: 'th', textContent: '2019', colSpan: 6, contentEditable: true}
]
}, {
type: 'tr',
dataset: {id: 2},
children: [
{type: 'th', textContent: '', colSpan: 1, contentEditable: true},
{type: 'th', textContent: 'December', colSpan: 2, contentEditable: true},
{type: 'th', textContent: 'January', colSpan: 2, contentEditable: true},
{type: 'th', textContent: 'February', colSpan: 2, contentEditable: true},
{type: 'th', textContent: 'March', colSpan: 2, contentEditable: true}

{type: 'th', textContent: 'Foo', colSpan: 1, contentEditable: true},
{type: 'th', textContent: 'Boo', colSpan: 1, contentEditable: true},
{type: 'th', textContent: 'Foo', colSpan: 1, contentEditable: true},

}]
}];
const cache = {};
function assign(destination, source) {

const value = source[key];
if (typeof value === 'object') {
assign(destination[key], value);
} else if (null != destination) {
destination[key] = value;
}
}
}
return destination;
}
function get(data, pathStr) {
const path = pathStr.split('.');
let i = path.length;
while (--i) {

function disassemble(target) {
let element;

disassemble(element);
const type = element.tagName.toLowerCase();
const c = cache[type] || (cache[type] = );
c.push(element);
}
}
function assemble(target, path, data = ) {
const fragment = document.createDocumentFragment();
data.forEach(({type, children, ...config}, i) => {
const element = assign(cache[type] && cache[type].pop() || document.createElement(type), config);
const newPath = `.${i}${path}`;
element.dataset.path = newPath;
assemble(element, `.children${newPath}`, children);
fragment.appendChild(element);
});
target.appendChild(fragment);
}
function render(target, data) {
window.requestAnimationFrame(() => {
disassemble(target);
assemble(target, '', data);
});
}
const table = document.getElementById('dataTable');
table.addEventListener('input', ({target: {dataset, textContent, parentElement}}) => {
// use this to update local data
get(MOCKUP, dataset.path).textContent = textContent;
// easy access to row id (dataset values can only be strings)
parentElement.dataset.id
// raw dataset with all types and deep objects intact
get(MOCKUP, parentElement.dataset.path).dataset.id
});
render(table, MOCKUP);
Not as fast as React, but pretty darn close.
So my thought was that, if I would simply generate a String-object that is formatted like an HTML-table and pass it, this might work, but sadly when an entry is changed I cannot determine which entry it was to update it in my database, or am I missing something? But as i write this comment, I see that my solution is not offering this to me either...

why do you want to use jquery to manipulate the DOM in angular?
