How to create an accordion table with Bootstrap and Angular ngFor and fixed indentation?
Solution 1
After several tries it seems that the table component doesn't fit well into a Bootstrap grid container. I could get good results using only div tags with Bootstrap grid system.
Solution 2
Thanks for your post, it helped steered me in the right direction with my project. I figured I would post what I was doing, even though it's not exactly the same. It may help someone else who is trying the same thing. I stopped using ng-bootstrap's Collapse
in order to get this to work. Sorry if my terminology is wrong, I'm new to Angular.
What I was working on was a large table with data pulled from a JSON file. At the end of the table row is a button that, when clicked, shows another row with more data.
I was able to get this working without distorting the original row. Here is my result, along with the CSS I used. I hardcoded some stuff for testing, just FYI.
HTML:
ID of table: subs-table
<ng-container *ngFor="let sub of subs; index as i">
<tr>
<th scope="row">{{sub.Name}}</th>
<td><img src="../../assets/{{sub.Image}}"></td>
<td>{{sub.Description}}</td>
<td>
<button class="btn btn-outline-primary btn-block" type="button" data-toggle="collapse" [attr.data-target]="'#collapse-' + i" [attr.aria-expanded]="false" [attr.aria-controls] = "'collapse-' + i"></button>
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td colspan="4" class="collapse-row">
<div [attr.id]="'collapse-' + i" class="container collapse out">
<div class="row">
<div class="col">Min Splash Damage: 25</div>
<div class="col">Splash Damage: 35</div>
<div class="col">Direct Hit Damage: 60</div>
<div class="col">Ink Consumption: 40%</div>
</div>
</div>
</td>
</tr>
</ng-container>
CSS:
/* Sets button text when clicked. Should combine these later with wildcards */
#subs-table .btn-primary:before {
content:'Click for details';
}
#subs-table .btn-primary[aria-expanded="true"]:before {
content:'Close Details';
}
/* Styling of the collapsible row */
#subs-table td.collapse-row {
border-style: none;
padding: 0;
}
I hope this helps any passerby!

My goal is to copy this behaviour and to include it in a ngFor loop.
I've tried several codes, each one having a different issue:
Try 1:
<table class="table"> <tbody> <tr *ngFor="let game of games; let i = index" class="clickable-row" data-toggle="collapse" [attr.data-target]="'#gameDetails' + i"> <td class="text-nowrap">{{game.date}} <div [attr.id]="'gameDetails' + i" class="collapse"> <p>Insert a large component in this place</p> </div> </td> <td class="text-nowrap">{{game.label}}</td> <td class="text-nowrap">{{game.score}}</td> </tr> </tbody> </table>
Try 1 result, collapsed:
Try 1 result, deployed:
In the try 1 the problem is that the collapsed component fits in the left cell, impacting the cells at his right.
Try 2:
<table class="table"> <tbody> <div *ngFor="let game of games; let i = index"> <tr class="clickable-row" data-toggle="collapse" [attr.data-target]="'#game2Details' + i"> <td class="text-nowrap">{{game.date}}</td> <td class="text-nowrap">{{game.label}}</td> <td class="text-nowrap">{{game.score}}</td> </tr> <tr [attr.id]="'game2Details' + i" class="collapse"> <td colspan="3">Insert a large component in this place</td> </tr> </div> </tbody> </table>
Try 2 result, collapsed:
Try 2 result, deployed:
In the try 2 we lose the table indentation when details are collapsed.
Try 3:
<table class="table"> <tbody> <tr *ngFor="let game of games; let i = index"> <table class="table"> <tbody> <tr class="accordion-toggle" data-toggle="collapse" [attr.data-target]="'#game4Details' + i"> <td>{{game.date}}</td> <td>{{game.label}}</td> <td>{{game.score}}</td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="3" class="hiddentablerow"> <div [attr.id]="'game4Details' + i" class="accordian-body collapse">Insert a large component in this place </div> </td> </tr> </tbody> </table> </tr> </tbody> </table>
Try 3 result, collapsed:
Try 3 result, deployed:
In the try 3 the indentation differs between the different inner tables.
Is there a way to keep the indentation before and after the deploy of the collapsed row? Or maybe another way using something else than a table ?
