Angular PrimeNG TreeTable Column Reordering

Last Updated : 07 Sep, 2022

Angular PrimeNG is an open-source framework with a rich set of native Angular UI components that are used for great styling and this framework is used to make responsive websites with very much ease. This article will show us how to use TreeTable Column Reordering in Angular PrimeNG.

Angular PrimeNG TreeTable Column Reordering enables the reordering of columns in the TreeTable component. Columns can be reordered according to the user's needs, making the table More Interactive and user-friendly.

Syntax:

<p-treeTable 
    [value]="tableData" 
    [columns]="cols" 
    [scrollable]="true" 
    scrollHeight="200px" 
    [reorderableColumns]="true">
    
    <ng-template pTemplate="colgroup" let-columns>
        ...
    </ng-template>
    <ng-template pTemplate="header" let-columns>
        ...
    </ng-template>
    <ng-template pTemplate="body">
        ...
    </ng-template>
</p-treeTable>

Creating Angular application & Module Installation:

Step 1: Create an Angular application using the following command.

ng new appname

Step 2: After creating your project folder i.e. appname, move to it using the following command.

cd appname

Step 3: Install PrimeNG in your given directory.

npm install primeng --save
npm install primeicons --save

Project Structure: It will look like the following:
