Angular PrimeNG TreeTable Column Toggle

Last Updated : 24 Apr, 2025

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. It provides a lot of templates, components, theme design, an extensive icon library, and much more. In this article, we will see the Angular PrimeNG TreeTable Column Toggle.

TreeTable is used to display hierarchical data in tabular format. The Events help us to know the actions that are taking place and we can keep a check on them and also show relevant updates accordingly.

Creating Angular application & Module Installation:

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

ng new geeks_angular

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

cd geeks_angular

Step 3: Install PrimeNG in your given directory.

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

Project Structure: The project structure will look like the following:

Steps to run the application: Run the below command to see the output

ng serve --save

Example 1: In the following example, we have a simple TreeNode Column Toggle in Angular PrimeNG.

Example 2: In the following example, we have a TreeNode Column Toggle in Angular PrimeNG which is showing the toast message while sorting. Also, the position of the column toggle is changed to center.
