I am trying to build a table in angular and node application using MatTable DataSource. I have created a backend with an API call and a frontend with angular material. I am trying to get data from server and display it in a table. I have written the following code but it doesn’t seem to work. Can someone help me?
TableService.ts
import { Injectable } from '@angular/core';
import {HttpClient} from '@angular/common/http';
import {OrderDetail} from '../smartcard/table/table.component'
@Injectable({
providedIn: 'root'
})
export class TableService {
uri = "http://localhost:3000/users"
constructor(protected http: HttpClient) { }
getOrders() {
return this.http.get<OrderDetail[]>(`{this.uri}`)
}
}
Table.component.ts
import {Component, OnInit} from '@angular/core';
import {MatTableDataSource} from '@angular/material/table';
import { DataSource } from '@angular/cdk/table';
import {TableService} from '../../services/table.service';
import { filter } from 'rxjs';
export interface OrderDetail {
position: number;
modelname: string;
status: string;
trackinglink: string;
id: string;
};
@Component({
selector: 'app-table',
styleUrls: ['./table.componenet.css'],
templateUrl: 'table.component.html',
})
export class TableOrders {
orders: OrderDetail[] = [];
displayedColumns = ['position', 'orderid', 'status', 'trackinglink'];
dataSource = new MatTableDataSource<OrderDetail>();
constructor(private tableService: TableService) { }
ngOnInit() {
this.fetchOrders()
}
fetchOrders() {
this.tableService
.getOrders()
.subscribe( data => {
this.dataSource.data = data;
});
}
applyFilter(event: Event) {
const filterValue = (event.target as HTMLInputElement).value;
this.dataSource.filter = filterValue.trim().toLowerCase();
}
}
Table.component.html
<mat-form-field appearance="standard" class="filter-form">
<mat-label class="Filter" >Filter by typing in a keyword: </mat-label>
<input matInput (keyup)="applyFilter($event)" placeholder="Ex. SmartcardB" #input>
</mat-form-field>
<br>
<br>
<table mat-table [dataSource]="dataSource" class="mat-elevation-z8">
<ng-container matColumnDef="position">
<th mat-header-cell *matHeaderCellDef> No. </th>
<td mat-cell *matCellDef="let order"> {{order.position}} </td>
</ng-container>
<ng-container matColumnDef="modelname">
<th mat-header-cell *matHeaderCellDef> Name </th>
<td mat-cell *matCellDef="let order"> {{order.shipment_id}} </td>
</ng-container>
<ng-container matColumnDef="status">
<th mat-header-cell *matHeaderCellDef> status</th>
<td mat-cell *matCellDef="let order"> {{order.shipment_state_message}} </td>
</ng-container>
<ng-container matColumnDef="trackinglink">
<th mat-header-cell *matHeaderCellDef> Tracking ID </th>
<td mat-cell *matCellDef="let order"> <a href="order.tracking_link">{{order.tracking_number}}</a></td>
</ng-container>
<tr mat-header-row *matHeaderRowDef="displayedColumns"></tr>
<tr mat-row *matRowDef="let row; columns: displayedColumns;"></tr>
<!-- Row shown when there is no matching data. -->
<tr class="mat-row" *matNoDataRow>
<td class="mat-cell" colspan="4">No data matching the filter "{{input.value}}"</td>
</tr>
</table>
Backend-api-call:
app.get("/user", (req, res) => {
console.log(req)
orders(user_email,res)
})
Datafrom server:
{
"position": 1,
"shipment_id": 13,
"shipment_state_message": Delivered
"tracking_link": TrackingLink,
"tracking_number": 98
}
I am new to angular and using it to build a website for my team. Please help me out.

Try this:
Three things to correct in your code to guarante that it will work for you as expected:
1)
In service:
TableService.ts
${this.uri}
not{this.uri}
. You are missing the$
sign.2)
In component:
Table.component.ts
Your data type:
Data-from-server
:Your response from your API endpoint should be an
Array of Objects
not anObject literal
.
