Table for AngularJS OLAP client

[Pablo S]

Hi Xavier,

I will start developing an AngularJS module that will implement Pivot4J at the server side. RESTful services will be initially developed in Play for Scala, though equivalent services could be implemented in other Scala or Java frameworks integrated with the same AngularJS client.

Question: I need to make a decision on how to implement the table, I was thinking on a plain HTML table because it supports colspan/rowspan and styles can be easily customized, any ideas/suggestions?

Cheers

Pablo

Hi Pablo,

I agree that plain HTML could be a good option, as it is the easiest and also
the fastest way to implement the view. And Pivot4J even ships HTML renderer
callback which you can use it with a minimal tweak too.

Maybe you can start with the HTML renderer and switch over to other options
when you get comfortable with how the API works, and more concrete use
cases arise.

As to the library, I can only think of DhtmlX and ExtJS components, which
provides cell/row merging capabilities. But I wouldn't recommend to use them
from the start, as it's more complex to use and usually don't play too well
with Angular.js.

Regards,
Xavier
