Angular 12 PrimeNG Data Table with Export to PDF Button

Hello friends, welcome back to my blog. Today this blog post will tell you, Angular 12 PrimeNG Data Table with Export to PDF Button.

Angular 12 and Bootstrap 5 came and if you are new then you must check below two links:

1. Angular12 Basic Tutorials
2. PrimeNG
3. Bootstrap 5

Friends now I proceed onwards and here is the working code snippet and please use carefully this to avoid the mistakes:

1. Firstly friends we need fresh angular 12 setup and for this we need to run below commands but if you already have angular 12 setup then you can avoid below commands. Secondly we should also have latest node version installed on our system:

npm install -g @angular/cli 

ng new angularprimeng //Create new Angular Project

cd angularprimeng // Go inside the Angular Project Folder

2. Now friends we need to run below commands into our project terminal to install primeng and pdf file save modules into our angular application:

npm install primeng --save

npm install primeicons --save 

npm install @angular/cdk --save

npm i jspdf

npm i jspdf-autotable

npm install primeflex --save //for flex layout

3. Now friends we just need to add below code into angularprimeng/src/app/app.component.html file to get final out on the web browser:

<p-table #dt [value]="sales">
    <ng-template pTemplate="caption">
        <div class="p-d-flex">
            <button type="button" pButton pRipple icon="pi pi-file-pdf" (click)="exportPdf()" class="p-button-warning p-mr-2" pTooltip="PDF" tooltipPosition="bottom"></button>
        </div>
    </ng-template>
    <ng-template pTemplate="header">
        <tr>
            
            <th pSortableColumn="brand">Brand <p-sortIcon field="brand"></p-sortIcon></th>
            <th>Last Year Sale</th>
            <th>This Year Sale</th>
            <th>Last Year Profit</th>
            <th>This Year Profit</th>
        </tr>
        
    </ng-template>
    <ng-template pTemplate="body" let-sale>
        <tr>
            <td>{{sale.brand}}</td>
            <td>{{sale.lastYearSale}}</td>
            <td>{{sale.thisYearSale}}</td>
            <td>{{sale.lastYearProfit}}</td>
            <td>{{sale.thisYearProfit}}</td>
        </tr>
    </ng-template>
</p-table>

4. Now friends we just need to add below code into angularprimeng/angular.json file:

 "styles": [
              "src/styles.css",
              "node_modules/primeng/resources/themes/saga-blue/theme.css",
              "node_modules/primeng/resources/primeng.min.css",
              "node_modules/primeflex/primeflex.css",
              "node_modules/primeicons/primeicons.css",
            ],
...

5. Now friends we just need to add below code into angularprimeng/src/app/app.component.ts file:

...
import jsPDF from "jspdf";
import autoTable from "jspdf-autotable"

export class AppComponent {

...

//custom data
sales = [
    { brand: 'Apple', lastYearSale: '51%', thisYearSale: '40%', lastYearProfit: '$54,406.00', thisYearProfit: '$43,342' },
    { brand: 'Samsung', lastYearSale: '83%', thisYearSale: '96%', lastYearProfit: '$423,132', thisYearProfit: '$312,122' },
    { brand: 'Microsoft', lastYearSale: '38%', thisYearSale: '5%', lastYearProfit: '$12,321', thisYearProfit: '$8,500' },
    { brand: 'Philips', lastYearSale: '49%', thisYearSale: '22%', lastYearProfit: '$745,232', thisYearProfit: '$650,323,' },
    { brand: 'Song', lastYearSale: '17%', thisYearSale: '79%', lastYearProfit: '$643,242', thisYearProfit: '500,332' },
    { brand: 'LG', lastYearSale: '52%', thisYearSale: ' 65%', lastYearProfit: '$421,132', thisYearProfit: '$150,005' },
    { brand: 'Sharp', lastYearSale: '82%', thisYearSale: '12%', lastYearProfit: '$131,211', thisYearProfit: '$100,214' },
    { brand: 'Panasonic', lastYearSale: '44%', thisYearSale: '45%', lastYearProfit: '$66,442', thisYearProfit: '$53,322' },
    { brand: 'HTC', lastYearSale: '90%', thisYearSale: '56%', lastYearProfit: '$765,442', thisYearProfit: '$296,232' },
    { brand: 'Toshiba', lastYearSale: '75%', thisYearSale: '54%', lastYearProfit: '$21,212', thisYearProfit: '$12,533' }
];

columns = [
  { title: "Brands", dataKey: "brand" },
  { title: "Last Year Sale", dataKey: "lastYearSale" },
  { title: "This Year Sale", dataKey: "thisYearSale" },
  { title: "Last Year Profit", dataKey: "lastYearProfit" },
  { title: "This Year Profit", dataKey: "thisYearProfit" }
];

//pdf button functionality
exportPdf() {
 
          const doc = new jsPDF('p','pt');
          
          autoTable(doc, {
            columns: this.columns,
            body: this.sales,
            didDrawPage: (dataArg) => { 
             doc.text('Sales', dataArg.settings.margin.left, 10);
            }
       }); 
          doc.save('sales.pdf');
}


}

6. Now friends we just need to add below code into angularprimeng/src/app/app.module.ts file:

...
import { BrowserAnimationsModule } from '@angular/platform-browser/animations';
import { TableModule } from 'primeng/table';
import { DropdownModule } from 'primeng/dropdown';
import { ButtonModule } from 'primeng/button';

@NgModule({
 ...
  imports: [
   ...
    BrowserAnimationsModule,
    TableModule,
    DropdownModule,
    ButtonModule
  ],
  ...

Friends in the end must run ng serve command into your terminal to run the angular 12 project(localhost:4200).

Now we are done friends. If you have any kind of query, suggestion and new requirement then feel free to comment below.
