Step 1 – Create New Angular App

If you haven’t already, you’ll need to install Angular CLI to create a new Angular project. Open your terminal or cmd and run the following commands:

ng new my-new-app

Step 2 – Install and Configure DataTables.net

Once you have created angular project into your system. Next, you need to install DataTables.net and its dependencies using npm.

npm install jquery --save
npm install datatables.net --save
npm install datatables.net-dt --save
npm install angular-datatables --save
npm install @types/jquery --save-dev
npm install @types/datatables.net --save-dev
npm install ngx-bootstrap bootstrap --save
npm install datatables.net-buttons --save
npm install datatables.net-buttons-dt --save
npm install @types/datatables.net-buttons --save-dev
npm install jszip --save

After that, open the angular.json file and update the following code in it:

"styles": [
              "src/styles.css",
              "node_modules/datatables.net-dt/css/jquery.dataTables.css",
              "node_modules/bootstrap/dist/css/bootstrap.min.css",
            ],
"scripts": [
            "node_modules/jquery/dist/jquery.js",
            "node_modules/datatables.net/js/jquery.dataTables.js",
            "node_modules/bootstrap/dist/js/bootstrap.js",
            "node_modules/jszip/dist/jszip.js",
            "node_modules/datatables.net-buttons/js/dataTables.buttons.js",
            "node_modules/datatables.net-buttons/js/buttons.colVis.js",
            "node_modules/datatables.net-buttons/js/buttons.flash.js",
            "node_modules/datatables.net-buttons/js/buttons.html5.js",
            "node_modules/datatables.net-buttons/js/buttons.print.js"
           
            ]

Step 3 – Import Modules in Module.ts File

Next, visit to src/app directory and open app.module.ts file. Then add the following code to it:

import { BrowserModule } from '@angular/platform-browser';
import { NgModule } from '@angular/core';
import { AppComponent } from './app.component';
import {DataTablesModule} from 'angular-datatables';
@NgModule({
  declarations: [
    AppComponent
  ],
  imports: [
    BrowserModule,
    DataTablesModule
  ],
  providers: [],
  bootstrap: [AppComponent]
})
export class AppModule { }

Step 4 – Create HTML Table on View File

Then, create table to display dynamic data in angular apps. So, visit src/app/app.component.html and update the following code into it:

<table class="table table-striped table-bordered table-sm row-border hover" datatable [dtOptions]="dtOptions">
  <thead>
    <tr>
      <th>Name</th>
      <th>Email</th>
      <th>Website</th>
    </tr>
  </thead>
  <tbody>
   <tr *ngFor="let group of data">
         <td>{{group.name}}</td>
         <td>{{group.email}}</td>
         <td>{{group.website}}</td>
     </tr>
  </tbody>
</table>

Step 5 – Add Print and Export Functionality

In order to add print and export functionality, we need to include the DataTables.net Buttons extension. Update the app.component.ts file as follows:

import { Component, OnInit } from '@angular/core';
@Component({
  selector: 'app-root',
  templateUrl: './app.component.html',
  styleUrls: ['./app.component.css']
})
export class AppComponent {
  public data = [
    {name: 'test', email: '[email protected]', website:'test.com'},
    {name: 'test', email: '[email protected]', website:'test.com'},
    {name: 'test', email: '[email protected]', website:'test.com'},
    {name: 'test', email: '[email protected]', website:'test.com'},
];

  title = 'angulardatatables';
  dtOptions: any = {};
  ngOnInit() {
    this.dtOptions = {
      pagingType: 'full_numbers',
      pageLength: 3,
      processing: true,
      dom: 'Bfrtip',
        buttons: [
            'copy', 'csv', 'excel', 'print'
        ]
    };
}
}

Step 6 – Run the Application

Finally, run the following command on the terminal or cmd to start angular app:

ng serve

Visit http://localhost:4200 in your web browser to see the DataTable with print and export functionality.
