The goal of this repo is to document the development process of an Angular component. Each branch will represent a specific development snapshot that shows the evolution of the component from the initial stages to a version that is suitable for actual use.
The component to be developed will be a datatable. As development progresses some elements of the datatable will very likely be moved to their own components but the initial design will focus on a single component representing the entire table.
The table will be developed initially with a simple data set of fields with randomly generated values.
The initial version will also immediately set change detection to onPush so that features are developed in a way that works with the more performant version of change detection.
This development process will not focus on styling. A simple set of styles will be used during development to make the table easier to read as development progresses but should not be considered a production ready style.
-
The datatable will be model driven more than template driven; allowing for the datatable to be described programatically as much as possible.
-
The data table must stay relatively performant. The goal isn't to have the absolute fastest table but one that takes performance into account throughout the development process so that the datatable stays usable as features are added.
-
Make internal behavior of the datatable operate through rxjs streams as much possible. This should both keep performance relatively high and reduce potential behavior bugs.
