Angular Data GridOverlay Component

Overlay components allow you to add your own overlays to AG Grid. Use these when the provided overlays do not meet your requirements.

Simple Loading Overlay Component

Below is a example of loading overlay class with a custom loadingMessage param:

import {Component} from '@angular/core';
import {ILoadingOverlayParams} from "ag-grid-community";
import {ILoadingOverlayAngularComp} from "ag-grid-angular";

@Component({
   selector: 'app-loading-overlay',
   template: `
     <div class="ag-overlay-loading-center" style="background-color: lightsteelblue;">
       <i class="fas fa-hourglass-half">{{ params.loadingMessage }} </i> </div>`
})
export class CustomLoadingOverlay implements ILoadingOverlayAngularComp {
   public params: ILoadingOverlayParams & { loadingMessage: string};

   agInit(params: ILoadingOverlayParams & { loadingMessage: string}): void {
       this.params = params;
   }
}

const gridOptions: GridOptions = {
 ...
 loadingOverlayComponent: CustomLoadingOverlay,
 loadingOverlayComponentParams: {
   loadingMessage: 'One moment please...',
 },
}

Simple No-Rows Overlay Component

Below is an example of no rows overlay class with custom noRowsMessageFunc() param:

import {Component} from '@angular/core';
import {INoRowsOverlayParams} from "ag-grid-community";
import {INoRowsOverlayAngularComp} from "ag-grid-angular";

@Component({
   selector: 'app-no-rows-overlay',
   template: `
     <div class="ag-overlay-loading-center" style="background-color: lightcoral;">
       <i class="far fa-frown"> {{ params.noRowsMessageFunc() }} </i> </div>`
})
export class CustomNoRowsOverlay implements INoRowsOverlayAngularComp {
   public params: INoRowsOverlayParams & { noRowsMessageFunc: () => string};

   agInit(params: INoRowsOverlayParams & { noRowsMessageFunc: () => string}): void {
       this.params = params;
   }
}

const gridOptions: GridOptions = {
 ...
 noRowsOverlayComponent: CustomNoRowsOverlay,
 noRowsOverlayComponentParams: {
   noRowsMessageFunc: () => 'Sorry - no rows! at: ' + new Date(),
 },
}

Example: Custom Overlay Components

The example below demonstrates how to provide custom overlay components to the grid. Notice the following:

  • Custom Loading Overlay Renderer is supplied by name via gridOptions.loadingOverlayComponent.
  • Custom Loading Overlay Renderer Parameters are supplied using gridOptions loadingOverlayComponentParams.
  • Custom No Rows Overlay Renderer is supplied by name via gridOptions.noRowsOverlayComponent.
  • Custom No Rows Overlay Renderer Parameters are supplied using gridOptions.noRowsOverlayComponentParams.

Overlay Components Interfaces

Loading Overlay

Implement this interface to provide a custom overlay when data is being loaded.

interface extends ILoadingOverlayAngularComp {
  // The agInit(params) method is called on the overlay once.
  agInit(params: ILoadingOverlayParams);
}

No Rows Overlay

Implement this interface to provide a custom overlay when no rows loaded.

interface extends INowRowsOverlayAngularComp {
  // The agInit(params) method is called on the overlay once.
  agInit(params: INoRowsOverlayParams);
}

The agInit(params) method takes a params object with the items listed below:

ILoadingOverlayParams
