Creating a Table in Ionic

Creating a Table in Ionic

I am in need of creating a table in Ionic. I thought of using Ionic grid but could not achieve what I wanted. How can I do this? Here is an image of something similar to what i want:

I can use this but how can I divide the rows like in the picture?

<div class="list">

  <div class="item item-divider">
    Candy Bars
  </div>

  <a class="item" href="#">
    Butterfinger
  </a>

  ...

</div>

The flexbox grid should do what you want. You're not clear as to what limitation you ran into, so it's hard to address your specifics.

Here's a codepen with a working sample that generates your table with the first couple rows and a header:

HTML

<html ng-app="ionicApp">

<head>
    <meta charset="utf-8">
    <meta name="viewport" content="initial-scale=1, maximum-scale=1, user-scalable=no, width=device-width">

    <title>Ionic Template</title>

    <link href="//" rel="stylesheet">
    <script src="//"></script>
 </head>

  <body ng-controller="MyCtrl as ctrl">
    <ion-header-bar class="bar-stable">
        <h1 class="title">Service Provider Details</h1>
    </ion-header-bar>
    <ion-content>
        <div class="row header">
          <div class="col">Utility Company Name</div>
          <div class="col">Service Code</div>
          <div class="col">Pay Limit</div>
          <div class="col">Account Number to Use</div>
          <div class="col"></div>
        </div>
        <div class="row" ng-repeat="data in ctrl.data">
          <div class="col">{{data.name}}</div>
          <div class="col">{{data.code}}</div>
          <div class="col">LK {{data.limit}}</div>
          <div class="col">{{data.account}}</div>
          <div class="col"><button class="button" ng-click="ctrl.add($index)">Add</button></div>
        </div>
    </ion-content>
  </body>

</html>

CSS

body {
    cursor: url('), auto;
}

.header .col {
    background-color:lightgrey;
}

.col {
    border: solid 1px grey;
    border-bottom-style: none;
    border-right-style: none;
}

.col:last-child {
    border-right: solid 1px grey;
}

.row:last-child .col {
    border-bottom: solid 1px grey;
}

Javascript

angular.module('ionicApp', ['ionic'])

.controller('MyCtrl', function($scope) {

    var ctrl = this;

    ctrl.add = add;
    ctrl.data = [
        {
            name: "AiA",
            code: "AI101",
            limit: 25000,
            account: "Life Insurance"
        },
        {
            name: "Cargills",
            code: "CF001",
            limit: 30000,
            account: "Food City"
        }
    ]

    ////////
    function add(index) {
        window.alert("Added: " + index);
    }
});

This should probably be a comment, however, I don't have enough reputation to comment.

I suggest you really use the table (HTML) instead of ion-row and ion-col. Things will not look nice when one of the cell's content is too long.

One worse case looks like this:

| 10 | 20 | 30 | 40 |
| 1 | 2 | 3100 | 41 |

Simply, for me, I used ion-row and ion-col to achieve it. You can make it more neater by doing some changes by CSS.

<ion-row style="border-bottom: groove;">
      <ion-col col-4>
      <ion-label >header</ion-label>
    </ion-col>
    <ion-col col-4>
      <ion-label >header</ion-label>
    </ion-col>
      <ion-col col-4>
      <ion-label >header</ion-label>
    </ion-col>
  </ion-row>
  <ion-row style="border-bottom: groove;">
      <ion-col col-4>
      <ion-label >row</ion-label>
    </ion-col>
    <ion-col col-4>
      <ion-label >02/02/2018</ion-label>
    </ion-col>
      <ion-col col-4>
      <ion-label >row</ion-label>
    </ion-col>
  </ion-row>
  <ion-row style="border-bottom: groove;">
      <ion-col col-4>
      <ion-label >row</ion-label>
    </ion-col>
    <ion-col col-4>
      <ion-label >02/02/2018</ion-label>
    </ion-col>
      <ion-col col-4>
      <ion-label >row</ion-label>
    </ion-col>
  </ion-row>
  <ion-row >
      <ion-col col-4>
      <ion-label >row</ion-label>
    </ion-col>
    <ion-col col-4>
      <ion-label >02/02/2018</ion-label>
    </ion-col>
      <ion-col col-4>
      <ion-label >row</ion-label>
    </ion-col>
  </ion-row>

This is the way i use it. It's very simple and work very well.. Ionic html:

  <ion-content>
 

  <ion-grid class="ion-text-center">

    <ion-row class="ion-margin">
      <ion-col>
        <ion-title>
          <ion-text color="default">
            Your title remove if don't want use
          </ion-text>
        </ion-title>
      </ion-col>
    </ion-row>

    <ion-row class="header-row">
      <ion-col>
        <ion-text>Data</ion-text>
      </ion-col>

      <ion-col>
        <ion-text>Cliente</ion-text>
      </ion-col>

      <ion-col>
        <ion-text>Pagamento</ion-text>
      </ion-col>
    </ion-row>


    <ion-row>
      <ion-col>
        <ion-text>
            19/10/2020
        </ion-text>
      </ion-col>

        <ion-col>
          <ion-text>
            Nome
          </ion-text>
        </ion-col>
  
        <ion-col>
          <ion-text>
            R$ 200
          </ion-text>
        </ion-col>
    </ion-row>

  </ion-grid>
</ion-content>

CSS:

.header-row {
  background: #7163AA;
  color: #fff;
  font-size: 18px;
}

ion-col {
  border: 1px solid #ECEEEF;
}

Result of the code

the issue of too long content @beenotung can be resolved by this css class :

.col{
  max-width :20% !important;
}

You should consider using an angular plug-in to handle the heavy lifting for you, unless you particularly enjoy typing hundreds of lines of knarly error prone ion-grid code. Simon Grimm has a cracking step by step tutorial that anyone can follow: . This shows how to use ngx-datatable. But there are many other options (ng2-table is good).

The dead simple example goes like this:

<ion-content>
  <ngx-datatable class="fullscreen" [ngClass]="tablestyle" [rows]="rows" [columnMode]="'force'" [sortType]="'multi'" [reorderable]="false">
    <ngx-datatable-column name="Name"></ngx-datatable-column>
    <ngx-datatable-column name="Gender"></ngx-datatable-column>
    <ngx-datatable-column name="Age"></ngx-datatable-column>
  </ngx-datatable>
</ion-content>

And the ts:

rows = [
    {
      "name": "Ethel Price",
      "gender": "female",
      "age": 22
    },
    {
      "name": "Claudine Neal",
      "gender": "female",
      "age": 55
    },
    {
      "name": "Beryl Rice",
      "gender": "female",
      "age": 67
    },
    {
      "name": "Simon Grimm",
      "gender": "male",
      "age": 28
    }
  ];

Since the original poster expressed their frustration of how difficult it is to achieve this with ion-grid, I think the correct answer should not be constrained by this as a prerequisite. You would be nuts to roll your own, given how good this is!

In Ionic 2 there's a easier way to do that. See the Ionic Docs.

It is more or less like the following:

<ion-grid>
  <ion-row>
    <ion-col>
      1 of 3
    </ion-col>
    <ion-col>
      2 of 3
    </ion-col>
    <ion-col>
      3 of 3
    </ion-col>
  </ion-row>
</ion-grid>

.html file

<ion-card-content>
<div class='summary_row'>
      <div  class='summarycell'>Header 1</div>
