Getting started

1. Install odata-data-source:

npm install --save odata-data-source @angular/cdk odata-query

2. Import http client module:

import { NgModule } from '@angular/core';
import { BrowserModule } from '@angular/platform-browser';
import { HttpClientModule } from '@angular/common/http';

import { AppComponent } from './app';

@NgModule({
  ...
  imports: [
    ...

    HttpClientModule
  ],
})
export class AppModule {}

4. Initialize ODataDataSource in your component with http client and resource path:

import { HttpClient } from '@angular/common/http';

constructor(private readonly httpClient: HttpClient) {}

@Component({
  selector: 'app',
  templateUrl: './app.component.html',
})
export class AppComponent {

  const resourcePath = 'https://services.odata.org/V4/OData/OData.svc/Products';
  this.dataSource = new ODataDataSource(this.httpClient, resourcePath);

}

5. Use the data source for material or cdk table with column templates matching data

<table cdk-table [dataSource]="dataSource">
    ...
</table>

ODataFilter
