Nesting *ngfor. I need to populate subtasks under the parent task in Angular.io


stackblitz: https://stackblitz.com/edit/angular-xk9nw6?file=src%2Fapp%2Ftable%2Ftable.component.html

I have a json file with tasks that have a property of subtasks that have the same properties types as their parent tasks. when a parent task is clicked, the child subtasks need to be appended to the bottom of their parent. I'm trying to make a custom tree-grid without using these rigid libraries

You can see in my stackblitz that the subtasks are being populated under the all the parent tasks and not just the parent task they belong to. if I move the it inside the parent *ngfor, my subtask will be appended to the bottom of every parent task and not just the parent task it belongs to.

Bonus points for figuring out why subtasks.taskName won't show, while subtasks.taskID does.(Bonus solved by Julien Bertacco). thanks, bud.

my code so far:

    console.log(e);

    this.subtaskArray = e.subtasks
    this.index = e.taskID;
    this.foo == false ? this.foo = true : this.foo = false;


  }

  ngOnInit(): void {
    this.data = sampleData;
}
}

Solution

  • For populate subtasks under the parent task you need to loop this way

    <tbody *ngFor="let datum of data; index as i">
      <tr>
          <td class="" (click)="subtask(datum, i); $event.stopPropagation()" >> </td>
          <td class="">{{datum.taskID}}</td>
          <td class="">{{datum.taskName}}</td>
          <td class="btn btn.primary" (click)="dropdown(datum)">...</td>
      </tr>
      <tr [hidden]="index != i" *ngFor="let subtask of datum.subtasks" >
          <td class="">> </td>
          <td class="">{{subtask?.taskID}}</td>
          <td class="">{{subtask?.taskName}}</td>
          <td class=" btn btn.primary" (click)="dropdown(subtask)">...</td>
      </tr>
    </tbody> 
    

    And change your table.component.ts file subtask function by

    subtask(e,i){    
       this.subtaskArray = e.subtasks
       this.index = i;
       this.foo == false ? this.foo = true : this.foo = false;    
    }
