Nested table does not work


Topic: Nested table does not work

ammi pro asked 5 months ago

I am trying to display nested table. However it displays child table as another column in main table. What am I doing wrong?

<table class="table">
    <thead>
        <tr>
            <th class="fw-bold" scope="col">Report Type</th>
            <th class="fw-bold" scope="col">Year</th>
            <th class="fw-bold" scope="col">Quarter</th>
            <th class="fw-bold" scope="col">Reported Date</th>
        </tr>
    </thead>
    <tbody>
        <tr *ngFor="let t of table.data; let i = index" scope="row">
            <td>{{t.reportTypeDesc}}</td>
            <td>{{t.year}}</td>
            <td>{{t.quarter}}</td>
            <td>{{t.reportedDate}}</td>
            <td colspan="4">
                <table class="table mb-0">
                    <tr>
                        <td>
                            <span *ngFor="let s of t.statements; let si=index">
                                <i class="far fa-file-pdf document-icon-pdf" aria-hidden="true" title="{{s.documentName}}" (click)="$event.stopPropagation()"></i>
                            </span>
                        </td>
                    </tr>
                </table>
            </td>
        </tr>
    </tbody>
</table>

What is the purpose of nesting a table inside another table? I don't think we support such styling. Do you have some specific reason to structure your html in such a way? You could propably get away with using flexbox or css grid to place items in appropirate table cells.

you have example for Nesting, but it is not completed probably.

https://mdbootstrap.com/docs/angular/data/tables/

I have long line in last column of the row, so I want to display it as a footer for the row.


Please have a look at this structure. I've added a <tfoot> element for footer. Let me know if you can accomodate this example for your needs:

<table class="table table-striped table-bordered">
  <thead>
    <tr>
      <th class="fw-bold" scope="col">Report Type</th>
      <th class="fw-bold" scope="col">Year</th>
      <th class="fw-bold" scope="col">Quarter</th>
      <th class="fw-bold" scope="col">Reported Date</th>
    </tr>
  </thead>
  <tbody>
    <tr>
      <th scope="row">1</th>
      <td>Mark</td>
      <td>Otto</td>
      <td>mdo</td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
      <td colspan="4">
        <table class="table mb-0">
          <thead>
            <tr>
              <th scope="col">Header</th>
              <th scope="col">Header</th>
              <th scope="col">Header</th>
            </tr>
          </thead>
          <tbody>
            <tr>
              <th scope="row">A</th>
              <td>First</td>
              <td>Last</td>
            </tr>
            <tr>
              <th scope="row">B</th>
              <td>First</td>
              <td>Last</td>
            </tr>
            <tr>
              <th scope="row">C</th>
              <td>First</td>
              <td>Last</td>
            </tr>
          </tbody>
          <tfoot>
            <tr>
              <td colspan="3">Nested table footer content</td>
            </tr>
          </tfoot>
        </table>
      </td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
      <th scope="row">3</th>
      <td>Larry</td>
      <td>the Bird</td>
      <td>twitter</td>
    </tr>
  </tbody>
  <tfoot>
    <tr>
      <td colspan="4">
        Long Row Lorem ipsum dolor sit, amet consectetur adipisicing elit. Autem quisquam,
        consequuntur, necessitatibus nesciunt ut recusandae, non similique dolor hic porro iusto
        repellat sed sit reprehenderit enim culpa maiores accusantium repudiandae illum distinctio
        nemo eos. Nemo, velit obcaecati! Itaque dicta eos quam placeat ipsam inventore, repellendus

      </td>
    </tr>
  </tfoot>
</table>
