SpreadJS with Angular CLI

SpreadJS supports using individual module and plugin together in Angular CLI development environment.

Using Module and Plugin together

This involves the following steps:

1. Install the Angular CLI globally

   Open the Command Prompt window and type the following command.

   npm install -g @angular/cli

2. Create a new project using Angular CLI

   Create a new project using the following command and navigate to the project directory:

   ng new my-app
   cd my-app

3. Install SpreadJS modules and plugins in the project

   Install the SpreadJS NPM modules and plugins using the following commands:

   npm install @grapecity/spread-common @grapecity/spread-calc-engine @grapecity/spread-sheets-core @grapecity/spread-sheets-calc-engine @grapecity/spread-sheets-print @grapecity/spread-sheets-angular

4. Configure SpreadJS CSS in angular.json

   Configure the SpreadJS CSS in angular.json as shown below:

   {  
       "$schema": "./node_modules/@angular/cli/lib/config/schema.json",  
       "version": 1,  
       "newProjectRoot": "projects", 
       "projects": {    
           "my-app": {      "projectType": "application",   
           "schematics": {},      
           "root": "",

                     }
                }  
         }
   }

5. Use SpreadJS in an Angular application

   Modify the app.module.ts for importing the module as shown below:

   import { NgModule } from '@angular/core';
   import { BrowserModule } from '@angular/platform-browser';
   import { AppComponent } from './app.component';
   import { SpreadSheetsModule } from '@grapecity/spread-sheets-angular';
   @NgModule({  
       declarations: [   
            AppComponent  
   ],  
   imports: [    
       BrowserModule,    
       SpreadSheetsModule  
   ],  
   providers: [],  b
   ootstrap: [AppComponent]})
   export class AppModule { }

   Modify the app.component.html for viewing the SpreadJS component as shown below:

   <gc-spread-sheets [hostStyle]="hostStyle" 
   (workbookInitialized)="initSpread($event)">
   </gc-spread-sheets>

   Modify the app.component.ts for preparing data for the SpreadJS component as shown below:

   import { Component } from '@angular/core';i
   import * as GC from "@grapecity/spread-common";
   import "@grapecity/spread-calc-engine";
   import "@grapecity/spread-sheets-core";
   import "@grapecity/spread-sheets-calc-engine";
   import "@grapecity/spread-sheets-print"; 
   @Component({  
       selector: 'app-root',  
       templateUrl: './app.component.html',  
       styleUrls: ['./app.component.css']
   })
   export class AppComponent { 
       hostStyle = {    
           width: '100%',    
           height: '600px',    
           overflow: 'hidden',    
           float: 'left'  
   };  
           initSpread($event: any) {    
               let spread: GC.Spread.Sheets.Workbook = $event.spread;    
               let sheet = spread.getActiveSheet();    
               sheet.setValue(0, 0, "Hello SpreadJS");    
               spread.print();  
       }
   }

   Modify the tsconfig.json for adding paths for compilerOptions as shown below:

   {  
   "compileOnSave": false,  
   "compilerOptions": {    
       "baseUrl": "./",    
       "outDir": "./dist/out-tsc",    
       "forceConsistentCasingInFileNames": true,    
       "strict": true,    
       "noImplicitOverride": true,    
       "noPropertyAccessFromIndexSignature": true,   
       "noImplicitReturns": true,    
       "noFallthroughCasesInSwitch": true,    
       "sourceMap": true,    
       "declaration": false,    
       "downlevelIteration": true,    
       "experimentalDecorators": true,    
       "moduleResolution": "node",    
       "importHelpers": true,    
       "target": "ES2022",    
       "module": "ES2022",   
       "useDefineForClassFields": false,    
       "lib": [      
           "ES2022",      
           "dom"   
       ],    
       "paths": {     
            "@grapecity/spread-sheets": [ "node_modules/@grapecity/spread-common" ]   
    }  
   },  
   "angularCompilerOptions": {    
       "enableI18nLegacyMessageIdFormat": false,    
       "strictInjectionParameters": true,    
       "strictInputAccessModifiers": true,    
       "strictTemplates": true  
   }
   }

6. Build and run the project using Angular CLI

   Build and run the project using the following command:

   npm start
