with Custom Locales

Description

Most of example that you will find across this library were made with ngx-translate (dynamic translation) support. However a few users of the lib only use 1 locale (English or any other locale). Since not all users requires multiple translations, as of version 2.13.0, it is now possible to use Angular-Slickgrid without ngx-translate. What is the difference with/without ngx-translate? Not much, the only difference is that ngx-translate is now an optional dependency (thanks to Angular @Optional Dependency, via @Optional() TranslateService), so if you don't provide ngx-translate, it will simply try to use Custom Locales, you can provide your own locales (see instruction below), or if none are provided it will use English locales by default.

Code Sample

Demo Component

Installation

There are 2 ways of using and defining Custom Locales, see below on how to achieve that.

1. Define your Custom Locales

English Locale

English is the default, if that is the locale you want to use then there's nothing to do, move along...

Any other Locales (not English)

To use any other Locales, you will need to create a TypeScript file of all the Locale Texts required for the library to work properly (if you forget to define a locale text, it will simply show up in English). For example, if we define a French Locale, it would look like this (for the complete list of required field take a look at the default English Locale)

// localeFrench.ts or fr.ts
export const localeFrench = {
  // texte requis
  TEXT_ALL_SELECTED: 'Tout sélectionnés',
  TEXT_CANCEL: 'Annuler',
  TEXT_CLEAR_ALL_FILTERS: 'Supprimer tous les filtres',
  TEXT_CLEAR_ALL_SORTING: 'Supprimer tous les tris',
  // ... the rest of the text

2. Use the Custom Locales

Through the forRoot() (globally)

This will literally configure Custom Locales for the entire project, so if you want to do it once, that is the place to do it.

// app.module.ts
@NgModule({
  imports: [
    AngularSlickgridModule.forRoot({
      // add any Global Grid Options/Config you might want

      // Provide a custom locales set
      locales: localeFrench,
    })
  ]
});

Through the Grid Option of any grid

You can alternatively provide Custom Locales through any grid declaration through the locales Grid Options (it's the same as the global one, except that it's per grid)

import { localeFrench } from 'locales/fr';

export class MyGridComponent {
  prepareGrid() {
    this.columnDefinitions = [ /* ... */ ];

    this.gridOptions = {
      enableAutoResize: true,

      // provide Custom Locale to this grid only
      locales: localeFrench
    };
  }
}

3. Use the lib (without ngx-translate)

There's nothing else to do, just use the library without defining or providing TranslateService and you're good to go. Read through the Wiki of the Quick Start for basic grid samples.
