In my last article “Introduction to AngularJS”, we learned the basics of AngularJS. Now I want to do an exercise on AngularJS. In this I am trying to build an application that has table population data from JSON. There should be three cascading dropdowns to filter the data in the table. The user should also be able to sort the table.
![]()
![]()
controller.js
- angular.module('tableApp', [])
- .controller('tableCtrl', ['$scope', '$http', '$timeout',function($scope, $http)
- {
- $http.get('tableData/practionerData.json').success(function(data)
- {
- $scope.practionerData = data;
- }
- );
- $http.get('tableData/practionerType.json').success(function(practionerdata)
- {
- $scope.practionerType = practionerdata;
- }
- );
- $http.get('tableData/practionersByType.json').success(function(practionersByType)
- {
- $scope.practionersByType = practionersByType;
- }
- );
- $http.get('tableData/OrganizationByPractioners.json').success(function(OrganizationByPractioners)
- {
- $scope.OrganizationByPractioners = OrganizationByPractioners;
- }
- );
- }
- ])
Here we are populating the data in $scope using the JSON file. We can do it with the web service also. We can also post the scope data to the server with the web service.

- </tr>
- <tr ng-repeat="practitioner in practitionerData | orderBy:predicate:reverse| filter: {practitionerType:searchObj.practitionerType,practitioner_master_id:searchObj.practitioner_master_id,organizationName:searchObj.organizationName}">
-
- <td ng-class-odd="'odd'" ng-class-even="'even'"> {{practitioner.practitionerType}}</td>
- <td ng-class-odd="'odd'" ng-class-even="'even'"> {{practitioner.practitioner_name}}</td>
- <td ng-class-odd="'odd'" ng-class-even="'even'"> {{practitioner.organizationName}}</td>
- </tr>

- </table>
- </div>
- </body>
Here we are populating the dropdown and table with scope data. Note the <select> tag and we are cascading the dropdowns using “filter” in “ng-options”. “ng-disabled” is used to keep the child dropdown disabled until the parent dropdown has the value.
