Learn MVC Using Angular Datatable

Introduction

In this article, we will learn MVC, using AngularJS data binding to the datatable from the Server side with the stored procedure, using Visual Studio 2015

Why use Angular Datatable?

Datatable is the most powerful table. It is best to load a large amount of data. The table is designed to be extremely flexible and lightweight.

Some main features are given below.

• Column Reordering.
• Column Resizing.
• Handle Large Data.
• Client Side & Server Side Pagination/Sorting.
• Fixed And Fluid Height.

In this article, we are going to

• Create a database.
• Create a stored procedure.
• Create MVC Application.
• Using Angular Datatable.

Create a database

Open SQL Server 2016. Click New Query Window & run the query given below. 

USE [master]
GO
/****** Object:  Database [test]    Script Date: 5/7/2017 8:09:18 AM ******/
CREATE DATABASE [test]
 CONTAINMENT = NONE
 ON  PRIMARY
( NAME = N'test', FILENAME = N'C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL13.MSSQLSERVER\MSSQL\DATA\test.mdf' , SIZE = 8192KB , MAXSIZE = UNLIMITED, FILEGROWTH = 65536KB ),
 FILEGROUP [DocFiles] CONTAINS FILESTREAM  DEFAULT
( NAME = N'FileStream', FILENAME = N'C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL13.MSSQLSERVER\MSSQL\DATA\FileStream' , MAXSIZE = UNLIMITED)
 LOG ON
( NAME = N'test_log', FILENAME = N'C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL13.MSSQLSERVER\MSSQL\DATA\test_log.ldf' , SIZE = 8192KB , MAXSIZE = 2048GB , FILEGROWTH = 65536KB )
GO
ALTER DATABASE [test] SET COMPATIBILITY_LEVEL = 130
GO
IF (1 = FULLTEXTSERVICEPROPERTY('IsFullTextInstalled'))
begin
EXEC [test].[dbo].[sp_fulltext_database] @action = 'enable'
end
GO
ALTER DATABASE [test] SET ANSI_NULL_DEFAULT OFF
GO
ALTER DATABASE [test] SET ANSI_NULLS OFF
GO
ALTER DATABASE [test] SET ANSI_PADDING OFF

GO
ALTER DATABASE [test] SET FILESTREAM( NON_TRANSACTED_ACCESS = FULL, DIRECTORY_NAME = N'DocFileDirctory' )
GO
ALTER DATABASE [test] SET TARGET_RECOVERY_TIME = 60 SECONDS
GO
ALTER DATABASE [test] SET DELAYED_DURABILITY = DISABLED
GO
EXEC sys.sp_db_vardecimal_storage_format N'test', N'ON'
GO
ALTER DATABASE [test] SET QUERY_STORE = OFF
GO

Create a table

I will create a new table, which is based on the book information. 

CREATE TABLE [dbo].[BookMaster](
    [BookCode] [varchar](10) NULL,
    [BookName] [varchar](50) NULL,
    [BookDesc] [varchar](500) NULL,
    [BookAuthor] [varchar](50) NULL
) ON [PRIMARY]
GO

After creating the table, add some data given below.

Create a stored procedure

I have written the stored procedure for my data operations, so run SP given below. In this procedure, I have done Select, Insert, Update & Delete. 

Create PROCEDURE [dbo].[BookMaster_SP]
@BookCode   VARCHAR(10)=NULL,
@BookName   VARCHAR(50)=NULL,
@BookDesc   VARCHAR(500)=NUL,
@BookAutor  VARCHAR(500)=NULL,
@Mode       VARCHAR(50)
AS
BEGIN
    SET NOCOUNT ON;

    IF (@Mode='ADD')
    BEGIN
        INSERT INTO BookMaster(BookCode,BookName,BookDesc,BookAuthor)
            VALUES(@BookCode,@BookName,@BookDesc,@BookAutor)
    END

    IF (@Mode='EDIT')
    BEGIN
        UPDATE BookMaster SET BookName=@BookName,BookDesc=@BookDesc,BookAuthor=@BookAutor WHERE BookCode=@BookCode

    END

    IF (@Mode='DELETE')
    BEGIN
        DELETE FROM BookMaster WHERE BookCode=@BookCode

    END

    IF (@Mode='GET')
    BEGIN
        SELECT BookCode,BookName,BookDesc,BookAuthor FROM BookMaster

    END

    IF (@Mode='GETID')
    BEGIN
        SELECT BookCode,BookName,BookDesc,BookAuthor FROM BookMaster WHERE BookCode=@BookCode

    END

    SET NOCOUNT OFF;
END

Create MVC Application

Open Visual Studio 2015, go to Menu New->New project ->select Visual C# under templates-> Choose ASP.NET Web Application.

Once you click OK button, one more Window opens. Select MVC.

After creating the project, click the link given below and you can download the plug in files.

• Angular-Datatable v0.5
• Datatable

Subsequently, inject datatable key word in Angular modular.

angular.module('uiroute',['ui.router', 'datatables']);

Create & design HTML page with the table. Mention datatable=ng. Now, bind the Server data.  

<table datatable="ng" class="table-responsive table-bordered table-striped ">

            <thead style="background-color:#428bca;color:white" >
                <tr>
                    <td >
                        Book Code
                    </td>
                    <td >
                        Book Name
                    </td>
                    <td >
                        Book Description
                    </td>
                    <td>
                        Book Author Name
                    </td>
                    <td>
                        <span class="glyphicon glyphicon-edit"></span>
                    </td>
                    <td>
                        <span class="glyphicon glyphicon-trash"></span>
                    </td>
                </tr>
            </thead>

            <tbody>
                <tr ng-repeat="model in LoadData">

                    <td >{{ model.BookCode }}</td>
                    <td >{{ model.BookName }}</td>
                    <td>{{ model.BookDesc }}</td>
                    <td>{{ model.BookAuthor }}</td>
                    <td><span class="glyphicon glyphicon-edit" ng-click="LoadById(model)"></span></td>
                    <td><span class="glyphicon glyphicon-trash" ng-click="DaleteById(model)"></span></td>
                </tr>
            </tbody>

        </table>

Using Angular Datatable

Create Model folder in Solution Explorer & create new class in Model folder. 

public class BookModel
    {
        public string BookCode { get; set; }
        public string BookName { get; set; }
        public string BookDesc{ get; set; }
        public string BookAuthor { get; set; }
        public string Mode { get; set; }
    }

Write the method given below in home controller. LoadData displays the data in the Datatable & another one is using data manipulation. 

[HttpPost]

        #region LoadData
        public JsonResult LoadData(BookModel Param)
        {
            List<BookModel> BookList = new List<BookModel>();
            using (var con = new SqlConnection(ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings["DbSqlCon"].ConnectionString))
            {
                var cmd = new SqlCommand("BookMaster_SP", con);
                cmd.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure;
                cmd.Parameters.Add(new SqlParameter("@Mode", SqlDbType.VarChar)).Value = Param.Mode;
                cmd.Parameters.Add(new SqlParameter("@BookCode", SqlDbType.VarChar)).Value = Param.BookCode;
                try
                {
                   con.Open();
                    using (SqlDataReader DbReader = cmd.ExecuteReader())
                        if (DbReader.HasRows)
                        {
                            while (DbReader.Read())
                            {
                                BookModel Books = new BookModel();
                                Books.BookCode = DbReader.GetString(DbReader.GetOrdinal("BookCode"));
                                Books.BookName = DbReader.GetString(DbReader.GetOrdinal("BookName"));
                                Books.BookDesc = DbReader.GetString(DbReader.GetOrdinal("BookDesc"));
                                Books.BookAuthor = DbReader.GetString(DbReader.GetOrdinal("BookAuthor"));
                                BookList.Add(Books);
                            }
                        }
                    return Json(BookList, JsonRequestBehavior.AllowGet);
                }
                finally
                {
                        con.Close();
                }
            }
        }
        #endregion

        [HttpPost]
        #region EditData
        public string EditData(BookModel Param)
        {
            if (Param != null)
            {
                using (var con = new SqlConnection(ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings["DbSqlCon"].ConnectionString))

Declare the connection string in Web.config file. 

<connectionStrings>
    <add name="DbSqlCon" connectionString="Data Source=xxxx; Initial Catalog=test; User Id=sa; Password=XXX; connect timeout=0;" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient;" />
  </connectionStrings>

Create an Angular Controller & Service to get the data from the Server side.

Controller 

$scope.LoadById = function (model)
    {
        $scope.Ed = model;
        $scope.Datamode = 'Update';
        $scope.Enable = true;
    }

    $scope.Save = function ()
    {
        if ($scope.Datamode === 'Update')
        {
            var Param = {
                Mode: 'EDIT',
                BookCode: $scope.Ed.BookCode,
                BookName: $scope.Ed.BookName,
                BookDesc: $scope.Ed.BookDesc,
                BookAuthor: $scope.Ed.BookAuthor
            }
        }

        else
        {
            var Param = {
                Mode: 'ADD',
                BookCode: $scope.Ed.BookCode,
                BookName: $scope.Ed.BookName,
                BookDesc: $scope.Ed.BookDesc,
                BookAuthor: $scope.Ed.BookAuthor
            }
        }
        var ServiceData = BookService.EditData(Param);
        ServiceData.then(function (result) {
            $scope.loadTable()
            $scope.Ed = '';
            $scope.message = "Data Save Successfully";
        }, function () {

        });
    }

    $scope.DaleteById = function (model) {
        var Param = {
            Mode: 'DELETE',
            BookCode: model.BookCode,
        }
        var ServiceData = BookService.EditData(Param);
        ServiceData.then(function (result) {
            $scope.loadTable()
            $scope.Ed = '';
            $scope.message = "Data Delete Successfully";
        }, function () {

        });

Service 

this.loadGrid = function (Param) {
        var response = $http({
            method: "post",
            url: "Home/LoadData",
            data: JSON.stringify(Param),
            dataType: "json"
        });
        return response;
    }

    this.EditData = function (Param) {
        var response = $http({
            method: "post",
            url: "Home/EditData",
            data: JSON.stringify(Param),
            dataType: "json"
        });
        return response;
    }

Do not forget to refer the plug in files and JS file also.

Plug In 

<link href="~/Plugin/datatables/media/css/jquery.dataTables.min.css" rel="stylesheet" />
<script src="~/Plugin/datatables/media/js/jquery.dataTables.js"></script>
<script src="~/Plugin/angular-datatables/dist/angular-datatables.js"></script>

My Files 

<script src="~/App/App.module.js"></script>
<script src="~/App/App.config.js"></script>
<script src="~/App/BookController.js"></script>

Once you are done with the process given above, your datatable is ready to load. Thus, run the Application.

Output

Here, I have done simple data manipulation method.
