Topic: Nested table does not work

ammi pro asked 1 month 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.

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

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