How to display records while omitting repetitive fields in AngularJS
Posted on 2016-10-25
I have the following record I am retrieving from Web API:
The content is something like this:
I am displaying it withi my AngularJS application as follows:
This way the first 3 fields are repeating for each record with the same record ID. I was wondering if I can somehow only display RecordID, RecordDate, and Person Name in a row if it is not repeating.
For example:
How can I accomplish that with Angular?
FullRecord
_______
RecordID
RecordDate
PersonName
RecordNote
LineOrder
The content is something like this:
RecordID RecordDate PersonName RecordNote LineOrder
1 10/25/2016 John Doe test1 1
1 10/25/2016 John Doe test2 2
1 10/25/2016 John Doe test3 3
2 10/25/2016 Jane Doe testing23 1
2 10/25/2016 Jane Does testing27 2
I am displaying it withi my AngularJS application as follows:
<tbody>
<tr ng-repeat="Record in Records">
<td>{{Record.RecordID}}</td>
<td>{{Record.RecordDate}}</td>
<td>{{Record.PersonName}}</td>
<td>{{Record.RecordNote}}</td>
<td>{{Record.LineOrder}}</td>
</tr>
</tbody>

Well you want the same number of records as before but the fields RecordId, RecordDate and personName to be surpressed, so the best way would be to construct a Javascript array of objects where the objects have the relevant fields missing. Presumably if you are loading via a service then either add the function to the service or create the array in scope after calling the service. The Javascript is straightforward - one looks at the previous array entry to see if the RecordId is the same or not.
The only other problem is that the table cells would refer to a missing object field. So the best way would be to create, in the new array, the fields with a blank or a non-breaking space so that the table gets rendered properly.
