Dynamically Change Bootstrap Columns and Rows in Angular with TypeScript

In web development, a common requirement is to dynamically adjust the layout of a webpage based on the content available. In this guide, we will tackle a specific problem: how to change the number of bootstrap columns based on a sorted array of movie genres. We'll show you how to create a responsive layout using Angular and TypeScript, enabling an optimal viewing experience regardless of the content size.

The Problem

Imagine having a list of movies, each belonging to a specific genre—Action, Comedy, and Horror. Depending on the genre, you want to adjust how many columns each genre takes up in a bootstrap grid.

Comedy movies should span two rows.

Action movies should fit into three columns in a single row.

Horror movies should take up just one row with individual spacing.

Achieving this requires a solid understanding of Angular's structural directives and the Bootstrap grid system.

The Solution

In order to implement this, we need to perform a series of clear steps. Let’s break it down.

1. Define Your Movie Data

Firstly, you need an array of movies. Each movie should have a title and a genre. Here’s how you can define that in your TypeScript component:

2. Create an Array of Genres

To organize the movies based on their genre, we define an array of genres. You can either hardcode the genres or dynamically retrieve them from the movies array:

3. Loop Through Genres and Movies

In your Angular template, you can use the ngFor directive to loop over the genres and then the movies. Importantly, we will use conditional classes to determine the size of the columns in Bootstrap:

Breakdown of the Template Code

ngFor directive: Loops through each genre and each movie, creating a new row for each genre.

ngIf directive: Ensures that the movies are only displayed if their genre matches the current genre being iterated over in the loop.

ngClass directive: Applies the Bootstrap column sizes dynamically. Here, comedies will take up col-3 (four columns), while actions will take col-6 (two columns).

Key Takeaways

Using ngFor alongside ngIf allows for flexible rendering of components based on their state.

The ngClass directive provides a simple way to apply different Bootstrap classes depending on conditions, ensuring the layout is responsive and visually appealing.

Efficient data organization and manipulation can significantly enhance the user experience of your application.

Conclusion

Reacting to varying data sizes can be challenging, but using Angular’s powerful directives allows you to create dynamic layouts that are functional and aesthetically pleasing. By following the steps outlined above, you can ensure that your movie genres are displayed correctly with the right number of columns and rows, making your application user-friendly.

Implement these techniques in your own projects, and see how efficiently you can manage dynamic content with Angular and Bootstrap. Happy coding!
