How to Dynamically Update an Angular Material Table in Real-time

In dynamic web applications, it is common to display data that can change frequently, such as error logs, notifications, or any real-time information. When using Angular Material, specifically the MatTable, developers often encounter challenges in ensuring that their tables reflect updates instantly. This guide will guide you through effectively updating your Angular Material table in real time.

The Problem: Updating Angular Table

You may have a scenario where your Angular Material table needs to display a list of error messages coming from a service. However, you notice that your table is not reflecting updates whenever new errors come in. The following code snippet illustrates the initial setup of the Angular component and service:

In addition, your service is responsible for logging these errors:

The issue arises when new error messages are added to the asmErrorLog. The table does not update and reflects only the initial dataset.

The Solution: Re-initializing the Data Source

To ensure your Angular Material table updates in real-time when new entries are added to the error log, you need to manage the dataSource properly. The solution involves reassigning the dataSource.data whenever a new error is logged. Here’s how you can implement this fix:

Step-by-Step Guide

Update Your Service: Modify the error method in your AssemblyErrorService class to update the dataSource when a new error is added.

Component Code: Ensure your component is set up to reference asmErrorLog directly instead of taking a static snapshot. Here’s the updated version of your error method:

Why This Works

Reactive Updates: By updating the dataSource directly, you inform Angular's change detection mechanism to refresh the view, ensuring that the table accurately displays the latest data.

Efficient Management: Maintaining the dataSource along with the array of errors allows for an organized approach to managing data changes, promoting cleaner and more maintainable code.

Conclusion

By following these adjustments, you can successfully create a MatTable in Angular that dynamically updates in real-time. This approach not only enhances user experience but also ensures that the data presented is timely and relevant. Now your application can effortlessly handle updates without needing to refresh or reload the entire table.

Implement these changes, and enjoy a more responsive and interactive Angular Material Table experience!
