How to Retrieve Data from Nested JSON in Angular Material Tables: A Complete Guide

Working with nested JSON data can be tricky, especially when integrating it into Angular Material tables. If you've faced issues with retrieving and displaying data correctly, don't worry—you’re not alone!

In this post, we'll navigate through the common challenges encountered when working with nested JSON structures and provide step-by-step guidance to successfully render this data in an Angular Material table.

The Challenge

Let's consider a common scenario: you have a JSON response from your server that includes user data structured like this:

Your task is to display this dataUser array in a Material table. The error message you might encounter could be something like: "Could not find column with id '_id'".

This error generally indicates that the column definitions expected in the table do not align with the data being fed into it.

Solution Breakdown

Step 1: Adjusting Your Service Call

First things first! Your service call is currently structured to return the entire JSON object. However, the Angular Material dataSource expects an array of objects. Therefore, you need to adjust your data retrieval to specifically target the dataUser array:

Explanation

Response Handling: By specifying (response: UserMain), you're leveraging TypeScript's type checking to ensure your response conforms to the expected structure.

Setting the DataSource: You extract the dataUser array from the response and assign it directly to this.dataSource.

Step 2: Aligning Column Definitions

The next critical step is to ensure that the column definitions match the keys provided in the dataUser objects:

In your HTML template, define your columns like this:

Key Points

Name Consistency: Ensure that column names and data keys are consistent. Avoid spaces or prefixes to prevent errors when Angular processes column definitions.

Conclusion

With these adjustments, your Angular Material table should correctly display the nested JSON data. Remember to check that you are always extracting the relevant array from your data response to prevent similar errors.

By following these steps, you'll be well-equipped to handle nested JSON data in Angular Material tables. Don't hesitate to reach out if you have any further questions or encounter additional issues!

Happy coding!
