Editing table data in Angular 4

Question

I am simply trying to display, add, delete & update the employee table in Angular. Here is the image of the table:

As of now I have disabled each field of the table. Whenever i click on 'Edit' button i want the field of the corresponding row to be enabled so i can edit right on!

Here are my files:

employee-data.component.ts

import { Component } from '@angular/core';
import { Employee } from './employee';
import { NgForm } from '@angular/forms';
import { promise } from 'selenium-webdriver';


@Component({
selector: 'employee-data',
templateUrl: './employee-data.component.html',
})

export class EmployeeDataComponent {

id: number;
name: string;
address: string;
gender: string;
company: string;

//emp: Employee[] = [];

employees: Employee[] = [
    {
        id: 1,
        name: 'Ram',
        address: 'Kupondole',
        gender: 'Male',
        company: 'XYZ Techno Sales'
    },
    {
        id: 2,
        name: 'Shyam',
        address: 'Baneshwor',
        gender: 'Male',
        company: 'ABC Enterprises'
    },
    {
        id: 3,
        name: 'Prashansha',
        address: 'Tripureshwor',
        gender: 'Female',
        company: 'MNO Inc'
    },
    {
        id: 4,
        name: 'Rita',
        address: 'Ghatthaghar',
        gender: 'Female',
        company: 'Subisu'
    }
];

addRow() {
    //prompt("Checking the control!");
    this.employees.push({
        id: this.id,
        name: this.name,
        address: this.address,
        gender: this.gender,
        company: this.company
    });
}

deleteEmployee(index) {

    this.employees.splice(index, 1);
}

editEmployee(index) {

    //code for editing

}

}

           (click)="addRow()" />
    </div>
</div>
</form>

How can i edit the row? And I am using Angular 4

Answer 1

You can use a property like isEditable with employee and use it to disable or enable editing something like

<input type="text" [(ngModel)]="employee.name"  [disabled]="!employee.isEditable">

Then enable on edit button click

<button (click)="employee.isEditable=!employee.isEditable" *ngIf="!employee.isEditable">Edit</button>
