Is it possible to make ng-grid responsive?

Question

I'm using the Angular.js 'ng-grid' data grid and am trying to make its behavior responsive. When I resize the screen I'd prefer the grid columns to become stackable automatically as opposed to keeping the grid a fixed width.

I've found a few links mentioning a defunct ngGridLayoutPlugin that all lead to a dead end on GitHub. I've also seen other grids like angular-deckgrid but I'm not interested at this point in changing grids.

Is there anyway to make ng-grid responsive?

Answer 1

I found a solution to this that worked nicely. The native Bootstrap table has a class that can be applied named table-responsive (see: http://getbootstrap.com/css/#tables-responsive). The application to a standard Bootstrap table is to wrap it in this class. The responsive nature is one if the screen gets smaller the table itself will get scroll bars but not the entire page.

You can wrap a ng-grid with this same class and achieve the identical behavior:

<div class="table-responsive">
  <div class="gridStyle" ng-grid="gridOptions">

  </div>
</div>

If you test this with and without the <div> wrapper containing the table-responsive class you can see the difference between the scrollbars wither being just on the table/grid (responsive), or when not using it, the entire page scrolls (not responsive).
