# ARIA Grid with CDK Table Integration
2+
3+
This module provides ARIA grid directives that work seamlessly with Angular CDK Table, solving the DI tree issue that occurs when using templates and portals.
4+
5+
## The Problem
6+
7+
When using ARIA grid directives with CDK table, the `ngGridCell` directive fails to find the `GRID_ROW` provider because CDK table renders cells through templates and portals, which breaks the normal Angular DI tree.
8+
9+
## The Solution
10+
11+
This implementation provides multiple approaches to solve the DI issue:
12+
13+
### 1. Simple Row Provider (Recommended)
14+
15+
Use the `cdkGridRowProvider` directive on your table rows:
16+
17+
```typescript
18+
@Component({
19+
imports: [CdkTableModule, Grid, GridRow, GridCell, CdkGridRowProvider],
20+
template: `
21+
<table ngGrid cdk-table [dataSource]="data">
22+
@for (column of columns; track column) {
23+
<ng-container [cdkColumnDef]="column">
24+
<th ngGridCell cdk-header-cell *cdkHeaderCellDef>{{ column }}</th>
25+
<td ngGridCell cdk-cell *cdkCellDef="let row">{{ row[column] }}</td>
26+
</ng-container>
27+
}
28+
<tr ngGridRow cdkGridRowProvider cdk-header-row *cdkHeaderRowDef="columns"></tr>
29+
<tr ngGridRow cdkGridRowProvider cdk-row *cdkRowDef="let row; columns: columns"></tr>
30+
</table>
31+
`
32+
})
33+
export class MyTable {
34+
data = [
35+
{ name: 'John', age: 30 },
36+
{ name: 'Jane', age: 25 }
37+
];
38+
columns = ['name', 'age'];
39+
}
40+
```
41+
42+
### 2. DOM-based Fallback
43+
44+
The `GridCell` directive automatically falls back to DOM traversal when DI fails, so it works without additional configuration in most cases.
45+
46+
## Key Features
47+
48+
- **Automatic DI Fallback**: GridCell automatically searches the DOM hierarchy when DI fails
49+
- **CDK Table Integration**: Seamless integration with existing CDK table implementations
50+
- **Minimal Code Changes**: Only requires adding `cdkGridRowProvider` to row elements
51+
- **Performance Optimized**: Uses efficient DOM traversal and caching
52+
- **Type Safe**: Full TypeScript support with proper typing
53+
54+
## API Reference
55+
56+
### Directives
57+
58+
- `Grid` - Main grid container (`[ngGrid]`)
59+
- `GridRow` - Grid row (`[ngGridRow]`)
60+
- `GridCell` - Grid cell (`[ngGridCell]`)
61+
- `CdkGridRowProvider` - CDK table row provider (`[cdkGridRowProvider]`)
62+
63+
### Tokens
64+
65+
- `GRID_ROW` - Injection token for grid row instances
66+
67+
## Migration Guide
68+
69+
To migrate existing CDK tables to use ARIA grid:
70+
71+
1. Add `ngGrid` to your table element
72+
2. Add `ngGridRow` to your row templates
73+
3. Add `ngGridCell` to your cell templates
74+
4. Add `cdkGridRowProvider` to CDK row templates
75+
5. Import the required directives in your component
76+
77+
The solution is backward compatible and doesn't affect existing CDK table functionality.
