Making HTML table sortable in AngularJS

21st of March, 2018 / / 2 Comments

 

Problem

We were working on a project and have built its front-end on AngularJS v1.6.6 along with Office UI Fabric, we have used community-driven library ngofficeuifabric when we came across a situation of table sorting and realised that it wasn’t a great fit for our custom sorting and filtering requirements raised during future sprints by our product owners and business in general.

Solution

We have replaced ‘uif-table’ with ‘table’ and added custom events for sorting, the markup  is as follows:
[code language=”html”]

ID


 



 


 Object ID


 



 


 Object Date Submitted


 



 


 Object Date


 



 
{{item.ID}}

How LUIS can help BOTs in understanding natural language

15th of September, 2017 / / No Comments

Since bots are evolving, you need a mechanism to better understand what user wants from his/her language and take actions or respond to user queries appropriately.
