Tableau UI Angular is a third-party component library that brings Tableau-style components to Angular 18.

To install the library, run the following command:

npm install tableau-ui-angular

A web app containing all components, guides, and samples is hosted on GitHub Pages. Note that the web app does not display the underlying usage code. To understand how to use the components, you will need to browse the source code.

To explore the code locally:

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/serionist/tableau-ui-angular.git

2. Install dependencies

   npm install

3. Start the app:

   npm start

Requires Node 22.

The hosted version of this sample app does not use the official Tableau font (Benton Sans Book), as its proprietary. If you host your own version of it and you own a Tableau Server, you can import the Tableau fonts by running:

node projects/component-library/styles/fonts/downloadFonts.js https://[your-tableau-server].com projects/test-app/public/font

If you don't do this step, the sample site will fall back to Roboto or Arial fonts (the hosted sample site is also using these fonts).

Follow this example to add a Tableau button to your site (using SCSS stylesheets):

1. Install the package

   npm install tableau-ui-angular

2. In styles.scss, import the library styles:

   @import 'tableau-ui-angular/styles/lib-styles';

3. (Optional) If you own a license for the Tableau font (Benton Sans), follow this guide to import it.

4. (Optional) To use Roboto as a fallback font, add this line to your styles.scss:

   @import url('https://fonts.googleapis.com/css2?family=Roboto:ital,wght@0,100;0,300;0,400;0,500;0,700;0,900;1,100;1,300;1,400;1,500;1,700;1,900&display=swap');
   

5. Update your app.component.ts, import TableauUiButtonModule:

   import { Component } from '@angular/core';
   import { RouterOutlet } from '@angular/router';
   import { TableauUiButtonModule } from 'tableau-ui-angular';
   
   @Component({
   selector: 'app-root',
   standalone: true,
   imports: [RouterOutlet, TableauUiButtonModule],
   templateUrl: './app.component.html',
   styleUrl: './app.component.scss'
   })
   export class AppComponent {
   title = 'tableau-ui-angular-sample';
   }
   
   

   Note: You can use the TableauUiAllModule to import all components.

6. In app.component.html,add the button:

   <button color="primary" [loading]="false" type="button" [disabled]="false">This is a primary Tableau Button</button>
   

   NOTE: the color, loading, type and disabled attributes are optional.

1. Run npm run dev:link from the root project folder
2. Go to your consuming project (which already has tableau-ui-angular installed probably) and run:
   • npm unlink tableau-ui-angular (to be safe)
   • npm link tableau-ui-angular
   • cd node_modules/tableau_ui_angular
   • npm install to install required linked packages
   • cd ../..
3. It will replace the package files from npm from the ones you are hosting locally with npm run dev:link
