Angular PivotGridFieldChooser API

A complementary UI component for the PivotGrid that allows you to manage data displayed in the PivotGrid. The field chooser is already integrated in the PivotGrid and can be invoked using the context menu. If you need to continuously display the field chooser near the PivotGrid UI component, use the PivotGridFieldChooser UI component.

import { DxPivotGridFieldChooserModule } from "devextreme-angular"
Selector: dx-pivot-grid-field-chooser

Both the PivotGridFieldChooser and the PivotGrid must be bound to one and the same instance of the PivotGridDataSource. Create the PivotGridDataSource individually and then assign it to both UI components as shown in the code above.
