We got this working in angular 4. We simply followed the sample provided by Handsontable support. It meant downgrading the version of angular, which was not a big deal for us. Key files to pay attention to are main.ts, polyfills.ts., angular-cli.json and package.json. If you follow exactly what the sample is doing, then you should not have a problem “enabling” the pro features. But be warned it only enables the pro features in demo mode.
The demo mode problem we have now is in the console window and below the grid after it renders is this message "Evaluation version of Handsontable Pro. Not licensed for use in a production environment.
See my previous comment in this thread regarding the fact the angular wrapper is not coded to support the pro version. Its quite disappointing to find out. We have been using this product for several years but lately it seems the quality and level of support is lacking.
Can support help out us out with this demo mode problem?
I suppose eventually we will see this wrapper working. HOT is giving the community the impression that this wrapper will be functional, but the timeline is up in the air. It would be great to get a clearer answer on a timeline but every time I ask, the answer keep getting more vague. HOT mentions it is being “worked on” but the project has not been updated in over 3 months.
@aleksandra_budnik Can the community get some help on this demo mode problem I am having? Are others facing this same issue?
