Angular Seating Chart Component for Reserved Seating

Install @seatlayer/angular, render an interactive Angular seating chart with live availability and seat selection, create holds, and book on your server.

The official SeatLayer Angular seating chart component adds an interactive seat map and seat picker to reserved-seating apps built with Angular. The @seatlayer/angular package ships a standalone component with typed inputs, outputs, and an imperative API for live availability, seat selection, temporary holds, and best-available seating.

Inspect the Angular source, learn about the SeatLayer reserved-seating platform, or try the browser seat-map demo.

Install the package

npm install @seatlayer/angular

The package ships in Angular Package Format with bundled TypeScript types.

Render a seating chart

Import the standalone component and bind your event:

import { Component } from '@angular/core';
import { SeatingChartComponent } from '@seatlayer/angular';

@Component({
  standalone: true,
  imports: [SeatingChartComponent],
  template: `
    <seatlayer-seating-chart
      [event]="'ev_your_event_key'"
      [currency]="'USD'"
      (selectionChanged)="updateBasket($event)"
      (holdExpired)="returnBuyerToMap()"
    />
  `,
})
export class EventSeatMapComponent {}

The component renders a plain div in your DOM — no iframe — and runs chart events outside Angular’s zone, so live seat updates never thrash change detection.

Select, hold, and hand off checkout

Keep the security boundary explicit:

The browser selects seats and creates a temporary hold.
Your backend inspects the hold and derives the amount to charge.
Your payment and order workflow stays on your server.
Your backend books with a stable bookingRef so retries are safe.

Continue with holds and checkout before connecting a production order flow.

Frequently asked questions

Is this a real Angular component or an iframe?

The seating chart is a standalone Angular component rendering a plain div and driving the buyer renderer directly — no iframe. Inputs, outputs, and the imperative API are all typed.

How do temporary seat holds work?

Selecting seats creates a temporary hold that reserves inventory against concurrent buyers for a limited window. The hold expires automatically if checkout does not complete — the hold-expired output tells the app to return the buyer to the map — and holds can be extended or resumed for longer checkouts.

Can I use my own payment provider?

Yes. SeatLayer never processes payment inside the seat map. The browser hands the hold id to your backend, and your backend charges through any payment provider you already use before booking the hold.

Is there a React or Vue version?

Yes — @seatlayer/react and @seatlayer/vue share the same typed contract, and @seatlayer/js covers any framework or none.
