Angular DataGrid - Overview

Columns represent sets of data values that have the same type. To configure columns, assign an array of objects to the columns property. Each object in it configures a single column. If a column does not need to be customized, this array may include the name of the field that provides data for this column.

HTML
TypeScript
  • <dx-data-grid ... >
  • <dxi-column dataField="Title" caption="Position"></dxi-column>
  • <dxi-column dataField="FullName" [width]="300"></dxi-column>
  • <dxi-column dataField="CompanyName"></dxi-column>
  • <dxi-column dataField="City"></dxi-column>
  • </dx-data-grid>
  • import { DxDataGridModule } from "devextreme-angular";
  • // ...
  • export class AppComponent {
  • // ...
  • }
  • @NgModule({
  • imports: [
  • // ...
  • DxDataGridModule
  • ],
  • // ...
  • })

The DataGrid generates a column per data field if you do not specify the columns array. You can make minor adjustments to these columns with the customizeColumns function. Use the function's parameter to access the column configurations.

TypeScript
HTML
  • import { DxDataGridModule } from "devextreme-angular";
  • // ...
  • export class AppComponent {
  • constructor() {
  • // Uncomment the line below if customizeColumns should be executed in the component's context
  • // this.customizeColumns = this.customizeColumns.bind(this);
  • }
  •  
  • customizeColumns (columns) {
  • columns[0].width = 100;
  • columns[1].width = 210;
  • }
  • }
  • @NgModule({
  • imports: [
  • // ...
  • DxDataGridModule
  • ],
  • // ...
  • })
  • <dx-data-grid ...
  • [customizeColumns]="customizeColumns">
  • </dx-data-grid>
