Class IgxColumnComponent

Ignite UI for Angular Column - Documentation

The Ignite UI Column is used within an igx-grid element to define what data the column will show. Features such as sorting, filtering & editing are enabled at the column level. You can also provide a template containing custom content inside the column using ng-template which will be used for all cells within the column.

cellClasses

cellClasses: any

Sets a conditional class selector of the column cells. Accepts an object literal, containing key-value pairs, where the key is the name of the CSS class, while the value is either a callback function that returns a boolean, or boolean, like so:

callback = (rowData, columnKey, cellValue, rowIndex) => { return rowData[columnKey] > 6; }
cellClasses = { 'className' : this.callback };
<igx-column [cellClasses] = "cellClasses"></igx-column>
<igx-column [cellClasses] = "{'class1' : true }"></igx-column>

IgxColumnComponent

cellStyles

cellStyles: any = null

Sets conditional style properties on the column cells. Similar to ngStyle it accepts an object literal where the keys are the style properties and the value is the expression to be evaluated. As with cellClasses it accepts a callback function.

styles = {
 background: 'royalblue',
 color: (rowData, columnKey, cellValue, rowIndex) => value.startsWith('Important') : 'red': 'inherit'
}
<igx-column [cellStyles]="styles"></igx-column>

IgxColumnComponent

formatter

formatter: function

When autogenerating columns, the formatter is used to format the display of the column data without modifying the underlying bound values.

In this example, we check to see if the column name is Salary, and then provide a method as the column formatter to format the value into a currency string.

onColumnInit(column: IgxColumnComponent) {
  if (column.field == "Salary") {
    column.formatter = (salary => this.format(salary));
  }
}

format(value: number) : string {
  return formatCurrency(value, "en-us", "$");
}
