How to set different text alignment for content and header?
Problem discussion
Usually, Text Alignment of the Grid content and its header will be same which can be determined by the value given textAlign property of the Grid Columns.
Solution
This can be customized by using the textAlign and headerTextAlign property of the JavaScript DataGrid columns. Value given in the textAlign will be set to the content whereas the value assigned to the headerTextAlign property assigned to the column headers.
Define the Grid
Define the Grid columns with textAlign and headerTextAlign property.
import { Grid, Page } from '@syncfusion/ej2-grids';
import { orderData } from './data-source';
Grid.Inject(Page);
/**
* Default Grid sample
*/
let grid: Grid = new Grid(
{
dataSource: orderData,
allowPaging: true,
pageSettings: { pageSize: 7 },
columns: [
{ field: 'OrderID', headerText: 'Order ID', width: 120, textAlign: 'Right', headerTextAlign: 'Left' },
{ field: 'CustomerName', headerText: 'Customer Name', width: 150 },
{ field: 'OrderDate', headerText: 'Order Date', width: 130, format: 'yMd', textAlign: 'Right', headerTextAlign: 'Left' },
{ field: 'Freight', width: 120, format: 'C2', textAlign: 'Right', headerTextAlign: 'Left' },
{ field: 'ShippedDate', headerText: 'Shipped Date', width: 140, format: 'yMd', textAlign: 'Right' },
{ field: 'ShipCountry', headerText: 'Ship Country', width: 150 }
]
});
