Cell customization

The appearance of cells can be customized by using the queryCellInfo event.
The queryCellInfo event triggers for every cell. In that event handler, you can get QueryCellInfoEventArgs that contains the details of the cell.

import { Component, OnInit } from '@angular/core';
import { data } from './datasource';
import { QueryCellInfoEventArgs } from '@syncfusion/ej2-angular-grids';

@Component({
    selector: 'app-root',
    template: `<ejs-grid #grid [dataSource]='data' [enableHover]='false' [allowSelection]='false' [height]='315'
                (queryCellInfo)='customiseCell($event)'>
                    <e-columns>
                        <e-column field='OrderID' headerText='Order ID' textAlign='Right' width=100></e-column>
                        <e-column field='CustomerID' headerText='Customer ID' width=120></e-column>
                        <e-column field='Freight' headerText='Freight' textAlign='Right' format='C2' width=80></e-column>
                        <e-column field='ShipCity' headerText='Ship City' width=130 ></e-column>
                    </e-columns>
                </ejs-grid>`,
    styleUrls: ['./app/app.style.css']
})
export class AppComponent implements OnInit {

    public data: object[];

    ngOnInit(): void {
        this.data = data;
    }

    customiseCell(args: QueryCellInfoEventArgs) {
        if (args.column.field === 'Freight') {
            if (args.data[args.column.field] < 30) {
                args.cell.classList.add('below-30');
            } else if (args.data[args.column.field] < 80) {
                args.cell.classList.add('below-80');
            } else {
                args.cell.classList.add('above-80');
            }
        }
    }
}
import { NgModule } from '@angular/core';
import { BrowserModule } from '@angular/platform-browser';
import { GridModule } from '@syncfusion/ej2-angular-grids';
import { DetailRowService } from '@syncfusion/ej2-angular-grids';
import { AppComponent } from './app.component';

/**
 * Module
 */
@NgModule({
    imports: [
        BrowserModule,
        GridModule        
    ],
    declarations: [AppComponent],
    bootstrap: [AppComponent],
    providers: [DetailRowService]
})
export class AppModule { }
import { platformBrowserDynamic } from '@angular/platform-browser-dynamic';
import { enableProdMode } from '@angular/core';
import { AppModule } from './app.module';

enableProdMode();
platformBrowserDynamic().bootstrapModule(AppModule);

Custom attributes

You can customize the grid cells by adding a CSS class to the customAttribute property of the column.

.e-attr {
    background: #d7f0f4;
}
{
    field: 'ShipCity', headerText: 'Ship City', customAttributes: {class: 'e-attr'}, width: '120'
}

In the below example, we have customized the cells of OrderID and ShipCity columns.

import { Component, OnInit } from '@angular/core';
import { data } from './datasource';

@Component({
    selector: 'app-root',
    template: `<ejs-grid #grid [dataSource]='data' [height]='315'>
                    <e-columns>
                        <e-column field='OrderID' headerText='Order ID' [customAttributes]="{class: 'e-attr'}"
                         textAlign='Right' width=100></e-column>
                        <e-column field='CustomerID' headerText='Customer ID' width=120></e-column>
                        <e-column field='ShipCity' headerText='Ship City' [customAttributes]="{class: 'e-attr'}" width=130 ></e-column>
                        <e-column field='ShipName' headerText='Ship Name' textAlign='Right' width=80></e-column>
                    </e-columns>
                </ejs-grid>`,
    styleUrls: ['./app/app.style.css']
})
export class AppComponent implements OnInit {

    public data: object[];

    ngOnInit(): void {
        this.data = data;
    }
}
import { NgModule } from '@angular/core';
import { BrowserModule } from '@angular/platform-browser';
import { GridModule } from '@syncfusion/ej2-angular-grids';
import { DetailRowService } from '@syncfusion/ej2-angular-grids';
import { AppComponent } from './app.component';

/**
 * Module
 */
@NgModule({
    imports: [
        BrowserModule,
        GridModule        
    ],
    declarations: [AppComponent],
    bootstrap: [AppComponent],
    providers: [DetailRowService]
})
export class AppModule { }
import { platformBrowserDynamic } from '@angular/platform-browser-dynamic';
import { enableProdMode } from '@angular/core';
import { AppModule } from './app.module';

enableProdMode();
platformBrowserDynamic().bootstrapModule(AppModule);

Grid lines

The gridLines have the option to display cell border and it can be defined by the gridLines property.

The available modes of grid lines are:

Modes Actions
Both Displays both the horizontal and vertical grid lines.
None No grid lines are displayed.
Horizontal Displays the horizontal grid lines only.
Vertical Displays the vertical grid lines only.
Default Displays grid lines based on the theme. 
import { Component, OnInit } from '@angular/core';
import { inventoryData } from './datasource';

@Component({
    selector: 'app-root',
    template: `<ejs-grid [dataSource]='data' height='315' gridLines='Both'>
        <e-columns>
            <e-column field='Inventor' headerText='Inventor Name' width='180' textAlign="Right"></e-column>
            <e-column field='NumberofPatentFamilies' headerText="Number of Patent Families" width='180' textAlign="Right"></e-column>
            <e-column field='Country' headerText='Country' width='140'></e-column>
            <e-column field='Active' width='120'></e-column>
            <e-column field='Mainfieldsofinvention' headerText='Main fields of invention' width='200'></e-column>
        </e-columns>
    </ejs-grid>`
})
export class AppComponent implements OnInit {

    public data: object[];
    ngOnInit(): void {
        this.data = inventoryData;
    }
}
import { NgModule } from '@angular/core';
import { BrowserModule } from '@angular/platform-browser';
import { GridModule } from '@syncfusion/ej2-angular-grids';
import { PageService } from '@syncfusion/ej2-angular-grids';
import { AppComponent } from './app.component';

/**
 * Module
 */
@NgModule({
    imports: [
        BrowserModule,
        GridModule
    ],
    declarations: [AppComponent],
    bootstrap: [AppComponent],
    providers: [PageService]
})
export class AppModule { }
import { platformBrowserDynamic } from '@angular/platform-browser-dynamic';
import { enableProdMode } from '@angular/core';
import { AppModule } from './app.module';

enableProdMode();
platformBrowserDynamic().bootstrapModule(AppModule);

By default, the grid renders with Default mode.
