Columns in JavaScript Grid control
The column definitions are used as the dataSource schema in the Grid. This plays a vital role in rendering column values in the required format.
The grid operations such as sorting, filtering and grouping etc. are performed based on column definitions. The field property of the columns
is necessary to map the data source values in Grid columns.
Auto generation
The columns are automatically generated when
columns declaration is empty or undefined while initializing the grid. All the columns in the dataSource are bound as grid columns.

</html>When columns are auto-generated, the column
typewill be determined from the first record of thedataSource.
Set isPrimaryKey for auto generated columns when editing is enabled
Primary key can be defined in the declaration of column object of the grid. When we didn’t declare the columns, the grid will generate the columns automatically. For these auto generated columns, you can set isPrimaryKey column property as true by any one of the following two ways,
If Primary key “column index” is known then refer the following code example
import { Grid, Edit } from '@syncfusion/ej2-grids';
Grid.Inject(Edit);
let data: Object[] = [
{ OrderID: 10248, CustomerID: 'VINET', EmployeeID: 5 },
{ OrderID: 10249, CustomerID: 'TOMSP', EmployeeID: 6 },
{ OrderID: 10250, CustomerID: 'HANAR', EmployeeID: 4 }];
let grid: Grid = new Grid ({
dataSource: data,
editSettings: { allowEditing: true, allowAdding: true, allowDeleting: true }
});
grid.appendTo('#Grid');
grid.dataBound = () => {
var column: Column = grid.columns[0];
column.isPrimaryKey = 'true';
}If Primary key “column fieldname” is known then refer the following code example
import { Grid, Edit } from '@syncfusion/ej2-grids';
Grid.Inject(Edit);
let data: Object[] = [
{ OrderID: 10248, CustomerID: 'VINET', EmployeeID: 5 },
{ OrderID: 10249, CustomerID: 'TOMSP', EmployeeID: 6 },
{ OrderID: 10250, CustomerID: 'HANAR', EmployeeID: 4 }];
let grid: Grid = new Grid ({
dataSource: data,
editSettings: { allowEditing: true, allowAdding: true, allowDeleting: true }
});
grid.appendTo('#Grid');
grid.dataBound = () => {
var column: Column = grid.getColumnByField('OrderID');
column.isPrimaryKey = 'true';
}Set column options to auto generated columns
You can set column options such as format, width to the auto generated columns by using dataBound event of the grid.
In the below example, width is set for OrderID column, date type is set for OrderDate column and numeric type is set for Freight column.

import { DataManager, ODataAdaptor, Query } from '@syncfusion/ej2-data';
let data: DataManager = new DataManager({
adaptor: new ODataAdaptor(),
crossDomain: true,

{ field: 'ShipCity', headerText: 'Ship City', width: 100 },
{ field: 'Employee.City', headerText: 'Employee City', width: 150 }
],
height: 315
});
grid.appendTo('#Grid');Foreign Key Column
Foreign key column can be enabled by using column.dataSource, column.foreignKeyField and column.foreignKeyValue properties.
column.dataSource- Defines the foreign data.column.foreignKeyField- Defines the mapping column name to the foreign data.column.foreignKeyValue- Defines the display field from the foreign data.
In the following example, Employee Name is a foreign column which shows FirstName column from foreign data.

- For remote data, the sorting and grouping is done based on
column.foreignKeyFieldinstead ofcolumn.foreignKeyValue.- If
column.foreignKeyFieldis not defined, then the column usescolumn.field.
Header Template
You can customize the header element by using the headerTemplate property. In this demo, the custom element is rendered for both EmployeeID and BirthDate column headers.

To format cell values based on specific culture, use the columns.format property. The grid uses Internalization library to format number and date
values.

| N | Denotes numeric type. |
| C | Denotes currency type. |
| P | Denotes percentage type |
Please refer to the link to know more about Number formatting.
Date formatting
You can format date values either using built-in date format string or custom format string.
For built-in date format you can specify columns.format property as string (Example: yMd). Please refer to the link to know more about Date formatting.
You can also use custom format string to format the date values. Some of the custom formats and the formatted date values are given in the below table.
| Format | Formatted value |
|---|---|
| { type:‘date’, format:‘dd/MM/yyyy’ } | 04/07/1996 |
| { type:‘date’, format:‘dd.MM.yyyy’ } | 04.07.1996 |
| { type:‘date’, skeleton:‘short’ } | 7/4/96 |

During the reorder action, the grid component triggers the below three events.
- The
columnDragStartevent triggers when column header element drag (move) starts. - The
columnDragevent triggers when column header element is dragged (moved) continuously. - The
columnDropevent triggers when a column header element is dropped on the target column.

}Column resizing
Column width can be resized by clicking and dragging the right edge of the column header. While dragging, the width of the respective column will be resized immediately. Each column can be auto resized by double-clicking the right edge of the column header to fit the width of that column based on the widest cell content. To enable column resize, set the allowResizing property to true.
To use the column resize, inject Resize module in the grid.

- You can disable resizing for a particular column by setting the
columns.allowResizingto false.- In RTL mode, you can click and drag the left edge of the header cell to resize the column.
Column Resizing Externally
To resize a column, set width to that particular column and then refresh the grid header by using the refreshHeader() method. Please refer the below code
var grid = document.getElementById('Grid').ej2_instances[0]; //Grid Instance
var columns = grid.columns;
columns[0].width = 150;
grid.refreshHeader();Min and max width
Column resize can be restricted between minimum and maximum width by defining the columns->minWidth and columns->maxWidth.
In the following sample, minimum and maximum width are defined for OrderID, Ship Name, and Ship Country columns.

</html>Touch interaction
When the right edge of the header cell is tapped, a floating handler will be visible over the right border of the column. To resize the column, tap and drag the floating handler as needed. You can autoFit a column by using the Column menu of the grid.
The following screenshot represents the column resizing in touch device.
Resizing Events
During the resizing action, the grid component triggers the below three events.
- The
resizeStartevent triggers when column resize starts. - The
resizingevent triggers when column header element is dragged (moved) continuously.. - The
resizeStopevent triggers when column resize ends.
