Headers in EJ2 TypeScript Treegrid control

27 Apr 202310 minutes to read

Header text

By default, column header title is displayed from column field value. To override the default header title, you have to define the headerText value.

index.ts
index.html
import { TreeGrid } from '@syncfusion/ej2-treegrid';
import { sampleData } from './datasource.ts';

let treeGridObj: TreeGrid = new TreeGrid({
    dataSource: sampleData,
    childMapping: 'subtasks',
    height: 315,
    treeColumnIndex: 1,
    columns: [
                { field: 'taskID', headerText: 'Task ID', width: 90, textAlign: 'Right' },
                { field: 'taskName', headerText: 'Task Name', width: 180, textAlign: 'Left' },
                {
                    field: 'startDate', headerText: 'Start Date', width: 90, textAlign: 'Right', type: 'date', format: 'yMd'
                },
                { field: 'duration', headerText: 'Duration', width: 80, textAlign: 'Right' }
    ]
});

treeGridObj.appendTo('#TreeGrid');

If both the field and headerText are not defined in the column, the column renders with “empty” header text.

Header template

You can customize the header element by using the headerTemplate property.

index.ts
index.html
import { TreeGrid } from '@syncfusion/ej2-treegrid';
import { headerData } from './datasource.ts';
let treeGridObj: TreeGrid = new TreeGrid({
    dataSource: headerData,
    childMapping: 'subtasks',
    height: 315,
    columns: [  
        { field: 'taskName', headerTemplate: '#projectName', width: 220 },
        { field: 'startDate', headerTemplate: '#dateTemplate', format: 'yMd', textAlign: 'Right' },
        { field: 'duration', headerTemplate: '#durationTemplate', textAlign: 'Right' },
        { field: 'progress', headerTemplate: '#progressTemplate', textAlign: 'Right' }
    ]
});

treeGridObj.appendTo('#TreeGrid');
