# Column types

RevoGrid provides a way to define your own editors.

Yet it comes with plugins with different column types.
All additional column types based on plugin idea:

  • They have to be imported to project in order to avoid extra data for users not interested in it;
  • You can create your own plugin types and refer to it. Just clone any existing type, it's simple as it is.

Check our demo for live examples.

You can define your own plugins or use default one:

# String

Primitive default data type. Accepts any data entry and read it as string.

# Number

Primitive numeric data type plugin (opens new window) based on numeraljs (opens new window) library. Accept data in numeric format.

Installation

npm i @revolist/revogrid-column-numeral

Basic usage

import NumberColumnType from '@revolist/revogrid-column-numeral'; // import library
const plugin = { 'numeric': new NumberColumnType('0,0') }; // create plugin entity
const columns = [{ prop: 'num', columnType: 'numeric' }]; // define column type
const rows = [{ 'num': 1000 }];

const grid = document.querySelector('revo-grid');
grid.columnTypes = plugin;
grid.source = rows;
grid.columns = columns;

// '1,000'
