Grid Structure

This section describes the main parts of a DikeGrid instance and how you can customize this structure.

Live example

CSS Grid Layout

The DikeGrid uses the CSS Grid Layout specification to create its internal structure and display all the defined columns.

As you know, the CSS Grid Layout specification uses column and row templates. That is why every part of the DikeGrid is called a row. Therefore, for instance, the Header is called the Header Row, the Content, Content Row, etc.

Code for this section

You can read any sub-section in the order you want. However, we recommend reading all sub-sections as they appear.

The following initial configuration will increase in every sub-section.

<dike-grid id="grid-structure"
    [width]="gridProperties.width"
    [height]="gridProperties.height"
    
    [displayRowId]="gridProperties.displayRowId"
    [gridElevation]="gridProperties.matElevation"
    [gridElevationValue]="gridProperties.elevationValue"
    [striped]="gridProperties.stripeRows"
    
    [datasource]="dkgDataSource">

    <dike-grid-column
        fieldName="employeeId"
        headerText="Employee Id"
        dataType="Text"
        width="350">
    </dike-grid-column>

    <dike-grid-column
        fieldName="firstName"
        headerText="Name"
        dataType="Text">
    </dike-grid-column>

    <dike-grid-column
        fieldName="lastName"
        headerText="Surname"
        dataType="Text">
    </dike-grid-column>
</dike-grid>
