Highlight Cells and Styling

Highlighting and styling cells dynamically, allows you to create visually appealing and informative data grids. By utilizing cell properties and custom templates, you can style cells based on their values, manage interactions, and enhance user experience.

Dynamic Cell Styling

One of the easiest ways to provide visual feedback to users is through dynamic cell styling. You can apply styles based on the content of the cells, such as changing the background color depending on the value.

You can also manage various events directly within the cell using the cellProperties. This allows you to add interactivity to your cells, such as handling clicks or double clicks.

Interactive Example

Below is a live example demonstrating dynamic cell styling and event handling:

This example shows:

• Dynamic background colors based on cell values
• Click event handling
• Custom cell templates

In this example, the Price column’s background color changes based on its value:

• Grey for the first column,
• Red for prices below 10,
• Orange for prices between 10 and 20,
• Green for prices above 20,
• Clicking on the Price cell will log the value to the console, while double-clicking will display an alert with the price.

Using Cell Templates for Advanced Styling

If you need more control over the rendering of cells, you can utilize cell templates. This allows for complex HTML structures within cells while maintaining the ability to style dynamically. In this case, the Price cell uses a custom template to render a div element, allowing for more advanced styling and content manipulation.

Conclusion

Capabilities for highlighting and styling cells enhance the user experience by providing meaningful visual feedback and interactivity. By utilizing dynamic styling, event handling, and custom templates, you can create a rich and engaging data grid that meets your specific requirements.
