Styling all AG Grid cells

Can't use style ❌
Use cellStyle instead ✅

grid = AgGrid(
defaultColDef={
    "cellStyle": 
    {"textAlign": "right"}}
)

The first two columns of the table from the previous lesson. It has the headers "Major Category" and "Total Sales ($)" with four rows of data. All the data in the cells is aligned to the right.

Styling some AG Grid cells

column_defs = [
{"field": "Major Category"
, "cellStyle": {"textAlign": "center"}},
{"field": "Total Sales ($)"
, "valueFormatter": money_fmt
, "cellStyle": {"textAlign": "right"}}
]

This is the same table as the previous slide; however, the first column of "Major Category" has text center aligned and the second column "Total Sales ($)" has text right aligned.

More styling examples

Use other CSS for styling ✨

grid = AgGrid(
# Other setup
defaultColDef={
"cellStyle": {
  "backgroundColor": "black",
   "color": "white"}
})

This is the same table as the previous slide; however the cells have a black background color and white text

Selecting cells

Use the cellClicked property
Callback to print the clicked-cell information

@callback(
    Output("test_text", "children"),
    Input("my_grid", "cellClicked")
)
def show_cell_info(cell_data):
    return str(cell_data)

A gif of the same table that has been present in the slideshow so far. Below the table is a dictionary that updates with the details of a cell once clicked.

Selecting rows

Set rowSelection to "single" or "multiple"

grid = AgGrid(
# Other parts
dashGridOptions={
"rowSelection": "single"}
)

@callback(
Output("test_text", "children"),
Input("my_grid", "selectedRows")
)

A gif of the same table that has been present in the slideshow so far. Below the table is a grey text area that updates with a dictionary of an entire row when selected
