How can I center the text in the headers for an AG-grid control?

Question

How can I center the text in the headers for an AG-grid control? I have tried using cellstyle and cellclass in the column definition but that did not work. Thank you

Answer 1

You may use this property:

cellStyle: {textAlign: 'center'}

Answer 2

I'm using Angular 8 and AG-Grid is nested deep in some other component.

I had to do this in order to make it work.

.ag-header-group-cell-label {
      justify-content: center !important;
}

And, this strictly needs to be under styles.scss file and not in the component scss file. Or else, it will not work.

Hope this helps someone.

Answer 3

If you want to align your text right, left or center in ag-grid. Then use this:-

cellStyle: { textAlign: 'right' }
cellStyle: { textAlign: 'left' } 
cellStyle: { textAlign: 'center' }

Answer 4

It should be:

.ag-header-cell-label {
  text-align: center;
}

Answer 5

I'm using react and I just added the following snippet to my Table component's .css

.ag-header-cell-label {
   justify-content: center;
}

I'm overriding the .css class class from ag-grid which I found via devtools inspection, and discovered it's using flexbox for display.

See example (not react but same concept): https://embed.plnkr.co/O3NI4WgHxkFiJCyacn0r/

Answer 6

To use a custom class, add headerClass: "text-center" to the column definition and css as follows:

text-center * {
    justifyContent: center
}
