Keep full length of column headers in AgGrid

Question

How do I tell AgGrid not to shorten my column headers? By default I'd like to be able to see the full column headers when the grid loads and not have to resize them.

Answer 1

You can specify the minimum width of each column using minWidth. You can also set suppressSizeToFit to true to prevent AgGrid from calling api.sizeColumnsToFit(params).

Example:

// for specific column
const columnDefs = [
  { field: 'athlete', width: 150, suppressSizeToFit: true },
  { field: 'age', width: 50, minWidth: 50 },
  { colId: 'country', field: 'country', minWidth: 300 },
  { field: 'year', width: 90 },
];

// for all columns
const defaultColDef = {
  suppressSizeToFit: true
}
