[ Datatable ] Define template of specific column before Data is loaded

Webix JS
#1

Good day,

is there a way to define template of specific column before data is loaded ?

I’m trying to do it with ‘onBeforeLoad’ event, ‘.config’ and ‘.define’ method , but as i understood you can’t define columns template with ‘.define’ or can you ?.

Something like this :

          onBeforeLoad: function () {

                var test = this.config.columns[1].id;
                // Gives error
                $$(test).define({ template: "<div class='one'>#sales#</div>" }); 
              

            },

specific cell or column? cell is not created if data is not loaded.
you can change column’s template through

table.getColumnConfig(id).template = function(){...};
table.refresh();

@intregal Hopla , i wanted to write columns. Going to try your code. Thanks.

@intregal, It’s me again. It seems like we can’t use

       table.getColumnConfig(id)

and

       table.getColumnIndex(id)
       table.columnId(number);

with ‘onBeforeLoad’ Event.

Is there maybe is a similar Event where we can access the columns config and change the column before whole data is loaded into table ?(i guess there isn’t).

There’s anonStructureLoad event that triggers when the columns are ready: https://webix.com/snippet/d207d27c
