Similar column format for datatable

Webix JS
#1

Hello,

I have to make many similar tables and many columns will have either of the following format:

{ id:“varA”,
header:[
{text:“varA”, css:“multiline”},
{content:“numberFilter”}],
editor: “text”,
width:100,
sort:‘int’},
{ id:“varB”,
header:[null,
{text:“varB”, css:“multiline”, height: 60},
{content:“textFilter”}],
editor: “text”,
width:100,
sort:‘string’},

Is there a way to make these into templates such that for each column, I only have to specify the 1) id, and 2) header text name instead of having to copy these over and over again?

you can implement some column factory

Thanks! That worked to some extent.
Is there a way to define only the header text?

Right now, I would still need to have this entire part defined again to get it to show up.
header:[{text:“ID”, css:“multiline”, height:90}, {content:“textFilter”}]

Never mind, I got it to work. Thank you for the tip on using extend!
