Data grid - Column dimensions
Customize the dimensions and resizing behavior of your columns.
Column width
By default, the columns have a width of 100px.
This is an arbitrary, easy-to-remember value.
To change the width of a column, use the width
property available in GridColDef
.
Minimum width
By default, the columns have a minimum width of 50px.
This is an arbitrary, easy-to-remember value.
To change the minimum width of a column, use the minWidth
property available in GridColDef
.
Fluid width
Column fluidity or responsiveness can be achieved by setting the flex
property in GridColDef
.
The flex
property accepts a value between 0 and ∞.
It works by dividing the remaining space in the grid among all flex columns in proportion to their flex
value.
For example, consider a grid with a total width of 500px that has three columns: the first with width: 200
; the second with flex: 1
; and the third with flex: 0.5
.
The first column will be 200px wide, leaving 300px remaining. The column with flex: 1
is twice the size of flex: 0.5
, which means that final sizes will be: 200px, 200px, 100px.
To set a minimum and maximum width for a flex
column set the minWidth
and the maxWidth
property in GridColDef
.
Resizing
By default, DataGridPro
allows all columns to be resized by dragging the right portion of the column separator.
To prevent the resizing of a column, set resizable: false
in the GridColDef
.
Alternatively, to disable all columns resize, set the prop disableColumnResize={true}
.
To restrict resizing a column under a certain width set the minWidth
property in GridColDef
.
To restrict resizing a column above a certain width set the maxWidth
property in GridColDef
.
