Column header wrapping when using Angular ui-grid

I have upgraded my AngularJS SPA application from ng-grid v2.0.7 to ui-grid v3 and my column headers no longer wrap around. My column headers are now single lined and show an ellipsis ... when the column header doesn't fit.

Has this feature been removed or is had it been superseded by a different method?

Solution

  • I believe I have found a way of wrapping text in the header columns by overriding the ui-grid-cell-contents CSS class.

    .ui-grid-header-cell .ui-grid-cell-contents {
     height: 48px;
     white-space: normal;
     -ms-text-overflow: clip;
     -o-text-overflow: clip;
     text-overflow: clip;
     overflow: visible;
}

    Adding this to my site.css I find the column names are now wrapping onto the next line as expected.

    Works in Chrome (v41) and Firefox (v35).
