Access cell alignment in Handsontable

Question

As it can be tested in the align cell demo, handsontable supports cell alignment:

• Horizontal
  • Left
  • Center
  • Right
  • Justify
• Vertical
  • Top
  • Middle
  • Bottom

Here a screenshot:

I can access the data with:

$('#table-wrapper').handsontable('getData')

But how can I access the cell alignment?

Answer 1

I think I found the solution. There is a cell method called getCellMeta. It returns an array containing an className entry.

It can be accessed:

var cellMeta = $('#table-wrapper').handsontable('getCellMeta', 0, 0);
var className = cellMeta['className']; //String containing the information.

Values are:

• Horizontal
  • Left: htLeft
  • Center: htCenter
  • Right: htRight
  • Justify: htJustify
• Vertical
  • Top: htTop
  • Middle: htMiddle
  • Bottom: htBottom

Of course you can have a combination of two values (for horizontal and vertical) separated with a space.
