Columns

To style the columns of the Grid, either:

Add custom cells for columns, or
Add class names for td elements.

Adding Custom Cells

Adding a custom cell for the Grid columns allows you to change the appearance of that cell based on the provided value. By using the custom-cell approach, you can include icons, buttons, links, or any other HTML elements in the cell.

The following example demonstrates changing the background color of the UnitPrice cells based on the price value.

        color: #F0FFFF;
        background-color: #888888;
