Customizing Font Family and Size in ag-Grid with Angular 10

When developing an Angular application with ag-Grid, you might want to style your grid to match your application’s overall design. One of the common customizations is setting the font family and font size. If you’ve tried modifying the styles in your wrapper container without success, you’re not alone! In this guide, we will walk you through how to properly set the font properties for your ag-Grid component using Angular 10 and ag-Grid version 25.

Understanding the Issue

You may have attempted to apply styles directly in your wrapper container or directly on the ag-grid-angular tag, as shown below:

While you might expect these CSS rules to take effect, they often do not due to ag-Grid's default styling and the way CSS specificity works. Let’s break down a more effective approach to achieve styling in ag-Grid.

Step-by-Step Solution

1. Use the Appropriate Theme Class

When using ag-Grid, it is crucial to ensure that you are utilizing a theme. ag-Grid provides several themes (like Alpine, Balham, etc.), and you can easily set the font family for the entire grid by applying styles directly to the theme class in your styles.scss file. Here’s how to do it:

2. Adding a Custom Class for Font Size

After applying the font family to the theme class, you may also want to adjust the font size. For that, create a custom class and assign it directly to your ag-grid-angular component. Here is an example:

Next, define your custom class in your stylesheet:

3. Summary of Changes

To summarize, here’s what you need to do to apply the custom font styles:

Define your desired font family using the appropriate theme class in styles.scss:

For example: .ag-theme-alpine { font-family: "Open Sans", sans-serif; }

Include an additional custom class in your ag-grid-angular component to set the font size:

For example: .custom-class { font-size: 10px; }

Ensure your component has the necessary attributes and classes applied correctly.

Conclusion

By following these steps, you should be able to customize the font family and size for your ag-Grid in Angular 10 successfully. This allows for better integration of the grid with the rest of your application’s UI, ensuring a cohesive look and feel.
