What is the motivation / use case for changing the behavior? Is it (maybe already) possible to use a customElement within/as a HeaderComponent, just like a cellEditor?

I'm using still the old way through header-cell-template, but that is dropped in v9.

See underlying message:

ag-Grid: since v8, custom headers are now done using components. Please refer to the documentation https://www.ag-grid.com/javascript-grid-header-rendering/. Support for the old way will be dropped in v9.

• ag-grid-aurelia version: 8.2.0

• ag-Grid/ag-Grid-Enterprise version: 8.2.0

Any word on this? I noticed that the Angular wrapper has something that appears to support declarative header cell templates, was wondering if that's on the books for the aurelia wrapper

I will try to make a PR for this. @dmarini could you point me to the angular source code or give a link?

@mroseboom wait until @seanlandsman gives you a thumbs up. He may be in the middle of coding this

Hi,

Thanks for raising this. I've raised AG-776 our side to track this - you can view its progress on our pipeline page here: https://www.ag-grid.com/ag-grid-pipeline/

We'll update this thread with updates as soon as we have any.

thanks

@mroseboom @swalters I'll be starting work on this (and the other issues) today - apologies for the delay

[seanlandsman]

This has now been implemented - it'll be available in our next release

thanks
