I prefer to pass json to columns in data-table. You could use a custom Pipe as below -

# Component
tableColums = [
    { name: 'Title', prop: 'title' },
    { name: 'Actual Price', prop: 'actual_price', pipe: { transform: this.currencyPipe } },
    { name: 'Valid till', prop: 'valid_till.iso', pipe: { transform: this.datePipe } },
]

# HTML
<ngx-datatable [columns]="tableColumns"  [rows]='offers'
    ... # truncated for brevity
</ngx-datatable>

what is this.datePipe? and how do i transform timestamp to ‘MM/dd/yyyy’ format?
