Current behavior

Column width can be defined in pixels, but not %age

Expected behavior Allow possibility to define column width in terms of %age. Could be any of the following:

1. Add another input param [ColumnWidthPercent]=“50” translating to 50%
2. Change datatype of ColumnWidth to string

Reproduction of the problem N/A

What is the motivation / use case for changing the behavior? We want to develop some views where we want to control column width by percentage. Flex mode is good, but we want finer control over %age of column width.

Please tell us about your environment: Generic, applies to all

There are so many bugs with ngx-datatable. Its better to create own table component.

Does the developer of this component realise that responsive design has been a thing for more than ten years now? And we are having to use pixels to specify widths? Wtf…
