Is there a way to express the colHeader label in the columns setting?

Is there a way to express the column header directly in the columns settings?

  colHeaders: [
    'A',
    'B',
  ],
  columns: [
    {
      data: 'a',
      type: 'text',
    },
    {
      data: 'b',
      type: 'numeric',
    },
]

It’s always an extra check to remember to update headers if we update columns.

colHeaders: [
‘A’,
‘B’,
],
columns: [
{
data: ‘a’,
type: ‘text’,
},
{
data: ‘b’,
type: ‘numeric’,
},
]

You can use title inside columns.

Here’s an example Handsontable example - JSFiddle - Code Playground

Thanks!

I figured it must be undocumented, but it is there:

• https://handsontable.com/docs/7.0.2/Options.html#title

It’s a shame it’s not in the columns section.

Is this an inherent limitation of the documentation system?

[aleksandra_budnik]

It’s a lack in our docs. Some of the options there can be used on all the levels (instance > columns > cells) but some work only for the instance (like fillHandle).

Documentation is hard
