This plugin enables an option to apply custom borders through the context menu (configurable with context menu key borders).

To initialize Handsontable with predefined custom borders, provide cell coordinates and border styles in a form of an array.

See customBorders configuration option or go to Custom cell borders demo for more examples.

Example

customBorders: [ { range: { from: { row: 1, col: 1 }, to: { row: 3, col: 4 }, }, start: {}, end: {}, top: {}, bottom: {}, }, ], // or customBorders: [ { row: 2, col: 2, start: { width: 2, color: 'red', style: 'dotted' }, end: { width: 1, color: 'green', style: 'dashed' }, top: '', bottom: '', } ],

Options

customBorders

Source code

customBorders.customBorders : boolean | Array<object>

The customBorders option configures the CustomBorders plugin.

To enable the CustomBorders plugin (and add its menu items to the context menu), set the customBorders option to true.

To enable the CustomBorders plugin and add a predefined border around a particular cell, set the customBorders option to an array of objects. Each object represents a border configuration for one cell, and has the following properties:

Property	Sub-properties	Types	Description
`row`	-	`row`: Number	The cell's row coordinate.
`col`	-	`col`: Number	The cell's column coordinate.
`start`	`width` `color` `style`	`width`: Number `color`: String `style`: String	If the layout direction is LTR (default): `start` sets the width (`width`), color (`color`) and style (`style`) of the left-hand border. If the layout direction is RTL: `start` sets the width (`width`), color (`color`) and style (`style`) of the right-hand border.
`end`	`width` `color` `style`	`width`: Number `color`: String `style`: String	If the layout direction is LTR (default): `end` sets the width (`width`), color (`color`) and style (`style`) of the right-hand border. If the layout direction is RTL: `end` sets the width (`width`), color (`color`) and style (`style`) of the left-hand border.
`top`	`width` `color` `style`	`width`: Number `color`: String `style`: String	Sets the width (`width`), color (`color`) and style (`style`) of the top border.
`bottom`	`width` `color` `style`	`width`: Number `color`: String `style`: String	Sets the width (`width`), color (`color`) and style (`style`) of the bottom border.

To enable the CustomBorders plugin and add a predefined border around a range of cells, set the customBorders option to an array of objects. Each object represents a border configuration for a single range of cells, and has the following properties:

Property	Sub-properties	Types	Description
`range`	`from` {`row`, `col`} `to` {`row`, `col`}	`from`: Object `to`: Object `row`: Number `col`: Number	If the layout direction is LTR (default): - `from` selects the range's top-left corner. - `to` selects the range's bottom-right corner. If the layout direction is RTL: - `from` selects the range's top-right corner. - `to` selects the range's bottom-left corner.
`start`	`width` `color` `style`	`width`: Number `color`: String `style`: String	If the layout direction is LTR (default): `start` sets the width (`width`), color (`color`) and style (`style`) of the left-hand border. If the layout direction is RTL: `start` sets the width (`width`), color (`color`) and style (`style`) of the right-hand border.
`end`	`width` `color` `style`	`width`: Number `color`: String `style`: String	If the layout direction is LTR (default): `end` sets the width (`width`), color (`color`) and style (`style`) of the right-hand border. If the layout direction is RTL: `end` sets the width (`width`), color (`color`) and style (`style`) of the left-hand border.
`top`	`width` `color` `style`	`width`: Number `color`: String `style`: String	Sets the width (`width`), color (`color`) and style (`style`) of the top border.
`bottom`	`width` `color` `style`	`width`: Number `color`: String `style`: String	Sets the width (`width`), color (`color`) and style (`style`) of the bottom border.
