vaadin grid columns.headerContent does not override name attribute

is setting the header content still supported?  Here is how i am setting and name is always in the header

this.$.grid.addColumn(
{
  name: columnDef.metadataKey.fieldName,
  sortable: true,
  headerContent: "Something other than name"
}
);

also tried

'this.$.grid.columns[index].headerContent = "SOMETHING OTHER THAN NAME";'

Hi Jason.

The header API was changed in 1.0.0-beta1: https://github.com/vaadin/vaadin-grid/releases/tag/1.0.0-beta1

cool thx, its still in the new API documentation here https://cdn.vaadin.com/vaadin-core-elements/latest/vaadin-grid/ for the column object

Well that’s embarrasing… thanks for pointing it out!

I removed it from master. I’ll ask someone to update the online docs also.

Docs at https://cdn.vaadin.com/vaadin-core-elements/latest/vaadin-grid/ are now also updated accordingly. (might take a few hours for the caches to update)

hi, all! 
thank
This post has saved my life :)

if you need past my code in angular 2

 for (var col in this._columns) {
this.el.nativeElement.addColumn({ name: this._columns[col] });
this.el.nativeElement.columns[col].sortable = true;

if (this._columns[col] === 'novelty') {
// Add a renderer for the picture column
this.el.nativeElement.columns[col].renderer = function(cell) {
// PUBLISHED
if (cell.data === true) {
cell.element.innerHTML = '<div style="background-color: green; -webkit-border-radius: 15px; -moz-border-radius: 15px; border-radius: 15px; border: 2px solid; width: 25px; height: 25px;"></div>';
}
// UNPUBLISHED
else{
cell.element.innerHTML = '<div style="background-color: darkred; -webkit-border-radius: 15px; -moz-border-radius: 15px; border-radius: 15px; border: 2px solid; width: 25px; height: 25px;"></div>';
}
}
}

this.el.nativeElement.header.getCell(0, col).content = this._translate.instant('contents.grid.' + this._columns[col]);
}
