How to populate JSON data using ngx-datatable in angular 4

Question

I am new to Angular 4 and i am trying to implement the ngx-datatble by following the approach defined in ngx-datatable github and i am able to populate the table, however my confusion starts when i am trying to populate the data from a JSON object. The row and column array are bonded with the "name" property and same is being shown as header. But in actual JSON we will have camel-case naming convention.How to populate that data with proper header.

Please advice, any help would be appreciated..!!!

Thanks in Advance

Please find my code below:

HTML

<div>
 <ngx-datatable
 [rows]="rows"
 [columns]="columns">
 </ngx-datatable>
</div>

TS File

rows = [
 { Firstname: 'Austin', gender: 'Male', company: 'Swimlane' },
 { name: 'Dany', gender: 'Male', company: 'KFC' },
 { name: 'Molly', gender: 'Female', company: 'Burger King' },
];
columns = [
 { prop: 'Firstname' },
 { name: 'Gender' },
 { name: 'Company' }
];

Target JSON

[{
 "firstName":"abc",
 "lastName":"xyz",
 "address_1":"lorem ipsum",
 "address_2":"and so on"
},{
 "firstName":"abc",
 "lastName":"xyz",
 "address_1":"lorem ipsum",
 "address_2":"and so on"
},{
 "firstName":"abc",
 "lastName":"xyz",
 "address_1":"lorem ipsum",
 "address_2":"and so on"
}]

Answer 1

columns = [
 { 
 prop: 'Firstname', // prop will bind to the json property
 name : 'First Name' // You can define the name here 
 // ( Column label. If none specified, it will use the prop value and decamelize it. )
 },
 { name: 'Gender' },
 { name: 'Company' }
];
