Configuring a type: JavaScript Data Grid Demo

One field, five presentations; the stored value never changes

createUnitType({ display, decimals, … })

This grid shows one stored field presented five different ways, with the underlying value never changing. It shows that display is a setting, not a rewrite, so you can change decimals, symbols or format without touching the data behind the column.
