Here is my Data Service
import { HttpClient, HttpParams, HttpHeaders } from "@angular/common/http";
import { Injectable } from "@angular/core";
import { map } from "rxjs/operators";
import { Request } from "@angular/http";

@Injectable()
export class DataService {

  constructor(private http: HttpClient) {

  }

  public compData: Object[];
  public compColumns: CompData[];
  loadCompColumns() {
    return this.http.get("/api/CompDetails/GetColumns")
      .pipe(
      map((data: any[]) => {
        //console.log(data);
        this.compColumns = data;
        return true;
      })
      );
  }
  loadCompData() {
    return this.http.get("/api/CompDetails/GetData")
      .pipe(
        map((data: any[]) => {
          this.compData = data;
          return true;
        })
      );
  }
}
export interface CompData {
  field: string,
  headerText: string,
  minWidth: number,
  maxWidth: number,
  width: number,
  allowEditing: Boolean,
  allowFiltering: Boolean,
  allowReordering: Boolean,
  allowResizing: Boolean,
  allowSorting: Boolean,
  isFrozen: Boolean,
  visible: Boolean,
  format: string,
  columns: CompData
}

Here is my home.component.html
<ejs-grid #gridComp height='500px' [editSettings]="editSettings" [toolbar]="toolbar" showColumnChooser='true' allowResizing= 'false' allowTextWrap='true' [gridLines]='lines' (created)="gridCreated($event)" >
  
</ejs-grid>

Here is my home.component.ts file 
import { Component, OnInit, ViewChild, ViewEncapsulation, Input, Injectable, Inject, ElementRef } from '@angular/core';
import { DataManager, Query, UrlAdaptor, WebApiAdaptor, ODataAdaptor } from '@syncfusion/ej2-data';
import { GridComponent, EditService, ToolbarService, PageService, ColumnChooserService, EditSettingsModel, ToolbarItems, GridLine, Column, valueAccessor, ValueAccessor } from '@syncfusion/ej2-ng-grids';
import { EventArgs } from '@syncfusion/ej2-navigations';
import {DataService, AttorneyCompData} from '../shared/dataService'
@Component({
  selector: 'app-home',
  styleUrls: ['./home.component.css'],
  templateUrl: './home.component.html',
  encapsulation: ViewEncapsulation.None,
  providers: [ToolbarService, EditService, PageService, ColumnChooserService]

})


export class HomeComponent implements OnInit {
  public title: string = 'Attorney Comp';
  public lines: GridLine = <GridLine>'Both';
  public editSettings: EditSettingsModel;
  public toolbar: ToolbarItems[];
constructor(private data: DataService) {

  }
public columns: Object[];
  @ViewChild('gridAttorneyComp')
  public gridAttorneyComp: GridComponent;
ngOnInit() {
this.data.loadCompData().subscribe(successForData => {
          if (successForData) {

            this.gridComp.dataSource = this.data.compData;
            this.gridComp.allowPaging = false;
            this.gridComp.pageSettings = { pageSize: this.data.compData.length };

            this.data.loadCompColumns().subscribe(success => {
              if (success) {
                
                this.columns = this.data.compColumns;
                this.gridComp.columns = this.columns;

              }
            });
            
          }
        });
}
public gridCreated(test: EventArgs) {

    
  }
}

This keeps on generating error - 


if I hardcopy the columns that are returned from the web service in this.columns and assign it to the grid columns it works perfectly. But as soon as I go back to the web service to pull that data it errors out. I cannot use DataManager since I am doing some manipulation on columns on the grid and have to update one column at a time.

any help is greatly appreciated.

Hi Ameet, 
 
Thanks for contacting Syncfusion support. 
 
 
From schema definition the Grid can be rendered based on column or dataSource. So you must be define columns or dataSource for grid render. For your requirement we have created a sample “Grid with dynamic column render”. Please find the code example and sample for your reference. 
 
 
[app.component.html] 
 
    <ejs-grid [dataSource]='data' allowPaging='true' height=365 [pageSettings]='initialPage' [columns] = 'columns' > 
        
    </ejs-grid> 
 
 
[app.component.ts] 
 
. . . 
 
export class PageComponent implements OnInit { 
  public data: Object[]; 
  public initialPage: Object; 
  public columns: Object[]; 
 
  ngOnInit(): void { 
    this.data = data; 
    this.initialPage = { pageCount: 4 }; 
    this.columns = [ 
      { field: 'OrderID', headerText: 'Order ID', width: 120, textAlign: 'Right' }, 
      { field: 'CustomerName', headerText: 'Customer Name', width: 150 }, 
      { field: 'OrderDate', headerText: 'Order Date', width: 130, format: 'yMd', textAlign: 'Right' }, 
      { field: 'Freight', width: 120, format: 'C2', textAlign: 'Right' }, 
 
      { field: 'ShipCountry', headerText: 'Ship Country', width: 150 } 
    ] 
  } 
} 
 
 
Here we can define the dataSource and define the column in dynamic. 
 
 
Please get back to us, if you need any further assistance. 
 
Regards, 
J Mohammed Farook
