Hey @praveens96, I am also using ngx-datatable with Ionic. I had some difficulties linking the stylesheets but got it working in the end.

This is what I have in my 'src/app/app.scss' file:

@import '../assets/styles/ngx-datatable/index';
@import '../assets/styles/ngx-datatable/material';
@import '../assets/styles/ngx-datatable/bootstrap';

You need to rename the css files to .scss and prepend an underscore for Sass to import these files. For example in my ngx-datatable folder (under assets/styles) my files are called:

_index.scss
_material.scss
_bootstrap.scss

Hope this helps!

The same issue I faced while working with Angular (not ionic).
Even after doing that, it didn't work for me.
I had to use class='material' on the ngx-datatable element in the markup. Try adding it.
Hope it helps!
