Allow a Stylekit "card" to be side-by-side with width=fit-content

arcanaxion commented 1 month ago

Description

Cards can have their width match the size of its content with #468, which is great for displaying metrics (among other things).

I'd like to position cards side-by-side, without needing to use a layout and explicitly defining the width of each element there.

Currently, I can use a layout and define the width:

from taipy.gui import Gui, Markdown

page_md_target = Markdown(
"""
<|layout|columns=10em 10em|

<|card|part|width=fit-content|
Metric 1
|>

<|card|part|width=fit-content|
Metric 2
|>

|>
""")

if __name__ == "__main__":
    gui = Gui(page_md_target)
    gui.run(debug=True, run_browser=False, use_reloader=True, dark_mode=False)

Which produces:

I want to create this without defining a width anywhere.

Solution Proposed

Maybe allowing a layout column to "fit-content" ("fc") is a possible solution? I don't like the extra nesting especially if I'm only showing 2 cards, but it makes sense and I can also use layout.gap to add space between the cards.

page_md_layout = Markdown(
"""
<|layout|columns=fc fc|

<|card|part|width=fit-content|
Metric 1
|>

<|card|part|width=fit-content|
Metric 2
|>

|>
""")

Impact of Solution

Needs to work with taipy.gui.builder / tgb also.

@arcanaxion @jrobinAV I am interested in this issue. Can you please assign this to me? I think I would need to look deep down into the Markdown module and how it translates string into actual GUI code. Then i would check for "fc" string and apply styles for width 100% to each child, so they can expand in their axis
