Hi Scott,
This is great feedback, thank you. I can understand the issue you are facing. I believe the style is coming from chiasm-layout, line 89.
The larger issue here is that there really should be two separate components, one that does nested box layout (this is chiasm-layout), and another one that simply injects components into existing divs (I think this is what you are looking for). I've been meaning to create this for a while. This issue might be a good catalyst, and it shouldn't be that difficult. I know @Arne-Pfeilsticker is also interested in this.
Thanks for the quick reply. I think you understand the situation perfectly, injecting the component into an existing div is what I need. I would be willing to take a crack at implementing this if you are interested. I see you have created a chiasm-injector project already, we can continue the discussion there if you like.
Cheers.
Great, thank you for volunteering to work on this. I would welcome your work on this. Let's continue the discussion over at https://github.com/chiasm-project/chiasm-injector/issues/2
Also, is the code for your DataTable module Open Source? That would make a great addition to the Chiasm collection of modules. Here's what I have as a starting point for an HTML table Chiasm component, perhaps your implementation is similar.
I could open source it yes. My implementation looks fairly similar to yours on the surface. I have added a few features I needed such as being able to supply formatter callbacks for each column. Would welcome your input.
Closing, issues moved to:
First of all let me say thank you very much for your work on this project, I have learned a lot from it.
Not sure if this is a bug or user error. I have created my own Chiasm component called DataTable. This component uses d3 to build an HTML
<table>
. In the components constructor I doand then hang all the table stuff off this div.
I am following your Chiasm bootstrap example where you use the layout plugin to select the DOM elements. I want use the bootstrap grid system. The problem seems to be initDIV() sets the style of the div to be
style="position: absolute; left: 0px; top: 0px;"
which doesn't play nice with the bootstrap container.I think I could fix this by selecting the
containerSelector
value that I give the layout plugin in the component, but I am not sure how to do that.Thanks again! Scott
