Use data_table also in jupyterlab, not only in colab? #971

Open Nestak2 opened 4 years ago

Nestak2 commented 4 years ago

@colaboratory-team @blois @katlyn-edwards I really love data_table, thanks for creating in for colab! But more often I need to use jupyterlab than colab and I wonder if I can easily install google.colab.data_table for jupyterlab? As an extension maybe? If not, are you considering making this possible in the future?

We don't have any immediate plans but I do think this is a reasonable request. There is a similar discussion on https://github.com/nteract/data-explorer/issues/6 where I shared a prototype of a similar approach for nteract's Data Explorer.

@Nestak2 I think you can use Qgrid in JupyterLab, which has similar functionality as data_table extension in Colab. Here's the page: https://github.com/quantopian/qgrid

@vivekpayasi Thanks for the hint! I have already found Qgrid, but it is having continuous issues with the installation, therefore I use for now tubitv/jupyterlab-extensions: https://github.com/Tubitv/jupyterlab-extensions

@Nestak2 Oh wow! I didn't know that nteract's data-explorer was available as a JupyterLab extension. Thanks :)

@vivekpayasi Yes, and there is a convenient installation file, so you don't have to go yourself through all the needed packages. Still, I would like to see data_table for jupyterlab, it offered the best sorting functionality I have seen so far
