dynamic column width #34

Open ivozandhuis opened 3 years ago

ivozandhuis commented 3 years ago

Could the column width change dynamically depending on the amount of characters in a cell?

Hello @ivozandhuis,

At the moment the table decides the width based on the header and its values. When the table is wider than its viewport. It'll try and break the values at logical places (spaces, dashes, and slashes). So in a way it already tries to dynamically assign width.

Am I correct in assuming that this is trying to limit the size of the table in total? In which case, there might some other solutions we might want to look at like ellipsing the values or rendering them differently

@ivozandhuis I see a couple of options here: (1) word wrap, (2) character wrap, (3) ellipsis.

Is it ok if we apply ellipsis. A concrete example:

Yes, that would be fine. How much characters do we choose? The general use case would be a column with a 'description'. IMO that would imply more characters than in your example to keep logical unit.
