Copy and paste #410

Open romicolman opened 1 month ago

romicolman commented 1 month ago

Problem description

Right now, it is not possible to copy content from cell/cells and paste it.

Steps to reproduce it

The user opens the ODE.
Go to ADD---FILE and selects a tabular file.
Once the ODE previews the data, delete content from one cell.
Try to copy content from one cell and paste it.

Suggested solution

Enable copy and paste. This will save a lot of time, especially when making changes in large tables.

Hi! Adding more context here :)

In the current version of the ODE, it is not possible to copy and paste content from cell to cell, but also from a range of cells.

In addition, I was wondering if it is possible to apply shortcuts here: Ctrl + C to copy and Ctrl + V to paste data.

Note: the cut function is also inactive. Do you want me to create a separate ticket for that @guergana?

Hello @roll @romicolman @pdelboca for this ticket there is a functionality included in our tables component to do it but I get this message in the console 😅 . I think that for the magnitude of this project and other features we may need it is worth investing in the Enterprise Edition. What do you think?

The price is a bit steep considering that there's a lot of functionality that is free... but why spend time trying to invent the wheel if this has already been developed and there may be a budget for it. https://reactdatagrid.io/pricing

@romicolman The enterprise edition doesn't seem to offer a cut function, though. We can try to implement these things ourselves for the project but I don't know if it's worth the time, specially if there's the option to settle for copy/paste and no cut functionality which can be done with copy and delete from the enterprise edition. This needs to be discussed with the team.

@guergana @roll and @pdelboca From the product perspective: while it is true the cut function is useful, let's first focus on enabling the copy and paste. What I can do is create a separate ticket for the cut feature and if we have time before the release of the stable version, we can handle it at that time.

@guergana @pdelboca and @roll let's discuss this today's stand-up. I think what @roll suggested on the Slack channel is a good way to go :)

@sapetti9 This is the issue we discussed yesterday.

Email sent to the ReactDataGrid team. I'll keep the issue "on hold" until I get a reply.
