This is awesome! I'm really looking forward to a Dash component!

What would make it even more useful for me is the ability to do server-side aggregations. I know you've decided not to implement this in the jQuery version, but since it gets a major re-vamp, maybe there's room to re-consider?

I did leave a comment in the original jQuery issue tracker: https://github.com/nicolaskruchten/pivottable/issues/150

It would be perfect for Dash. If an interface which I described in that other issue existed, we could just hook up python callback to return aggregated data (given all the groupings and filters), and other callbacks to return unique values for filters.

@nirvana-msu I'm glad you're excited about this project! Server-side integration is something we're keeping in mind but it's not part of the roadmap just yet, so I can't commit to anything. Most likely if we do support server-side aggregation it will be Dash-specific, not general-purpose, at least to begin with.

[nirvana-msu]

Dash-specific integration would suit me as I mostly use Dash. But I guess, if designed correctly, it's not any harder to make it server-side -agnostic. Anyways, I'm not an expert in React (or js for that matter) so cannot help much, apart from relaying my experience in doing the same thing in java / Jide.

Hello, when are you going to add localization?

[nicolaskruchten]

Hi there!

I'm waiting for the API to fully stabilize, but it's high on my priority list!

Hi,

This looks great :)

I'm wondering if there's a way to see the underlying data of a chart component ? (for example, clicking on a bar and seeing a table of records that make up that bar)

thanks, Ricardo

[nicolaskruchten]

@rjst glad you like it! unfortunately that's not supported at the moment but I would accept a PR for it :)

PS: please create new issues rather than commenting on this one, as otherwise the notifications will get out of control here ;)

[debugpoint136]

Is click or double-click on a cell supported? I am looking for this feature https://pivottable.js.org/examples/mps_prepop.html in the React ported version. Many thanks!

[nicolaskruchten]

@debugpoint136 it's not supported yet but it should be relatively easy to submit a PR if you need this :)

[nicolaskruchten]

I'm locking this issue now... Please create new issues if you have roadmap questions :)
