I took a look at this, and opened a PR to resolve here:
https://github.com/xh/hoist-react/pull/2890
The above PR allows the store to created the field the same as if it was defined using the string form. However, it should be noted that neither will create a typed store field. Dot-delimited fields are always handled in the store as untyped root fields (i.e. in the above example, what you actually end up with on the store is a levelOne
field of type AUTO). This means that there's currently no way to provide a type to nestedField
. I think addressing that is beyond the scope of this ticket, just something to be aware of as it may lead to unexpected behaviour throughout the app.
RE-opening this and reverting the merge after discussion with Tom. We did not want to merge this as we think it really is not helpful to just ignore the user specified type quietly. Reopening ticket for a more expansive discussion
When using a dot separated field path to specify a field on a column, it must be specified using the string form of the field:
field: 'levelOne.nestedField'
Using a a config for a typed store field as a dot-separated path causes the value in the column to be null:
field: {name: 'levelOne.nestedField', type: FieldType.NUMBER}
