fluid column width about react-base-table HOT 4 CLOSED

Hi, thanks for your detailed description, have you saw the screenshot of our internal table component built on BaseTable, we implemented the column toggling feature too

actually BaseTable supports flexible columns by default, so you only need to calculate if the total width is larger than the table, if so you set fixed={true}, or you could set to fixed={false} and then all the columns are flexible based on the flex layout, and the flex width is automatically based on flex: {flexGrow} {flexShrink} {width}, so if it's flexible, you could set all the columns' width to be 0 or any number and flexGrow={1}, or some with flexGrow={2}

hi @nihgwu Thanks for detailed answer too :) I saw the case but I'm not sure about why I can't use fixed and fluid columns together?

If I don't provide width prop for column then it's giving an error:

Warning: Failed prop type: The prop `columns[1].width` is marked as required in `BaseTable`, but its value is `undefined`. in BaseTable (created by DataTable)

yep yep, I'm calculating the column width if the total width is larger than the table as you can as a condition in my code:
if (expectedWidth > totalWidth) {

I think we can put this functionality inside base-table cause it could be a common case; using fixed and fluid columns together.

from react-base-table.

fluid column could be only available in Flex Mode(fixed=false), and it's available in by default, in Fixed Mode flexGrow=0 flexShrink=0 and could not be changed, in Flex Mode, by default flexGrow=0, flexShrink=1, you could set flexShrink=0 to make this column's width is fixed, if it's flexible, the width is not so important you could even set it to 0, so you you don't like width to be required, you could give it a default value in your DataTable, create your own Column and set defaultProps

I didn't make the Auto Mode builtin as in some case the users just want to keep in Fixed Mode even there are empty space, and that's not hard to implement from user land, and BaseTable is designed to be unopinionated, we could support that via plugins in the future

from react-base-table.

@nihgwu I got your point now, yep maybe I need to put this functionality in a different repository as react-base-table-fluid then we can just make it as a plugin to base-table.

we can define a minWidth for the default cause when user put 0 width for column then there's no way to see it on the screen.

I will try to make this ready then we can talk about on that like is there any disadvantage or a problem maybe
