Data Table Component

Data tables are powerful ways to display tabular data, like what you find in a CSV or SQL database.

Override the data property with the row-formatted data source (an array of objects with consistent keys). Often, this data is the result of a function (e.g. {{pgQuery1.data}}).

Data tables come batteries-included with support for:

Column controls (renaming, formatting, filtering, sorting)
Infinite scroll and pagination
Row selection / auto-advance
Downloading the underlying data (coming soon)
Custom cells (coming soon)

All data tables are virtualized and therefore remain performant when scrolling through large numbers of rows.

Properties

Visible

Prop	`isVisible`
Type	`boolean`
Default	`true`

Whether or not this node is visible.

Enabled

Prop	`isEnabled`
Type	`boolean`
Default	`true`

Whether or not this node is enabled.

Tooltip

Prop	`tooltip`
Type	`string`
Default	`undefined`

The tooltip text to display when hovered or focused over this node.

Top

Prop	`top`
Type	`number`
Default	`1`

The position of the node from the top side of the grid (grid-row-start).

Left

Prop	`left`
Type	`number`
Default	`1`

The position of the node from the left side of the grid (grid-column-start).

Width

Prop	`width`
Type	`string`
Default	`640px`

The width of the node. When this node is in a grid layout, this should be done using unitless grid column units (specifying 4 will become grid-column-end: span 4). When this node is in a stack layout, the width can be specified using CSS units (e.g. 100px or 100%), or be left unitless to be treated as flex-grow for the node.

Min Width

Prop	`minWidth`
Type	`string`
Default	`undefined`

The minimum width of the node. When this node is in a grid layout, this property is ignored.

Max Width

Prop	`maxWidth`
Type	`string`
Default	`undefined`

The maximum width of the node. When this node is in a grid layout, this property is ignored.

Height

Prop	`height`
Type	`string`
Default	`480px`

The height of the node. When this node is in a grid layout, this should be done using unitless grid row units (specifying 4 will become grid-row-end: span 4). When this node is in a stack layout, the height can be specified using CSS units (e.g. 100px or 100%), or be left unitless to be treated as flex-grow for the node.

Min Height

Prop	`minHeight`
Type	`string`
Default	`undefined`

The minimum height of the node. When this node is in a grid layout, this property is ignored.

Max Height

Prop	`maxHeight`
Type	`string`
Default	`undefined`

The minimum height of the node. When this node is in a grid layout, this property is ignored.
