Roadmap for V2.0

[nihgwu]

Here is the wishlist I'd like to have for the next major version:

• Don't use Grid for table header
• Replace react-virtualized with react-window replace react-virtualized with react-window #12
• remove deprecated lifecycles migrate to new lifecycles #10
• Dynamic row heights feat: add support for dynamic row height #170
• Make virtualization configurable
• A11y
• UT
• plugin support
• rewrite with TypeScript
• support custom children key

Breaking changes:

• use rollup to bundle package
• omit placeholders in rowRenderer
• rename tagName to as or elementType
• rename scrollToPosition to scrollTo
• rename headerRenderer to headerRowRenderer
• rename headerRenderer for Column to headerCellRenderer
• move AutoResizer to a separate package

Nice to have:

• better size calculation to support cell with borders Resizer line mis-placed when using padding/margin/borders on the cells #149

Hi @nihgwu ! I'm liking BaseTable so far! However it will only be useful for me if we have dynamic row heights. Where can I start to make this happen? I see it's dependant on #102, but it looks like that can still be a while.

[nihgwu]

I'm sorry @Gervwyk I'd say I won't start working on that until that PR is merged, I'm lot expert on this field, do you have any other ideas?

[Gervwyk]

No me neither. Just started looking at some of the code, do you think it would be possible to just achieve this via CellMeasurer? Similar to the way it's done in react-virtualized?

[nihgwu]

I think CellMeasurer is too heavy, that's why I didn't support that when BaseTable is built on react-virtualized

What do you thing about configuring react-draggable and make it lazy loadable ?

[nihgwu]

@zmitry any concern about that? I do have the plan to remove the dependency on react-draggable

[zmitry]

@nihgwu it's used only for column resizer so it might be useless for some cases where you don't need that feature. I don't mind to have it as dependency but it takes 1/3 of the table bundlesize, so it might be quire useful to be able to import it lazily only if you use it. If you want to remove that will solve my usecase also.

大佬 打算什么时候出新版本啊~~~~~

[nihgwu]

@Nokecy I don't see any MUST to bump the major version soon, until the dynamic row height dependency is resolved

First of all I just wanted to say that I really really like the react-base-table but am unable to use it right now for the following reasons. It also seems to me that those are issues that everyone will benefit from…

• Lack of documentation. The examples are great but they do not describe well what are the additional options or full usage of the particular feature. Not as easy to figure whatever you are looking at especially for the more complicated examples.

• I am not sure who is using the ellipsis in the cells and why would that be a default other than the table not being able to support auto row heights.

• If you use the rowHeight to modify the row height of the whole table the performance when displaying hundreds of rows, which is something that is supposed to be better, goes out of the window.

Please understand this is not a criticism of what you currently have but a request to make it easier for people to understand and start use it with enough basic features out of the box.
