Hi,
The new grid feature is nice for general layout, but if you where to allow properties to be assigned to the hug/fill/fixed values of colums/rows as well as to the addition/subtraction of columns/rows and to row/column span- the grid would become much more powerful. This would allow me to create one grid component that is controllable using properties instead of having to create multiple custom grids depending on the content of the grid in a particular module/page of an application. You can obviously nest grids, which is something I’ve explored to try and solve some of this- where each cell contains another grid- but If one can dream I would also very much like to be able to have individual auto-layout settings for each cell in a grid (including grid) as well as being able to treat the column/ row as its own individual container e.g. place components in each cell of a row but then also place another component in the actual ROW.
We have a file explorer type grid in our application. Today it’s a custom grid built from column sub-components that contain rows with placeholders where we can instance swap in the cell-type components required. This allows us to set some columns to hug and others to fill as well as turn on/off rows and cells using property switches. It works but its demanding to understand the configuration, its slow, and all the nesting of components sometimes lead to problems when updating the underlying library and changes seem to have issues propagating. So looking forward to a unified grid feature to simplify the construction, but it would need these additional features for it to work. Thanks!
