Some of my columns need explicit widths, while others should just fill up all

  • 0

Some of my columns need explicit widths, while others should just fill up all available space.

There is a forceFitColumns option, but it seems to ignore any explicit widths I’ve set. I want my explicit widths to be respected, and for implicit ones to be estimated sanely.

I guess to get this behavior I’d have to disable the default column width and rewrite autoSizeColumns to not mess up my explicit column widths. I can imagine a convention where you put in ‘*’ for the column width if you’d like it to be auto-sized instead of using the default. Has anyone made a fork that has this kind of feature?

    The “*” implicit width notation would be useful indeed.

    Meanwhile, you can also set minWidth and maxWidth on your explicitly-sized columns so that they are not resized by forceFitColumns.
