I’ve had similar love/frustration feelings about the DataTable component after working on an app recently that makes heavy use of it and running into a number of rough edges that have at times made wonder if the component just wasn’t ready for use in the app I’m working on.
This topic came up last month, and I put all my thoughts about the opportunities for improvement in the DataTable component that I identified into this post.
As I say in that thread, it’s pretty clear that the Dash team have put a massive amount of effort to get the DataTable to where it is, so I hope this doesn’t come across as overly critical!
I would dearly love to put some time into working on some PRs for these enhancements, but sadly don’t have the bandwidth at the moment. I’m hoping that will change sometime soon
