Enhancement Request - Tree Table

[sanfordandrew]

I'm hoping you might consider adding tree-table like functionality to infinite table, or have a way of replicating such with the existing grouping features.

If you have a datasource like this:

[{building:'building 1', floor:'one', office:'A', numOccupants:'5'},
{building:'building 1', floor:'one', office:'B', numOccupants:'1}, {building:'building 1', floor:'two', office:'F', numOccupants:'2'}, {building:'building 1', floor:'two', office:'G', numOccupants:'1},
{building:'building 2', floor:'one', office:'A', numOccupants:'5'},
{building:'building 2', floor:'one', office:'B', numOccupants:'1}, {building:'building 2', floor:'two', office:'X', numOccupants:'1},
{building:'building 2', floor:'two', office:'Y', numOccupants:'3}, {building:'building 3', floor:null, office:'M', numOccupants:'2},
{building:'building 3', floor:null, office: 'N', numOccupants:'1`}]

I have a single grouping column, and am grouping by building and floor.

Note that building 3 is a single floor building, so the floor attribute is null.

Is there a way to not render a row for the floor attribute for building 3? In other words, to make infinite-table behave more like a tree-table; if one of the grouping attributes is null, skip it?

Hi Andrew and thanks for your request and question.
You might be able to use filterFunction to filter out some rows without using column filters - but probably not ideal.
I'll have a think and come back with more solutions soon. The tree-table is definitely an area to explore for Infinite.

hi @sanfordandrew
we had a look at your request and put your code in a codesandox - can have a look at it here
Basically it's what other grids call "unbalanced grouping" - a functionality which is nice to have. It's not a full tree grid - a tree grid should offer more functionality besides just unbalanced groups.

While our community feature requests are lower priority than our commercial requests, we do plan to add support for unbalanced groups in the next 1-2 months. Hope this works well with your timing.

Thanks for using Infinite Table!

hi @sanfordandrew

we just shipped the tree functionality - see https://infinite-table.com/docs/learn/tree-grid/overview for details

Hope it fits your use-case well.
