Implements: #535 and jupyter-widgets/ipydatagrid#302

Automatically resizes the width of columns by double clicking on the barriers between column headers.

NB that this does not translate to the same code as the original.

Initially, the cellValue was procured from the corner-header, however, the config would refer to the column-header area. I guess that's a bug?

Thanks for starting this!

It's slow --It will kill your browser if you try it on a large column.

We could have a dedicated code path for very large columns (say > 1000 rows) with a heuristic. It could find e.g. 100 cells with longest text (by character count) and then only measureText width of these and take the maximum.

DataGrid._getConfig(dataModel, idx, index, 'body')
);

// Heuristic: Sort by the length of the text to render and only fully calculate the text width

I can decrease the number of selected rows or try using a heap/quickselect for getting the top-N elements instead if this is not adequate.

Update: MinHeap won't really help with performance. The main issue seems to be that getting the values of the cells is extremely slow. This is possibly accounted by the fact that the data is stored in a row-major form:

value = this._data[row][field.name];

I think that what I'm doing here is probably good-enough for now but can change it if you think that this is likely not adequate.

Issues I've looked into:

  • It's inaccurate --I'm reusing existing code to find the length of the text of a cell but it doesn't seem correct.
  • It's slow --It will kill your browser if you try it on a large column.
  • The code is a bit untidy but will fix that once we establish a direction.

An issue that I'm seeing on the side is that dblclick event seem to get dropped sometimes completely.

I don't think that this is an issue with my code as I observe the same behaviour in main. This prohibits the smooth function of the existing edit functionality that also relies on double-clicking cells.

Opened #547 for this.

Hi @krassowski,

Would you be able to have another look at this PR?

The CI seems a bit flakey at the moment. Do you know how I can rerun one of the builds?

I kicked the CI, will look at all the PRs by Monday.

Heads-up: we would like to gradually add tests for any APIs changed in datagrid (which will make reviewing easier and merging PR faster). I had started this in #585 and once it is in we could add a simple test for the APIs modified here too - I can help with this.

@krassowski, I made the changes suggested by your comments but I'm not sure how to best test my changes. The setup seems a bit too involved and I'm not very familiar with UI testing.

Would you mind merging without tests for now?

Thanks @vthemelis

@krassowski would you have time to help with testing this or is it ok to move forward?
