feat: autowidth atomic columns #1540

skokenes · 2023-12-06T14:35:08Z

Adds auto width to fit of numeric and string columns:

result set is analyzed to find min/max numbers, shortest/longest strings in each relevant field
when rendering a field, the fixed width is determined by measuring the rendered text of the min/max value in a canvas element. This is compared against the size of the column header as well. The final width value is cached per field
Column widths are also clamped to a min and max size. For now these are clamped with hardcoded values but in the future we may explore doing something smarter based on available real estate
