Insert Rows and Columns

[glowkeeper]

With Handsontable, I can right-click on a column or row and insert a column or row. Is it possible to do something similar with Simple Table?

I've since seen the Column Editing example, but that's buggy - if you add some columns, then subsequently change the names of the column headers, you lose those changes when you add another column. The same thing happens if you change an original cell value. So it's not a good example.

I've tried adding the table to state (via useState) and adding columns and updating the table via a setState hook, but something cache-like (I think) is happening that I don't understand, because I'm only able to add a single column that way.

All I want to do is present an empty spreadsheet to my user, who can then add columns and rows, define column and row headings, and enter cell data; i.e., I want them to be able to create something entirely new, much like they can in desktop spreadsheet apps. Is that possible?

Hi @glowkeeper, Column editing and spreadsheet functionality is not a heavily used feature. So it is really great that you have been testing this! I can add this to our road map and will test this feature as well as make sure it works well with an empty spreadsheet. Feel free to join us on discord for more updates https://discord.gg/RvKHCfg3PC
