useFlexLayout

• Plugin Hook
• Optional

useFlexLayout is a plugin hook that adds support for headers and cells to be rendered as inline-block divs (or other non-table elements) with width being used as the flex-basis and flex-grow. This hook becomes useful when implementing both virtualized and resizable tables that must also be able to stretch to fill all available space.

NOTE: Although no additional options are needed for this plugin to work, the core column options width, minWidth and maxWidth are used to calculate column and cell widths and must be set:

• minWidth is only used to limit column resizing. It does not define the minimum width for a column.
• width is used as both the flex-basis and flex-grow. This means that it essentially acts as both the minimum width and flex-ratio of the column.
• maxWidth is only used to limit column resizing. It does not define the maximum width for a column.

See Column Options for more information on these options.
