[Question] Setting table formatting though $invokeObject

[abishur]

I have a table that I am updating through an SQL query. I tried to preset the column widths, but when I update the table using $invokeObject it resets the table to the default widths.

What are the variables available to a table to set things like widths and fonts and colors? Also, is there an option to let my table's columns widths be adjustable at runtime?

@abishur I have the same issue also, I spoke to @unocelli about this and you can pass all the parameters each time, but not ideal. Would be great if you could set the table up as normal and just invoke the data.

The other issue you may run into is if you use the select in the table, you can only execute a script and pass the select data, ideally being able to set a tag and returns an array for each column and it's data.

Do you know what parameters are available? I couldn't find any information.

@abishur as you can see here there are static values defined and they will override the settings in the table:

    setTableAndData(tableData: TableData) {
        this.setOfSourceTableData = true;
        if (tableData.columns) {
            this.displayedColumns = tableData.columns.map(cln => cln.id);
            this.columnsStyle = tableData.columns;
            tableData.columns.forEach(clnData => {
                let column = clnData;
                column.fontSize = tableData.header?.fontSize;
                column.color = column.color || tableData.header?.color;
                column.background = column.background || tableData.header?.background;
                column.width = column.width || 100;
                column.align = column.align || TableCellAlignType.left;
                this.columnsStyle[column.id] = column;
            });
        }
        if (tableData.rows) {
            this.dataSource = new MatTableDataSource(tableData.rows);
        }
        this.bindTableControls();
    }

You can use any of these values when you create the table payload data. I have just tried rows, but does not work. The logic in the section needs to be adjusted to ignore the columns if no data is passed and use what has been set in the editor and only pass the row data.
