Support for expanding rows in DataTable component

Open

• Live examples of how react-table supports expanding sub rows:

  • https://5lzof.csb.app/

  • https://tuu14.csb.app/ (with loading state to fetch additional data)

Notes:

• https://miro.com/app/board/o9J_lBKXkbI=/

• Gabe → How does this factor into Card view?

• Use cases:

  • Carla → Learning MFE (https://learning.edx.org/course/course-v1:edX+AC104+3T2019/progress )

• DJoy → This appears dense. Lets avoid building too much into the datable and make a franken-component

• Jeff → seems like tables are a slippery slope. at fidelity, if you expand a row the area that is reveals is a non-modal dialog. Was good for non-sighted UX.

• Adam → I think this needs some design work, but the use case/need makes sense

• Gabe → are there more use cases that would need to be reflected as tabular data.

• David → preserving the ability to sort on any of these fields may be valuable

• Adam → can we think of this as list items instead of table rows

1. Design will review/iterate and follow up on this proposal
