This module is a naïve proof-of-concept for creating a custom Drupal 8 field type for the <editable-table> web component from the ELMS:LN LRNWebComponents monorepo, as a lightweight alternative to the HAX module.
😂 Good luck.
This is not intended to be used in production, so we are deliberately not packaging it as a production-ready module.
We are developing it in the context of a live D8 project, and do so by cloning this project inside our custom modules directory and adding it to the .gitignore for the outer project.
Once it’s there, enable the module using your favorite method and then create a field that uses it.
The edit button fires a JS alert, and we’re working on making it open the modal. After that will be connecting the actual JS.
If/when it works, we will decide whether to repackage it as a one-shot or try to expand to the more general case of using other LRNWebComponents (or other web components in general).
Depending on how that goes, the latter feels like a great candidate to become a contrib module at drupal.org. Watch this space.
This repo currently includes a copy of the <editable-table> web component, and through clever use of npm and associated scripts we expect to be able to build a distributable bundle to simplify what actually needs to be committed for production. We’re not opposed to taking advantage of Libraries API instead of including any of the other project’s code, but that also needs some work done to be ready for prime time.
