Glide data grid renderer for VSCode notebooks

Hi @schani, @jassmith, and contributors!

I am reaching out to see if you’d like to collaborate on adding your grid as one of the data output rendering options for VSCode notebooks.

You can read about Jupyter notebooks in vscode here: https://code.visualstudio.com/api/extension-guides/notebook

And custom notebooks and renderers in this post: https://code.visualstudio.com/blogs/2021/11/08/custom-notebooks

I would like to create a custom data grid renderer using your grid similar to the basic version I created this summer:

https://github.com/RandomFractals/vscode-data-table

I like that glide data grid provides search and many nice data formatting options with storybook examples.

Can I have your permission to use glide data grid in that custom renderer repo name and branding when I publish it in VSCode marketplace?

You can preview my work in that space here: https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/publishers/RandomFractalsInc

Public repo created for your data grid renderer: https://github.com/RandomFractals/glide-data-grid-renderer

I do prefer to maintain and publish them on my end, if you are open to that. Otherwise, I’ll probably rename it to data-glider with proper attributions in the intro section of that extension readme.md 🙂

I’ll try to get a PR ready for you this weekend! 😃

Sounds good. You can see how I wired Observable Inputs table in the data table renderer for example: https://github.com/RandomFractals/vscode-data-table/blob/main/src/renderer/dataTableRenderer.ts#L31

I added all the peer dependencies for your grid already. You can use dev build instructions I just added to that repo docs to build and run it: https://github.com/RandomFractals/vscode-data-glider#dev-build

Feel free to ref. this ticket I created for your grid integration in your commits and PR: https://github.com/RandomFractals/vscode-data-glider/issues/3

You can create new issues there if there is more to it.

Basic idea is to have your grid display loaded JSON array and CSV data when Data Glider output is selected in a vscode notebook cell 😉

You can just pull sample notebooks from data table renderer, and use Open Folder in vscode to view and load them when you run Data Glider renderer debug with F5.
