Topic: Datatable cell wrapping
Hello, I am creating a datatable with 8 columns. Two of these columns have strings of ~40 characters. I need be able to show the full string by wrapping the text within the cell.
Expected behavior
With a column width define, the cell text is wrapped to fit. Where it wraps (between words, on whitespace, hard character split) is not particularly important for this application, but wrapping on whitespace would be nice.
I have tried manually wrapping by inserting
at appropriate locations in the string. This does cause the text to wrap, but it is still being truncated.
Actual behavior Text outside the column width (or perhaps with some preset constant) is truncated with "..." on the end.
Resources (screenshots, code snippets etc.) The example on the website will work fine for demonstration, So take the table here, I would like the entire message to be displayed as wrapped text.
Try to add this in your styles:
.datatable table td, .datatable table th {
text-overflow: unset;
max-width: unset;
}

Works perfectly, thank you :) I have another function that parses the strings and inserts
tags in the appropriate whitespace to cleanly wrap the cell. Might be an idea for another option ... like "fixed", if a "width" is defined, one can specify "wrap" that will wrap the cell contents.

We will consider adding such an option.
