Description

Environment

  • Package version(s):
    "@blueprintjs/core": "^3.36.0", "@blueprintjs/table": "^3.8.18",
  • Browser and OS versions: Chrome latest Windows 1

Feature request

It's a really fundamental feature. The table should be responsive, i.e. it should take up 100% of the width of the screen and then can shrink down to certain sizes for tablet/mobile.

Examples

Similar to this one: https://github.com/palantir/blueprint/issues/969

But that was closed and is years old.

Research direction
Investigate the existing Table component in packages/table/src/ for its current width handling. Review the referenced issue #969 for previous discussion. Check if Blueprint provides responsive utilities like media queries. Propose a solution that adds a `responsive` prop to the Table component that sets width to 100% and adjusts column widths accordingly. Consider using CSS media queries or JavaScript based resizing.
