Feature request
Column class of the blueprintjs/table library should be generic to allow extending it.
Currently it is impossible to extend column in a straightforward fashion and with existing workarounds,
extended classes cannot be used in the JSX syntax directly.
I think changing the Column class declaration to something like that would make it much nicer:
export declare class Column extends React.PureComponent<T extends IColumnProps> {
static displayName: string;
static defaultProps: T;
}
Examples
A good example is even in your own docs/examples. Consider the sumo scores table example https://github.com/palantir/blueprint/blob/develop/packages/docs-app/src/examples/table-examples/tableSortableExample.tsx
Right now, to create a sortable columns there is a lot of workarounds to render those correctly, including a custom interface with a func that returns columns. If the Column was generic, you could simply declare a new interface with additional props that extends existing IColumnProps and create a new React component with them.
