On a related note, I’m wondering how folks make nice tables in @observablehq with similar quality to reactable or gt in #rstats? I know of tan stack table, but wondering if there’s anything similar to how Plot offers a lot of JS equivalent functionality to what ggplot2 does in #rstats?
@mrworthington @observablehq Bit of a left-field suggestion here: if you have the data generated, you could potentially just generate the table HTML directly with Observable's HTL. So something like this: https://observablehq.com/@jimjamslam/hypertext-literal-table
Hypertext Literal Table

Observable's HTL can do more than quick value formatting: it can generate entire blocks of HTML or SVG. For example, let's turn some data into a custom table with a grouped header. Here's some sample data that we might've loaded from a CSV:

@observablehq @jimjamslam not left-field and I appreciate it cause it does help me answer my question in part. I would say I’m primarily interested in interactive tables, which Inputs.table() helps with. I could be wrong, but it seems to be missing features like grouping rows by a column, column formatting, and more dataviz options for numeric columns. It may be also already be there and not well documented, but just striking out a lot and seeing if anyone else has ideas.
@mrworthington @observablehq Makes sense! This is just raw HTML, so grouping, formatting options are all possible but have to be manually written in HTML

@jimjamslam @mrworthington @observablehq this example doesn’t really do tabulator justice since it is loaded with features https://observablehq.com/@fil/hello-tabulator

You can even feed it an html table. I will try to work up some examples.

Hello, Tabulator
