Truly sorry if this has been asked before, I did search but couldnt see what I was looking for. I did look at toddle a while ago but its been a while so starting fresh. How possible is it to build spreadsheet functionality into a toddle app. Not so much the formula, more as a database structure for my users. They would need to be able to add a column selecting a format such as text, number ect. The columns would need to be drag resizable. I was just thinking about integrating with airtable or google sheets but feel that building a natuve solution would allow greater future flexibility. Thanks in advance

Hey, Tom. What you've mentioned would certainly be possible, although a challenge if you're just starting out. I'd recommend starting out small and determine what is absolutely necessary vs nice-to-have. Prioritise what you need to build and start with the first thing. If you can share any more details, someone in the community or toddle-hero crew might be able to offer some specific advice.

Search undefined for existing questions and ask away for things you come up against. Excited to see what you're building. 🙂

If you're looking at just building without a library for now, I did a video on building a dynamic table last year. Might give you some inspiration but won't be as anywhere near as flexible as something like AG Grid.

Disclaimer: The toddle UI has changed since, so slightly outdated in terms of UI and some functionality but should largely be applicable.
