Question: TwinColumnGrid 3.1.0 does not work for String type?

[tonyz0212]

Describe the bug

When I was using version 2.7.0,
I was able to do (availableItems is a list of String):

TwinColGrid<String> select = new TwinColGrid<String>(availableItems)
              .addFilterableColumn(String::toString, itemsDescription, "filter", true)
              .withSizeFull()
              .withDragAndDropSupport()
              .selectRowOnClick();

I am trying to make changes to adapt to 3.1.0 following the sample code:

final TwinColGrid<Book> twinColGrid = new TwinColGrid<>("TwinColGrid no binding demo and drag and drop support", availableBooks)
	.addColumn(Book::getIsbn, "ISBN")
	.addColumn(Book::getTitle, "Title")
	.withLeftColumnCaption("Available books")
	.withRightColumnCaption("Added books")
	.withoutAddAllButton()
	.withSizeFull()
	.withDragAndDropSupport();
twinColGrid.setValue(selectedBooks);

I changed my code to:

 new TwinColGrid<String>(availableItems)
               .addFilterableColumn(String::toString)
              .withSizeFull()

but it says The method withSizeFull() is undefined for the type FilterableTwinColumn

Is it possible to use the TwinColumnGrid for String on version 3.1.0?

Hello. Please see https://addonsv24.flowingcode.com/twincolgrid/filterable

addFilterableColumn now returns a FilterableTwinColumn instead of TwinColGrid. This allows a more familiar pattern of use (closer to Vaadin's Grid)

TwinColGridAddon/src/test/java/com/flowingcode/vaadin/addons/twincolgrid/FilterableDemo.java

Lines 44 to 54 in 3a797f4

	final TwinColGrid<Book> twinColGrid =
	new TwinColGrid<>(availableBooks)
	.withAvailableGridCaption("Available books")
	.withSelectionGridCaption("Added books")
	.withoutAddAllButton()
	.withSizeFull();
	twinColGrid.addFilterableColumn(Book::getIsbn).setHeader("ISBN")
	.setFilterPlaceholder("ISBN Filter").setClearButtonVisible(true);
	twinColGrid.addFilterableColumn(Book::getTitle).setHeader("Title")
	.setFilterPlaceholder("Title filter").setClearButtonVisible(false);

In case you want to minimize changes in your application, LegacyTwinColGrid still supports the old methods, and it attempts to preserve the API of TwinConGrid add-on 2.x.

I acknowledge that version 3.x introduces several breaking changes, which is something we generally try to avoid. It has been a long way since we released 2.0.0 almost 6 years ago.
