Ideas that would fit in the core bundle

[Kreyu]

Have an idea that would fit in the core bundle? Add suggestions here, even without any code, maybe this will inspire someone and make the project better 😄

Operator::isNotNull to check whenever value is null nor contains anything, is it even possible?

  ->addFilter('repairDate', BooleanFilterType::class, [
      'label' => 'Repair provided',
      'default_operator' => Operator::isNotNull,
  ])

Great suggestion. I think it should be a completely different filter type, like NullFilter in SonataAdmin, and that would allow setting operator equals / not-equals to set IS NULL or IS NOT NULL.

Group rows!

Hey @easis, thanks for the suggestion. What would that look like? Do you have any examples?

ofc, see the good ol' datatables

Two ideas that could play well together:

• Vertical View Mode (maybe called layout, based on different layouts there could be different DataTableBuilder Types).
• Sections (already suggested by @easis as Group Rows, if I unserstand it correctly)

It would be great to have a way to show data in a vertical layout. I have form submissions with a lot of fields. Currently I'm showing the Index table where all form submissions are listed via a data table. Now I would like to build the detail page with a DataTable also. Currently it's rendered with twig and looking like this:

Show design

As you can see it also incorporates sections.

Another use case I could imagine is for comparison tables like this:

As you can see they also have sections/groups there.

For my current project I'll probably just add a "Section" column type and add a theme for my use case for now. But having the possibility in the core library would be awesome.

I also would understand if that use case is out of scope of the core bundle.
