Accessor Functions

[enaluz]

My proposal is that the accessor prop for a column can either be a string or a function. Using a plain string is not type-safe. Using a function could be made type-safe. Example usage:

type Car = {
  make: string;
  model: string;
  owner?: {
    firstName: string;
    lastName: string;
  }
};

<DataTable
  columns={[
    { accessor: (car) => car.make, title: "Make" },
    { accessor: (car) => car.model, title: "Model" },
    { accessor: (car) => car.owner ? `${car.owner.firstName} ${car.owner.lastName}` : "n/a", title: "Owner full name" }
  ]}
  records={cards}
/>

I'm happy to work on this and make a PR if this is useful for other people too. For now, I plan to use patch-package for myself.

Nevermind-- realized that the render prop addresses this problem, silly me!
