Column config.size in ch units instead of px

[eboye]

Is it possible to add feature for column size to be in other units other than px?
Here's my current column setup:

config: {
                size: 118,
                name: 'Ticket code',
              },

What I have in mind is to use ch units. Where in this case I would like to setup size as 12ch. It could be for example:

config: {
                size: '12ch',
                name: 'Ticket code',
              },

where there would be problem with typescript types as it would be impossible to check if the string is valid. Or:

config: {
                size: 12,
                size-unit: 'ch', //default in px and it could have specific typecheck to supported units.
                name: 'Ticket code',
              },

hi @eboye
thanks for the idea, yes, it totally makes sense, it's just more complex hence everything in the grid is based on px such as scroll size, transforms etc
I think the easiest way would be to convert ch to px on your side and set it as column width
Also there is a column auto size feature, probably can be the one you are looking for
