"Edit as Table" on custom format

IntelliJ Platform
1

Hi,

CSV files have a very useful “Edit as Table” feature, is is possible to make it work with custom file formats? I’d like to edit flat files as tables (using a BeanIO config that describes how fields are formatted). I’m wondering if the CSV feature can be adapted to browse other “data sources”.

Hi Bastien,
TableFileEditor has recently been moved from Database Tools plugin to the community sources:

Unfortunately:

  • they are not available in older versions, so you would have to copy their implementations to your plugin
  • it is not documented, so you will need to analyse how it works

Thanks Karol, that should be enough for a PoC :slight_smile:
