QTable columns default align

[robsontenorio]

Why current QTable columns default align is right?

Most of systems everything on tables are placed on left. For sure, number/money columns fits better on right. But left align is the 90% of default placement.

As to what prompted this decision, I can't answer. TBH, it would work better for me, as well, if the default alignment was to the left.

This would be easy to change, in this line:

quasar/ui/src/components/table/table-column-selection.js

Line 37 in 4b36ed6

const align = col.align || 'right'

But the question is do the authors want that.
If so, I could submit a PR to make thing easier, if not, we'll get by with align prop without problems.

It cannot be changed because it would mess all people that have not set it

Understood 🙂

Just curious, was there any particular reason behind the decision to choose right as the default or was it more of a judgement call for more colums to contain numbers than not, cause of the Material numeric alignment specs?

Well , maybe v3 where breaking changes are expected.

Thanks for answers.
