Allow to declare DataGrid Column as Editable

[jersiovic]

Can editable and editor properties be used with GridColumn Element for harnessing those react-data-grid properties for editing data of a selected cell.
Adding those properties doesn't seem to have any effect on the underlying react-data-grid.
Is it on purpose for any reason?

Thank you

Adding editable data grid that seamlessly update the backing data model on the server will be a significant effort that require thoughtful design, so it wont' be in the initial release version of this library. It can be considered for future work if there's much demand.

So, what's your recommendation for working with editable data grids in a form with what dotnetify currently provides?
Maybe, is it to use my own element based of your DataGrid.js but specifically customize just for my use case with exactly the columns I need for my use case? Maybe harnessing BaseVM CRUD API http://dotnetify.net/core/api/crud ? Would this reduce considerabily the amount of effort?

Can you reopen this issue to allow others to show their interest on an editable DataGrid element for meassuring its demand?

This would be non-trivial if this involves automatically updating the backing model, but if the responsibility of this element is limited to just communicate changed data to the view model, then this would probably be less of an effort.

Just published a version that will allow editing of data grid cells, and also allow passing of react-data-grid editors. See updated documentation for details.
