Describe the problem
The newly updated Material Components widgets catalog (#8574) might have dropped a few widgets in the material
library that were introduced by pervious Material versions. One example is the DataTable widget. This widget is still part of the material
library and there's no plan to deprecate or replace it. Dropping the widget from the catalog is likely to make it harder to discover. In fact, the current Material widgets catalog is the second highest referrer to the DataTable
widget's API doc:
Expected fix
I propose the following steps to address the issue:
- Compare M2 and M3 on material.io and identify components M2 introduced but M3 didn't cover
- Identify related Flutter widgets
- Select or create widget preview images which fit the style of existing ones
- Add those widgets to the new Material widgets catalog page in an "Additional components from M2" section
