Blueprint: iOS Safari column resize not working

[k1tzu]

Bug report

• __Package version(s)__: 2.0.0
• __Browser and OS versions__: iOS 11.1.2

Steps to reproduce

Open http://blueprintjs.com/docs/v2/#table/api.table in iOS Safari
Try to resize a column

Actual behavior

The row with header cells is moving

Expected behavior

Column is resizing

ps
do I need to open a separate issue for "Touch and hold on ColumnHeaderCell doesn't act like right-click?"

[llorca]

yes, please open a separate issue for each feature request.

also please note that according to our README header, Blueprint is optimized for desktop apps. it hasn't been fully optimize for mobile usage, therefore if you rely heavily on mobile interactions and are looking for a mobile-first UI toolkit, Blueprint may not be the right tool for you.

@k1tzu reiterating what @llorca said above: Blueprint is a desktop UI library, so most components do not support touch events out of the box. the table was decidedly _not_ designed for mobile so this behavior is basically by design.

if you're keen on mobile support for the table, we'll happily review PRs. but i'd kinda urge you not to do that, as the table package is _very_ complex and likely to be replaced soon (spoilers).

prior art: #265, in which someone submits a PR to add touch support for Slider (still the only component with actual touch event support).

It's 2018. Desktops are nearly past. I wasn't expecting the solution to be "desktop only" Several weeks of development based on your UI goes down the drain.

• Read. It's literally in the intro of the README.
• Contribute. Make Blueprint mobile-friendly.
• Don't be rude. This software is free, open source, and provided as is.

• Yes this is all my fault. I never read intros. Straight to examples and API.
• "table package is very complex and likely to be replaced soon" - so no point to contribute as I see.
• We're natively not very polite here in Russia. Sorry for that. I really liked the package more than any other I looked at here on github. It looks better than anything alike. You did great.
