AG Grid - JavaScript field evaluation - Nested fields

[bapowell]

Referring to Tutorial-Grids-FieldEvaluation, this currently only handles fields at the top level of the options dictionary.

An improvement would be to handle nested fields that need to be JavaScript-evaluated.

An example would be formatting functions defined in columnTypes and/or columnDefs.

Yes, in the new version (coming out in a couple of days), this is implemented. Every field that has formatter in its name, is evaluated as a javascript expression.

formatter is currently only in a comment:
#TODO: Handle formatter functions, for example in dataLabels and others.
in chartcomponents

future idea or next milestone?

[elimintz]

I believe @rodja suggested separating issues with components from the core functionality and stability. I think we should focus on the latter. AgGrid has so many features, it would be a big task to accommodate all of them

@elimintz did that ever get incorporated in a release (that every field that has "formatter" in its name is evaluated as javascript)? I am currently trying to use the valueFormatter field but given that field is nested in grid options it is not working through the grid.evaluate call.

@WolfgangFahl can we incorporate this into this release as well? Would you please kindly point us to the code where we should modify it?
