Programmatic constraints on Data Tables

Feature Requests
#1

It would be super useful to be able to put programmatic constraints on columns in tables. Such as ensuring a Number column that is meant to represent cost_per_unit_in_usd, is always a positive number.

Even if it’s not full programmatic support, some real simple canned constraints like IS_POSITIVE dropdown would be infinitely better than what currently exists.

And no, I don’t want to litter my code with checks, that’s the whole point of this request, so don’t suggest it please.

It might be worth checking out the validator dependency that abstracts away some of this code.

Is there a way to implement this by myself? Some sort of plugin that I can add on top of the data tables service?

The ORM library might give you a running start on an abstraction library sitting on top of data tables, where you can put those sorts of checks: Anvil ORM Library
