footerRenderer does not render without a truthy value from footerDataGetter

[MarPur]

I'm trying to use footerRenderer property to render custom content in the table's footer, but the function does not seem to do anything. Is the functionality not working or am I missing something obvious?

The result that I get:

There is a fixed space created at the bottom of the table, but nothing appears there.

I'm using React 0.13.3 with Fixed Data Table 0.3.0.

Thanks

@Martynas-P sorry about the slow response! As @davidxi mentions in his PR, this is because we currently expect a footerDataGetter to return a truthy value (some kind of data) to determine whether or not we want to render a cell and use the footerRenderer function provided.

I've categorized this as a bug and a need to fix documentation, as this behavior should mimic that of the header, and this should be mentioned in the docs.

However, in future versions ( #155 ) we may be looking for an alternate API to render this table that doesn't depend on the link between the data getters and renderers.

Hello,

Is there a reason why the issues which are most likely related to old versions of fixed-data-table are open? The lib seems nice but the lack of documentation is making usage really hard.

I browsed the source to discover how to specify the footer which in most recent version (now being 0.6.3) is by specifying footer property on Column component...

Thanks,
