Danny WhiteandJoshen Lim 64c37ca72b chore(studio): database tables UI improvements (#44163)
## What kind of change does this PR introduce?

UI improvements

## What is the current behavior?

- The database tables list and columns list use inconsistent page shells
and table primitives
- The child columns page has weaker information hierarchy and row
actions than the parent tables page
- Responsive column priority on the tables list does not reflect the
most important data on smaller breakpoints
- Table actions and counts are harder to scan than they should be

## What is the new behavior?

- Both pages now use `PageLayout` with matching large-width content
containers
- `ColumnList` now uses the latest `ui` Table primitives instead of the
legacy cleaned-up-later table
- Both pages now show totals in a table footer
- `ColumnList` now uses a tiny filter input, case-insensitive filtering,
inline descriptions under the name, and a primary `Edit` button with
overflow actions
- `TableList` now has improved responsive column priority:
  - smallest breakpoint keeps `Rows`
  - `Columns` appears from `sm`
  - `Size` appears from `lg`
  - `Realtime Enabled` appears from `2xl`
- `TableList` now uses `View columns` as the CTA, removes the ambiguous
icon from that CTA, restores the entity icon from `sm` upwards only, and
tightens the name column on the smallest breakpoint only
- Boolean icon columns are right-aligned consistently, with the same
Realtime icon tones applied to both `Realtime Enabled` and `Nullable`
- The columns detail page now uses breadcrumbs for navigation back to
Tables instead of an inline back button

Writing components

Where to create your components

  • For components that declare the general structure and layout of a page:
    • /components/layouts/xxx
  • For components that are tightly coupled to a specific interface:
    • /components/interfaces/xxx
  • For components that are meant to be reusable across multiple pages:
    • /components/ui/xxx
  • Note: We're gradually moving files out of the to-be-cleaned folder into the respective folders as we refactor

Component structure

  • If a component has constants and utility methods that are tightly coupled to itself, keep them close to the component and enclose them in a folder with an index.tsx as an entry point
  • Otherwise it can just be a file on its own
  • For example:
    • components/ui
      - SampleComponentA
        - SampleComponentA.tsx
        - SampleComponentA.constants.ts
        - SampleComponentA.utils.ts
        - SampleComponentA.types.ts
        - index.ts
      - SampleComponentB.tsx
      

Template for building components


// Declare the prop types of your component
interface ComponentAProps {
  sampleProp: string
}

// Name your component accordingly
const ComponentA = ({ sampleProp }: ComponentAProps) => {
  return <div>ComponentA: {sampleProp}</div>
}

export default ComponentA
