Gutenberg compatibility?

[helen]

We should make this plugin Gutenberg-compatible, either by extending the core table block or replacing it with a custom block. It's also possible that all this functionality should make it into the core block - will note that with the Gutenberg team as well.

Here's the functionality I've noted in the current plugin and where I think it should go in the Gutenberg paradigm:

Toolbar

• Dropdown button with multiple flyouts
  • Cell
    • Merge table cells
      • NOTE: Has modal when nothing selected
    • Split table cell
  • Row
    • Insert row before (exists with icon)
    • Insert row after (exists with icon)
    • Delete row (exists with icon)
    • — SEPARATOR —
    • Cut table row
    • Copy table row
    • Paste table row before
    • Paste table row after
  • Column (all exist with icons)
    • Insert column before
    • Insert column after
    • Delete column

Sidebar

• Table properties
  • Rows (this is currently only accessible when creating a new table)
  • Columns (this is currently only accessible when creating a new table)
  • Width
  • Height
  • Cell spacing
  • Cell padding
  • Border
  • Caption (checkbox)
  • Alignment (None, Left, Center, Right)
• Cell properties
  • Width

  • Scope (None, Row, Column, Row group, Column group)
