feat(tables): saved views with filter, sort, and column presets by TheodoreSpeaks · Pull Request #5961 · simstudioai/sim

TheodoreSpeaks · 2026-07-25T07:05:38Z

Summary

Saved views on tables: name a filter + sort + column-visibility preset, switch between them from a View dropdown in the options bar
New Columns menu to show/hide columns, with workflow outputs nested under their group (hiding all of a group's children drops its spanning header)
Save button appears only when the current state diverges from the active view — ad-hoc filtering stays throwaway
Backed by a new table_views table; "All" is the absence of a view, so no backfill and the table is always reachable unfiltered
Gated behind the table-views feature flag (UI only — routes and migration ship ungated so a view saved during rollout survives the flag being turned off)

Type of Change

New feature

Testing

Tested manually. bun run type-check, bun run lint, all 11 CI audits, and check:migrations origin/staging pass. 29 unit tests across the views service, API contracts, and feature flags.

PR Summary

Medium Risk
Touches table query/layout state, URL sync, and new persisted config with merge semantics; auth follows existing table access checks, but view-switch and dirty-state edge cases are non-trivial.

Overview
Saved table views let users name and switch presets that bundle filter, sort, column visibility, and grid layout (widths, order, pins). "All" stays the default unfiltered state; views are optional rows in a new table_views table with JSON config, workspace-scoped auth on new list/create/PATCH/DELETE routes, server-side configPatch merges for concurrent layout writes, and pruneViewConfig on read when columns disappear.

The table detail UI gains a Views dropdown (create/rename/delete, URL ?table-view=), a Columns show/hide menu (workflow groups nest with parent toggles), and a Save / Save as view chip when live state diverges from the active view. Resource.Options adds asideEnd and trailing slots for that bar layout. TableGrid respects hiddenColumns, seeds layout from the active view via viewLayout / onPersistLayout, and auto-appends new columns to stored order when a view is active.

Rollout is gated by the table-views feature flag (UI + fetch only; API and migration ship enabled so saved data survives flag-off). Embedded mothership tables keep the old bar when the flag is off.

Greptile Summary

This PR adds feature-flagged table saved views.

Persists named filter, sort, hidden-column, and column-layout presets.
Adds view and column menus plus create, rename, update, and delete flows.
Introduces table-view API contracts, query hooks, storage service, schema, and migration.

Confidence Score: 3/5

The PR is not yet safe to merge because saved layouts can still be captured stale and undo or redo can persist layout into the wrong storage scope.

A new view can copy lagging activeView.config instead of the grid's accumulated live layout, and the undo subsystem still bypasses the active-view persistence sink by mutating shared table metadata directly.

Files Needing Attention: apps/sim/app/workspace/[workspaceId]/tables/[tableId]/table.tsx, apps/sim/app/workspace/[workspaceId]/tables/[tableId]/components/table-grid/table-grid.tsx, apps/sim/hooks/use-table-undo.ts

Important Files Changed

Filename	Overview
apps/sim/app/workspace/[workspaceId]/tables/[tableId]/table.tsx	Coordinates saved-view state and persistence, but the prior layout-capture issue remains reachable while a layout patch is in flight.
apps/sim/app/workspace/[workspaceId]/tables/[tableId]/components/table-grid/table-grid.tsx	Adds view-owned layout seeding and persistence routing, while the previously reported undo bypass remains unresolved.
apps/sim/hooks/use-table-undo.ts	Undo and redo continue to write layout fields through the shared table-metadata mutation.
apps/sim/lib/table/views/service.ts	Implements validated view persistence and server-side JSONB patch merging for independently owned config fields.
packages/db/migrations/0271_table_views.sql	Adds the table_views persistence table and supporting constraints and indexes.

+      applyViewConfig(null)
+      return


Deleted view leaves filter stuck

High Severity

The view resolution effect has an early return condition (seededViewIdRef.current === activeViewId) meant for view creation. This condition also triggers when the active view is deleted externally, preventing cleanup. As a result, the filter, sort, and hidden column states from the deleted view remain applied, while the ViewsMenu incorrectly shows "All".
