Research direction

Start by reading the PercentField and Table APIs, then review related issues #34 and #30. Clarify whether formatter instances belong in fields during import or are configured only for export; the issue is done when the supported formatter workflow is specified and documented.

Description

enhancement rows.fields rows.table utils

Imagine a scenario: I want to format PercentField in a different way when exporting to txt.

Questions:

  • Should I create an instance of it and pass the instance into fields when importing the Table? Related to #34 and #30.
  • How can I specify these formatters when exporting (not importing)?

This is a bit analogous to Django form widgets.
