Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. Currently you need to override the body cell to set auto-width, which is cumbersome if you're working with dynamically created columns.

Describe the solution you'd like Like you can set so many other properties for a column, it would be nice if you can set auto-width as well.

Describe alternatives you've considered Adding a general slot override for specific columns, having to add content manually as well.

Just add a q-table--col-auto-width class to classes and headerClasses props in the column definition.

I vote for re-opening this.

auto-width is already available on the low level components QTh and QTd, and the solution with q-table--col-auto-width is both inelegant and (most importantly) undocumented.

Adding auto-width to the column definition object solves both, and thus provides an elegant documented solution to a common problem.

@hawkeye64 would you consider reopening based on the reasoning above?

[hawkeye64]

Sure, sounds reasonable. I am going to let @rstoenescu weigh in. Seems like having an auto-width prop could certainly add the q-table--col-auto-width class where appropriate.

[JokerMartini]

Yeah this would be ideal to have an option to set this on the top level <q-table auto-width .../>

I agree that it would be helpful to find a better solution for this.

Is there any update on this feature request @rstoenescu ? And if the team don't want to implement it / doesn't have time - is it greenlighted for someone to make PR for it?
