specs with "container" width do not render

[bbenzikry]

Hi there, thanks a lot for the work you put in, we use the extension every day 👍 As the title mentions, a simple spec with "width":"container" won't work. Do you think it would be possible to patch the CSS or the spec itself in that case? I can PR in a week or so if you don't have the time.

Hi Ben,

Is that container width setting new?

I have not updated to the latest vega or vega-lite libs.

Yeah, send me a PR if you know the fix.

Thanks

Great, I'll work on this next week, it probably boils down to setting a width or height on the spec's config. As for the setting, it was added a bit over a year ago as far as I can tell.

@bbenzikry is this still the case? I never got your PR to get containers width fixed.

Also, do you have a simple example or a screenshot that illustrates the container width issue?

[bbenzikry]

Hi @RandomFractals, sorry for the late response. I'll have a look at it next week and see if it still reproduces. I'll share an example if it does.

@bbenzikry oh, I see now. So, we'll need to set that view to container width. I'll look into it on the next vega libs update.

@domoritz do I need to set or pass view container width param for this to work in vega lite?

Thanks for the screenshots!

No, I think we read the size of the surrounding element. Take a look at a spec with container sizing in the Vega editor.

@domoritz will do on the next vega libs update.
