Comment 8 for bug 1778311

The link Ruth provided is very useful, with a caveat - the eg Grid is designed to be reliant on divs, rather than using HTML tables. I have a WIP branch here that's beginning to implement draggability in the grid, and shifts the grid over to tables:

Moving things over to using HTML tables is proving tricky, as to get draggable resizing to play nicely, there will be a few tweaks needed to apply to the structure of the grid - shifting some parts from the header and body into the grid proper. This link goes into one of the pitfalls that can happen with Angular components and HTML grids: https://medium.com/javascript-everyday/when-to-use-an-attribute-selector-for-angular-components-7e788ba1bfe7

I'm unsure if dragged size changes would be savable, but I believe the switch to HTML tables will be worth it - an added benefit would be easing the ability to add screenreader support.
