Select column

SelectColumn puts a <select> in the cell so operators can change the value without opening a form.

Editable columns (SelectColumn, TextInputColumn, ToggleColumn, CheckboxColumn) emit data-orbit-column-edit. On resource list hosts, orbit.js calls ListRecordsHost.update_column_state(record_id, column, value) to persist the change.

SelectColumn, TextInputColumn, ToggleColumn, CheckboxColumn
# persist via ListRecordsHost.update_column_state / orbit.js

Standalone example

from almasix.orbit.tables import Table, TextColumn, SelectColumn

table = (
    Table.make("posts")
    .columns([
        TextColumn.make("title").searchable(),
        SelectColumn.make("status").options({
            "draft": "Draft",
            "review": "Review",
            "published": "Published",
        }),
    ])
    .records(records)
)

Rendered markup includes the hooks Orbit needs:

<select class="or-select or-select-inline"
        data-orbit-column-edit="select"
        data-record-id="1"
        data-column="status">
  …
</select>

In a Resource example

from almasix.orbit import Resource
from almasix.orbit.tables import Table, SelectColumn, TextColumn

class PostResource(Resource):
    @classmethod
    def table(cls, table: Table) -> Table:
        return table.columns([
            TextColumn.make("title").searchable().sortable(),
            SelectColumn.make("status")
                .label("Status")
                .options(lambda record=None, **_: {
                    "draft": "Draft",
                    "review": "Review",
                    "published": "Published",
                }),
        ])

Options can be a dict or a callable that receives record / state — useful when choices depend on the row.

Persistence

On ListRecordsHost, override or rely on update_column_state to write the attribute back to your store. Client-side, orbit.js listens for change events on [data-orbit-column-edit] and posts through Conduit when a live wire is present.

Key methods

• .options(dict | callable) — value → label map
• .disabled(bool | callable) — lock specific rows
• .label(...) / .sortable() / .align_start()
• Markup: data-orbit-column-edit="select", data-record-id, data-column
