Have you tried the examples? Especially example 3-6 are all around ui_control and tabulator commands.
And then the ultimate resource is the tabulator docs! Make sure you selected Version 4.3.
Nearly everything shown there you can do with via ui-table either msg.ui_control (for styling) and msg.payload= {}. node-red-node-ui-table (node) - Node-RED
I don't know etable but the developper "DEPRECATED" the node almost 2 years ago. I think is acts similar but could not do much more for you.
For styling and how to use commands you might like to take a look here in the forum ... There is a ton of information starting from: Ui-table supports ui_control
And to do things simpler you might give my ui-table-handler a test. I recently made a demo and update for it
And last but not least this one. [Announce] remote device table (and collaboration wanted)
As I wrote before everything tabulator offers is possible when it comes to styling ... in this case you have to write your own formatter which is a simple callback function to style your cells
ui_control is the config object you pass to ui-table. The examples show how to use tabulator on the client side. As you control the client (dashboard) from a server (node-red) you have to pass everything through ui-table via msg.ui-control. The only challenge is to "translate" it into your js object or JSON or pass commands via msg.payload [Object]
msg.payload = {
command:"updateOrAddData",
arguments:[
{
"Label": "ROI",
"Investment 1": 999
}
],
returnPromise : false
}
}
Updates the ROI in investment 1 to 999 (and this is the command)
