Is TableTools required in Editor?

I searched for the answer to this, but could not find one.

It appears that the TableTools extension is required for the CRUD buttons and row selection when used with Editor. Is this the case, or is there a way to get these features without including the entirety of TableTools?

Thanks in advance,
JohnL

    You can use the Editor without TableTools. See here:

    Although this doesn't give you the CRUD buttons.

    As tangerine says, Editor makes use of close integration with TableTools, as TableTools provides two very useful features for Editor:

    • Row selection
    • Buttons that control the table

    Ultimately I plan to split TableTools into two libraries, one for each of those functions, but for the moment they are combined in a single library. You can use one, both or none. TableTools is not required for Editor if you don't want to use it - the Editor API provides everything needed to make your own editable buttons.
