Module layout updates

Retool added two new configuration settings that enable you to customize the layout of modules:

  • Height: Whether the default height of the module is automatic or fixed.
  • Overflow: Whether overflow content in the module is hidden or accessible via scroll.

When you configure these settings inside the module editor, the settings apply as the default values only to new module instances. Existing module instances are unchanged. You can also override these settings for a single module instance by changing them in the Inspector of the app that contains the module.

I great feature would be if components inside of the module can be set to auto height. I'd love to use plotly JSON charts within a module to create a re-usable custom chart library, but the issue is that my charts can only ever have 1 height in that case. The plotly component chart doesn't resize even if you change the module height in your app.

Auto height inherits the module's default height

Fixed height let's you re-size the module, but it doesn't fix the problem because the components within the module don't adjust height
