[RHCLOUD-48734] Add traditional expandable row support to DataViewTable by katarinazaprazna · Pull Request #681 · patternfly/react-data-view

Summary

Add support for traditional expandable rows
Traditional expand renders a dedicated toggle column as the first column
No breaking API changes: columnId on ExpandableContent changed from required to optional, existing consumers with columnId get identical compound behavior
Add examples and documentation for both expand types

Assisted-by: Claude Code

To be consistent with a simple expandable row pattern from PF,

remove grey background and
Change the orientation of the caret according to the new PF update (default facing down, opened facing up)
Follow this behaviour for the caret https://www.patternfly.org/components/table/react-demos/expandcollapse-all/ - grey background at the click and the hover
It would be great if you could add support for "Expand all" (caret in the column header section)
