[Python] Python Reflex (Pynecone) - data_table with checkbox in one column

I am trying to build a data table that includes a checkbox in the first column using python reflex to build web app front end interface.



This is an example table obtained with:

import reflex as rx

def index() -> rx.Component:

return rx.data_table(
data = data,
columns = ["A", "B", "C"],
pagination=True,
search=True,
sort=True,
)


I would like to add a checkbox as data_table first column. Unfortunatley when I try this it tells me that It cannot recognise data type, maybe data_table element cannot contain any checkbox element.

I thus tried to implement it using reflex.html and reflex.script that should include the possibility to write a native code in HTML and JS inside the code:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>Data Table with Checkboxes</title>
</head>
<body>
<h1>Data Table with Checkboxes</h1>
<table id="data-table">
<thead>
<tr>
<th>Select</th>
<th>Key</th>
<th>Value</th>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody id="table-body">
</tbody>
</table>

<script>
// Sample dictionary
var data = {
"item1": "Value 1",
"item2": "Value 2",
"item3": "Value 3",
// Add more key-value pairs as needed
};

// Get the table body element
var tableBody = document.getElementById("table-body");

// Loop through the dictionary and create rows with checkboxes
for (var key in data) {
if (data.hasOwnProperty(key)) {
var row = document.createElement("tr");

// Create a checkbox in the first column
var checkboxCell = document.createElement("td");
var checkbox = document.createElement("input");
checkbox.type = "checkbox";
checkboxCell.appendChild(checkbox);
row.appendChild(checkboxCell);

// Create cells for key and value
var keyCell = document.createElement("td");
keyCell.textContent = key;
row.appendChild(keyCell);

var valueCell = document.createElement("td");
valueCell.textContent = data[key];
row.appendChild(valueCell);

// Append the row to the table body
tableBody.appendChild(row);
}
}
</script>


Obtaining this:



I do not know how to fill this table with custom data, How can I communicate between front end and back end using reflex python ?
