Row class

Row class

Represents a table row. To learn more, visit the Working with Tables documentation article.

Remarks

Row can only be a child of a Table.

Row can contain one or more Cell nodes.

A minimal valid row needs to have at least one Cell.

Inheritance: RowCompositeNodeNode

Examples

Shows how to create a table.

let doc = new aw.Document();
let table = new aw.Tables.Table(doc);
doc.firstSection.body.appendChild(table);

// Tables contain rows, which contain cells, which may have paragraphs
// with typical elements such as runs, shapes, and even other tables.
// Calling the "EnsureMinimum" method on a table will ensure that
// the table has at least one row, cell, and paragraph.
let firstRow = new aw.Tables.Row(doc);
table.appendChild(firstRow);

let firstCell = new aw.Tables.Cell(doc);
firstRow.appendChild(firstCell);

let paragraph = new aw.Paragraph(doc);
firstCell.appendChild(paragraph);

// Add text to the first cell in the first row of the table.
let run = new aw.Run(doc, "Hello world!");
paragraph.appendChild(run);

doc.save(base.artifactsDir + "Table.CreateTable.docx");

Shows how to iterate through all tables in the document and print the contents of each cell.

let doc = new aw.Document(base.myDir + "Tables.docx");
let tables = doc.firstSection.body.tables;

expect(tables.toArray().length).toEqual(2);

for (let i = 0; i < tables.count; i++)
{
  console.log(`Start of Table ${i}`);

  let rows = tables.at(i).rows;

  for (let j = 0; j < rows.count; j++)
  {
    console.log(`\tStart of Row ${j}`);

    let cells = rows.at(j).cells;

    for (let k = 0; k < cells.count; k++)
    {
      let cellText = cells.at(k).toString(aw.SaveFormat.Text).trim();
      console.log(`\t\tContents of Cell:${k} = \"${cellText}\"`);
    }

    console.log(`\tEnd of Row ${j}`);
  }

  console.log(`End of Table ${i}\n`);
}

Shows how to build a nested table without using a document builder.

test('CreateNestedTable', () => {
  let doc = new aw.Document();

  // Create the outer table with three rows and four columns, and then add it to the document.
  let outerTable = createTable(doc, 3, 4, "Outer Table");
  doc.firstSection.body.appendChild(outerTable);

  // Create another table with two rows and two columns and then insert it into the first table's first cell.
  let innerTable = createTable(doc, 2, 2, "Inner Table");
  outerTable.firstRow.firstCell.appendChild(innerTable);

  doc.save(base.artifactsDir + "Table.CreateNestedTable.docx");
});


/// <summary>
/// Creates a new table in the document with the given dimensions and text in each cell.
/// </summary>
function createTable(doc, rowCount, cellCount, cellText)
{
  let table = new aw.Tables.Table(doc);

  for (let rowId = 1; rowId <= rowCount; rowId++)
  {
    let row = new aw.Tables.Row(doc);
    table.appendChild(row);

    for (let cellId = 1; cellId <= cellCount; cellId++)
    {
      let cell = new aw.Tables.Cell(doc);
      cell.appendChild(new aw.Paragraph(doc));
      cell.firstParagraph.appendChild(new aw.Run(doc, cellText));

      row.appendChild(cell);
    }
  }

  // You can use the "Title" and "Description" properties to add a title and description respectively to your table.
  // The table must have at least one row before we can use these properties.
  // These properties are meaningful for ISO / IEC 29500 compliant .docx documents (see the OoxmlCompliance class).
  // If we save the document to pre-ISO/IEC 29500 formats, Microsoft Word ignores these properties.
  table.title = "Aspose table title";
  table.description = "Aspose table description";

  return table;
