Lexical Table Plugin

A plugin for handling tables in Lexical.

Installation

Usage

See the react-table example for a minimal example that uses this package and the TablePlugin from @lexical/react/LexicalTablePlugin

Features

Tables

• Create and edit tables with customizable rows and columns
• Support for table headers
• Cell selection and navigation
• Copy and paste support

Limitations

Nested Tables

Nested tables (tables within table cells) are not supported in the editor. The following behaviors are enforced:

• When attempting to paste a table inside an existing table cell, the paste operation is blocked.
• The editor actively prevents the creation of nested tables through the UI or programmatically.

Note: When pasting HTML content with nested tables, the nested content will be removed by default. Make sure to implement appropriate importDOM handling if you need to preserve this content in some form.

This approach allows you to:

• Detect nested tables in the imported HTML
• Extract their content before it gets removed
• Preserve the content in a format that works for your use case

Choose an approach that best fits your needs:

• Flatten nested tables into a single table
• Convert nested tables to a different format (e.g., lists or paragraphs)
• Store nested content as metadata for future processing
