Usage.

To use Ember Table, you need to create columns and rows dataset.

columns is an array of objects which has multiple fields to define behavior of column. Two required field in each object is columnName and valuePath.

  columns: [
    {
      columnName: `Open time`,
      valuePath: `open`
    },
    {
      columnName: `Close time`,
      valuePath: `close`
    }
  ]

rows could be a javascript array, ember array or any data structure that implements length and objectAt(index). This flexibity gives application to avoid having all data at front but loads more data as user scrolls. Each object in the rows data structure should contains all fields defined by all valuePath in columns array.

  rows: computed(function() {
    const rows = emberA();

    rows.pushObject({
      open: '8AM',
      close: '8PM'
    });

    rows.pushObject({
      open: '11AM',
      close: '9PM'
    });

    return rows;
  })

Template

The following template renders a simple table.

  {{#ember-table
    rows=rows
    columns=columns
    as |row|
  }}
    {{#ember-table-row
      row=row
      as |cell|
    }}
      {{cell.value}}
    {{/ember-table-row}}
  {{/ember-table}}

To have your own custom cell, pass in the cell component name in each element of columns array and specify it in the template.

  {{#ember-table
    rows=rows
    columns=columns
    as |row|
  }}
    {{#ember-table-row
      row=row
      as |cell|
    }}
      {{#component cell.column.cellComponent
        cell=cell
      }}
    {{/ember-table-row}}
  {{/ember-table}}

The rendered table is a plain table without any styling. You can define styling for your own table. If you want to use default table style, import the ember-table/default SASS file.
