# Rustdoc summary

Creates a new Table with the given columns and rows.

# Verified signature

rust
pub fn table<'a, 'b, T, Message, Theme, Renderer>(
    columns: impl IntoIterator<Item = Column<'a, 'b, T, Message, Theme, Renderer>>,
    rows: impl IntoIterator<Item = T>,
) -> Table<'a, Message, Theme, Renderer>
where
    T: Clone,
    Theme: Catalog,
    Renderer: Renderer,

# When to use

Use this constructor/helper as the typed entrypoint for the widget or layout helper it creates.

# Why to use

It gives explicit widget construction with compile-time type checking and builder chaining.

# Example References

  • ref/examples/table/src/main.rs

# Use this when...

  • You want the canonical entrypoint for creating this widget/helper.
  • You need concrete constructor arguments and builder chaining.
  • You are wiring UI interactions into typed messages.

# Minimal example

rust
// Call this constructor in `view`, then map events to Message variants.

# How it works

Constructors return typed widget values. You configure behavior via builder methods and emit Message values for update to handle.

# Common patterns

rust
// Keep constructor calls close to their message mapping.
// Prefer small helper functions for repeated widget setups.

# Gotchas / tips

  • Re-check argument order in the verified signature on this page.
  • Keep side effects out of view; trigger them from update with Task.
  • Use the related family page when deciding between module/element APIs.
