Nested Table about htmlflow HOT 4 CLOSED

Yes you can create a nested table, but you can't do it in a fluent style, because current fluent API of HtmlFlow still not provide it.

So, the alternative solution is to make something like:

HtmlTable<T> outerTable = ...
...
HtmlTable<T> nestedTable = new HtmlTable<>(); // create a new Table
outerTable.tr().td().addChild(new HtmlTable<>()); // Add a row, with a single TD, and the nested table inside it
nested.tr(). ... // proceed to add whatever you want 

In truth with the command API you have total flexibility to add what you want. The alternative fluent API should follow the HTML grammar, but it is not completely implemented and has limitations. We have been adding new methods to the fluent API according to new needs.

Maybe we should open an Issue to collect the methods that are most used and missing in the fluent API to include that in next fixes.

@pradex Since release 2.0 of HtmlFlow we already support building nested tables in fluent way.

We add a unit test with an example of a nested table according to the use case that you presented in your original post. Check it here. It is like:

static final HtmlView nestedTable = HtmlView
    .html()
        .body()
            .table()
                .tr()
                    .attrClass("top")
                    .td()
                        .attrColspan("2")
                        .table()
                            .tr()
                                .td()
                                    .attrClass("title")
                                    .img()
                                        .attrSrc("logo.png")
                                        .attrStyle("width:100%; max-width:300px;")
                                    .º() // img
                                .º() // td
                            .º() // tr
                        .º() // table
                    .º() // td
                    .td()
                        .text("Invoice #: 123")
                        .br().º()
                        .text("Created: January 1, 2015")
                        .br().º()
                        .text("Due: February 1, 2015")
                    .º() // td
                .º() // tr
            .º() // table
        .º() // body
    .º(); // html
