column

Purpose

Configures a single column of the parent Vaadin Table component.

Examples

<v:table containerDataSource="${new BeanItemContainer(Book.class, bookInstanceList)}">
  <v:column name="id" generator="${{item->
    v.createLink(action:'show', class:'link',
      id:item.getItemProperty('id'),
      caption:item.getItemProperty('name'))
    }}">Id</v:column>
  <v:column name="title">Title</v:column>
  <v:column name="author">Author</v:column>
</v:table>

Description

The Table component is configured using nested column tags. These are used to set the visibleColumns and columnHeaders properties of the table component.

Note that the column tags do not create any Vaadin components, but only provide configuration settings for the parent Table component.

A column can be configured as a generated column, by specifying a Closure in the generator attribute, which will be translated into a Table.ColumnGenerator

Body

Contains the header for the column

Attributes

name (required) The property name of the column
header (optional) The header of the column. Overrides the body content.
generator (optional) Must be a Closure that takes a single item parameter, which is a Vaadin Item object, corresponding to the data in the current row. The closure should return a Vaadin Component.
