`Table`¶

Render a small static data table with explicit headers.


Import	`from hedron import Table`
Distribution	`hedron`
Backend activity	No
Normal render mode	`RenderMode.FRAGMENT`

Live demo¶

Service health
Service	Status
API	Healthy
Worker	Healthy

The preview is a local docs simulation (not a running Hedron server). Interactive demos show a “Simulated HTMX” trace when applicable.

Basic use¶

from hedron import Status, Table

component = Table(['Service', 'Status'], [['API', 'Healthy'], ['Worker', 'Healthy']], caption='Service health')

Compose under Page for full documents, or return from a fragment route for HTMX swaps.

How it works¶

The component emits a native table, optional caption, a header row using column-scoped header cells, and a body. It is intentionally static; use DataTable for paging and larger datasets.

This component's core behavior is server-rendered HTML and does not require a browser runtime. The preview is ordinary semantic HTML, so keyboard, form, link, and disclosure behavior comes from the platform.

Constructor and parameters¶

Table(headers, rows, *, caption=None)

Parameter	Type	Meaning
`headers`	`Sequence[str]`	Column headings.
`rows`	`Sequence[Sequence[NodeLike]]`	Rows matching the header count.
`caption`	`str \| None`	Accessible table name and context.

Composition and backend behavior¶

Keep Table at the smallest semantic boundary. Fragment routes should return only the replaced region and preserve stable target IDs across success, validation, empty, loading, and error responses.

This component is primarily presentational; keep any mutation on an explicit action or component route.

Accessibility¶

Add a concise caption when surrounding prose does not already identify the table.

Security¶

Escaping and SafeUrl / TrustedHtml are framework concerns; authorization and data exposure remain application code. Redact secrets before rendering.

Common mistakes¶

Keep every row the same width as the headers; do not use a table only for visual alignment.
Do not copy docs-preview JavaScript into an application server.

Testing¶

from hedron import RenderMode, render

result = render(component, mode=RenderMode.FRAGMENT)
assert result.html
assert not result.diagnostics
