Data Structure
Data from the Table fieldtype is saved in an array like this:
my_table: - cells: - People - Gift - cells: - Kevin - Kerosene - cells: - Buzz - SpiderThis data format makes it trivial when it comes time to render it templates.
Templating
This fieldtype comes with a handy table modifier, which will turn your data into a simple HTML <table>.
{{ my_table | table }}{!! Statamic::modify($my_table)->table() !!}Here’s the same thing that the modifier would have output, but we’re modifying the cells to use | markdown.
<table> {{ my_table }} <tr> {{ cells }} <td>{{ value | markdown }}</td> {{ /cells }} </tr> {{ /my_table }}</table><table> @foreach ($my_table as $row) <tr> @foreach ($row['cells'] as $cell) <td>{!! Statamic::modify($cell)->markdown() !!}</td> @endforeach </tr> @endforeach</table>Want even more control? This example assumes you have a boolean field in your front-matter named first_row_headers which toggles whether or not to render the first row of the table in a <thead> with <th> tags.
<table> {{ my_table }} {{ if first && first_row_headers }} <thead> <tr> {{ cells }} <th>{{ value|markdown }}</th> {{ /cells }} </tr> </thead> <tbody> {{ /if }} {{ if !first && first_row_headers || !first_row_headers }} {{ if first }} <tbody> {{ /if }} <tr> {{ cells }} <td>{{ value|markdown }}</td> {{ /cells }} </tr> {{ if last }} </tbody> {{ /if }} {{ /if }} {{ /my_table }}</table>The following example uses the fetch helper function, which resolves Value instances for you and returns the underlying value. If the passed value is not a Value instance, you will get that original value back.
<?php use function Statamic\View\Blade\{fetch};?><table> @php($first_row_headers = fetch($first_row_headers) ?? false) @foreach ($my_table as $row) @if ($loop->first && $first_row_headers) <thead> <tr> @foreach ($row['cells'] as $value) <th>{!! Statamic::modify($value)->markdown() !!}</th> @endforeach </tr> </thead> <tbody> @endif @if (! $loop->first && $first_row_headers || ! $first_row_headers) @if ($loop->first) <tbody> @endif <tr> @foreach ($row['cells'] as $value) <th>{!! Statamic::modify($value)->markdown() !!}</th> @endforeach </tr> @if ($loop->last) </tbody> @endif @endif @endforeach</table>
