Function: convertArrayOfRowsToTableNode()

function convertArrayOfRowsToTableNode(tableNode, cellMatrix): Node_2;

Defined in: tables/src/utils/convert.ts:173

Converts a matrix of table cells back into a table node.

This function reconstructs a table node from a 2D array representation, typically used after modifying the table structure or cell contents. The matrix should follow the same format produced by convertTableNodeToArrayOfRows, where null values represent continuation cells of merged regions.

Parameters

Parameter	Type	Description
tableNode	Node_2	The original table node used as a template for structure and attributes. Row and cell types are preserved from this node.
cellMatrix	readonly readonly Node_2[][]	A 2D array of cells where each element is either: - A Node representing a cell (original or modified) - null for merged cell continuations (colspan/rowspan extensions)

Returns

Node_2

A new table node with the updated cell contents while preserving the original structure

Example

const originalTable = table(tr(td("A1"), td("B1")), tr(td("A2"), td("B2")));
const matrix = convertTableNodeToArrayOfRows(originalTable);

// Modify a cell in the matrix
matrix[0][0] = createNewCell("Modified A1");

// Convert back to a table node
const newTable = convertArrayOfRowsToTableNode(originalTable, matrix);
