Function: convertTableNodeToArrayOfRows()

function convertTableNodeToArrayOfRows(tableNode): TableCellMatrix;

Defined in: tables/src/utils/convert.ts:43

Transforms a table node into a matrix of rows and columns, respecting merged cells.

For cells spanning multiple rows or columns, only the top-left cell of the merged region contains the actual Node; all other positions in the span are represented as null.

Parameters

Parameter	Type	Description
tableNode	Node_2	The table node to convert into a matrix representation

Returns

TableCellMatrix

A 2D array where each row contains nodes or null values for merged cell continuations

Example

Given this table structure:

┌──────┬──────┬─────────────┐
│  A1  │  B1  │     C1      │
├──────┼──────┴──────┬──────┤
│  A2  │     B2      │      │
├──────┼─────────────┤  D1  │
│  A3  │  B3  │  C3  │      │
└──────┴──────┴──────┴──────┘

The result will be:

[
  [A1, B1, C1, null], // C1 spans 2 columns, so position 3 is null
  [A2, B2, null, D1], // B2 spans 2 columns, D1 starts here but spans 2 rows
  [A3, B3, C3, null], // D1 continues from above, so position 3 is null
];
