Function: moveRow()

function moveRow(params): boolean;

Defined in: tables/src/utils/move-row.ts:74

Moves a table row from one position to another within the same table.

This function handles complex scenarios including:

• Moving rows that are part of merged cells (rowspan)
• Preserving cell content and attributes during the move
• Optionally selecting the moved row after the operation

The function will fail (return false) if:

• The position is not within a table
• Either the origin or target row cannot be resolved
• The target row is part of the same merged cell group as the origin row

Parameters

Parameter	Type	Description
params	MoveRowParams	The parameters for the row move operation.

Returns

boolean

true if the row was successfully moved, false otherwise.

Example

// Move row at index 2 to position 0 (top of table)
const success = moveRow({
  tr: state.transaction,
  originIndex: 2,
  targetIndex: 0,
  select: true,
  pos: tablePos,
});
