Examples

Shows how to ensure a cell node contains the nodes we need to begin adding content to it.

let doc = new aw.Document();
let table = new aw.Tables.Table(doc);
doc.firstSection.body.appendChild(table);
let row = new aw.Tables.Row(doc);
table.appendChild(row);
let cell = new aw.Tables.Cell(doc);
row.appendChild(cell);

// Cells may contain paragraphs with typical elements such as runs, shapes, and even other tables.
// Our new cell does not have any paragraphs, and we cannot add contents such as run and shape nodes to it until it does.
expect(cell.getChildNodes(aw.NodeType.Any, true).count).toEqual(0);

// Calling the "EnsureMinimum" method on a cell will ensure that
// the cell has at least one empty paragraph, which we can then add contents to.
cell.ensureMinimum();
cell.firstParagraph.appendChild(new aw.Run(doc, "Hello world!"));
