ensureMinimum()

Examples

Shows how to ensure that a table node contains the nodes we need to add content.

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

// Tables contain rows, which contain cells, which may contain paragraphs
// with typical elements such as runs, shapes, and even other tables.
// Our new table has none of these nodes, and we cannot add contents to it until it does.
expect(table.getChildNodes(aw.NodeType.Any, true).count).toEqual(0);

// Calling the "EnsureMinimum" method on a table will ensure that
// the table has at least one row and one cell with an empty paragraph.
table.ensureMinimum();
table.firstRow.firstCell.firstParagraph.appendChild(new aw.Run(doc, "Hello world!"));
