# [NAME](#NAME)

Test2::EventFacet::Info::Table - Intermediary representation of a table.

# [DESCRIPTION](#DESCRIPTION)

Intermediary representation of a table for use in specialized Test2::API::Context methods which generate Test2::EventFacet::Info facets.

# [SYNOPSIS](#SYNOPSIS)

```
    use Test2::EventFacet::Info::Table;
    use Test2::API qw/context/;
    sub my_tool {
        my $ctx = context();
        ...
        $ctx->fail(
            $name,
            "failure diag message",
            Test2::EventFacet::Info::Table->new(
                # Required
                rows => [['a', 'b'], ['c', 'd'], ...],
                # Strongly Recommended
                as_string => "... string to print when table cannot be rendered ...",
                # Optional
                header => ['col1', 'col2'],
                collapse => $bool,
                no_collapse => ['col1', ...],
            ),
        );
        ...
        $ctx->release;
    }
    my_tool();
```

# [ATTRIBUTES](#ATTRIBUTES)

$header\_aref = $t->**header()**

$rows\_aref = $t->**rows()**

$bool = $t->**collapse()**

$aref = $t->**no\_collapse()**

The above are all directly tied to the table hashref structure described in Test2::EventFacet::Info.

$str = $t->**as\_string()**

This returns the string form of the table if it was set, otherwise it returns the string "<TABLE NOT DISPLAYED>".

$href = $t->**as\_hash()**

This returns the data structure used for tables by Test2::EventFacet::Info.

%args = $t->**info\_args()**

This returns the arguments that should be used to construct the proper Test2::EventFacet::Info structure.

```
    return (table => $t->as_hash(), details => $t->as_string());
    
```
