# Test2::EventFacet::Info::Table(3p)

Intermediary representation of a table.

## NAME

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

## DESCRIPTION

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

## 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

- $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());
  ```
