TableController class

Core table controller that owns ALL business logic This is the single source of truth for table state and behavior

Inheritance

Constructors

TableController({required TableConfig config, required List<Map<String, dynamic>> data})
Create controller from config and data
factory
TableController.fromJson(Map<String, dynamic> json, {void onScroll(double scrollTop, double scrollHeight, double clientHeight)?})
Create from JSON (convenience factory)
factory

Properties

config TableConfig
Get current config
no setter
hashCode int
The hash code for this object.
no setterinherited
hasListeners bool
Whether any listeners are currently registered.
no setterinherited
onScroll ↔ void Function(double scrollTop, double scrollHeight, double clientHeight)?
Optional callback for server-side pagination / scroll position tracking. Called on every scroll event (throttled to 100ms).
getter/setter pair
onScrollControllersReadyCallback ↔ void Function(ScrollController vertical, ScrollController horizontal)?
getter/setter pair
onSelectionChanged ← void Function(List<Map<String, dynamic>>)?
Set the selection changed callback
no getter
runtimeType Type
A representation of the runtime type of the object.
no setterinherited
selectedRows List<Map<String, dynamic>>
Get list of selected rows
no setter
state TableState
Get current state (immutable)
no setter
verticalScrollController ScrollController?
no setter
visibleRowCount int
Get visible row count (respects progressive loading)
no setter

Methods

addListener(VoidCallback listener) → void
Register a closure to be called when the object changes.
inherited
clearAllFilters() → void
Clear all filters
clearColumnFilter(String field) → void
Clear filter for a specific column
clearSelection() → void
Clear all selection
collapseAll() → void
Collapse all tree rows
deleteRows(List<String> idsToDelete) → void
Delete rows by ID (handles row_id OR temp_row_id)
dispose() → void
Discards any resources used by the object. After this is called, the object is not in a usable state and should be discarded (calls to addListener will throw after the object is disposed).
override
expandAll() → void
Expand all tree rows
getFilterController(String field) TextEditingController?
Get filter controller for a specific column field
getHighlight(String rowId, String columnId) Map<String, dynamic>?
Get highlight metadata for a specific cell Returns null if no highlight exists for this cell @param rowId - The row identifier (from _id or row_id field) @param columnId - The column field name
getHighlightMetadata() Map<String, Map<String, dynamic>>
Get all highlight metadata for border calculation Returns a copy of the metadata map to prevent external modifications
getResponsiveColumnWidths(double availableWidth) List<double>
Get responsive column widths (scale to fit screen)
getSortIndicator(String field) SortIndicator?
Get sort indicator for a column (for UI rendering)
insertRowAt(List<Map<String, dynamic>> rowsToInsert, int index) → void
Insert rows at a specific index (surgical middle insert, no full rebuild) This is completely optional — existing insertRows() still works unchanged. Used for real-time WebSocket inserts at correct middle position.
insertRows(List<Map<String, dynamic>> rowsToInsert) → void
Insert rows (handles 1 row or many rows)
loadMoreRows() → void
Load more rows (progressive loading)
noSuchMethod(Invocation invocation) → dynamic
Invoked when a nonexistent method or property is accessed.
inherited
notifyListeners() → void
Call all the registered listeners.
inherited
onScrollReady(ScrollController vertical, ScrollController horizontal) → void
Called when scroll controllers are ready
removeListener(VoidCallback listener) → void
Remove a previously registered closure from the list of closures that are notified when the object changes.
inherited
resetColumnWidths() → void
Reset all column widths to defaults
resetSort() → void
Reset sort to original order
resizeColumn(int globalIndex, double delta) → void
Resize a column Resize a column (determines section automatically)
selectRows(List<String> rowIds, Map<String, Map<String, dynamic>> rowsData) → void
Select multiple rows
setColumnFilter(String field, String value) → void
Set filter for a specific column
setColumnWidth(String fieldName, double newWidth) → void
Set a column's width by field name. Equivalent to web's rownumColumn.setWidth(estimatedWidth). Works for any column (fixed or data). No-op if field not found or width unchanged. O(N columns) scan — negligible cost, touches zero row data.
setGlobalSearch(String query) → void
Set global search query (searches across all columns)
toggleRowExpanded(String rowId) → void
Toggle tree row expanded/collapsed
toggleRowSelection(String rowId, Map<String, dynamic> rowData) → void
Toggle row selection
toggleSort(String field) → void
Toggle sort on a column (3-state: none → asc → desc → none)
toString() String
A string representation of this object.
inherited
updateColumnsWithBuilders(List<ColumnConfig> newColumns) → void
Update columns with custom cell builders (typically called after construction)
updateData(List<Map<String, dynamic>> newRows) → void
Update data (refresh with new rows)
updateHighlights(Map<String, Map<String, dynamic>> newHighlights) → void
Update cell highlight metadata (enterprise-grade: separate from values) This maintains clean separation of concerns - highlights are UI metadata, not business data. Calling this triggers a rebuild to update highlighted cells.
updateRows(List<Map<String, dynamic>> rowsToUpdate) → void
Update rows (handles 1 row or 1,000 rows, row_id OR temp_row_id) Matches web pattern: tabulator-formula.service.ts:1195-1263

Operators

operator ==(Object other) bool
The equality operator.
