Summary

Take a look at what we have covered in this chapter:

• We learned how to add columns and rows to tables.

• We learned that tables handle columns as properties and rows as items.

• We learned how to add headers and footers, and respond to clicks on them.

• We used Vaadin's data model to get the data that a Table stores.

• We built editable tables and customized the generated components for their cells using the TableFieldFactory method and generated columns.

• We learned how to activate column collapsing and reordering for tables.

Now you have the understanding to efficiently use the Table component. In the next chapter we'll take a look at the several cool UI components. It's going to be a fast trip that will complete your understanding of Vaadin's out of the box UI components.
