Create HTML tables from Handsontable instances and acquire Handsontable settings from HTML tables.
Features
- Added a new feature that allows users to parse HTML tables into Handsontable settings and Handsontable instances to plain HTML tables. This change introduces these new API methods:
- Handsontable.helper.instanceToHTML: (instance: Handsontable.Core) => string – parses the provided Handsontable instance to an HTML table as a string
- Handsontable.helper.htmlToGridSettings(element: Element | string, rootDocument?: Document) => Handsontable.DefaultSettings – analyzes a static HTML table and returns a Handsontable-compatible settings object
- hotInstance.toTableElement: () => HTMLTableElement – converts the Handsontable instance to a static HTML table
- hotInstance.toHTML: () => string – same as Handsontable.helper.instanceToHTML, but the instance is already bound
- Added the possibility to return false from the beforeCreateCol hook to stop column creation.
