UI.TableRow
luastra/uiUI.TableRow(input: Input): Node
Defines one semantic row inside UI.Table and restricts its direct children to TableCell nodes. Source order becomes the accessible column order.
Mental model
This is a declarative node: app.render describes it again from current state, while the host matches its stable id to the existing view.
Before you use it
Add luastra/ui to this module's dependencies in luastra.json, then import it with require("luastra/ui"). The project must declare the ui.render capability. app.render must return one UI.Screen root; place this node inside that tree rather than invoking it for a hidden side effect.
How it fits
The constructor validates its fields immediately and returns a UI.Node. After app.render returns, the host reconciles that node by stable id with the current semantic DOM-based interface. Current desktop and mobile hosts package the same web artifact; native adapters are used at capability boundaries.
When to use it
Use UI.TableRow only as a direct child of UI.Table, once per header or data row. Keep every row's cell structure consistent with the table headers.

| Color tokens | accent | danger | muted | surface | success | text | transparent | warning | Current Screen theme colors. Group: Text and local colors. |
Children and layout
Table cells only.
Accessibility and keyboard
Does not create a separate accessible name; its header cells establish the row meaning.
Common mistakes
- Using a duplicate id or an uppercase path segment.
- Passing a shared-group parameter that is not listed on this component page.
Returns
Node — a validated declarative UI node that becomes part of the next host-neutral render tree.
What happens next
A validated declarative node appears after it is returned as part of the current render tree.
Failures and fixes
Invalid fields, duplicate IDs, unsupported child combinations, or a missing ui.render capability fail during check, render-tree validation, or host startup.
Availability
Source API in 0.5.0-alpha; the public installer targets 0.5.0-alpha. Verify host-specific behavior against the selected SDK.
Focused example
UI.TableRow {
id = "docs/row",
UI.TableCell {
id = "docs/row/name",
text = "width",
header = true,
scope = "row",
},
