Table API

Namespace: qlik.table

The Table API is a way for developers to create a table using dimensions and metrics, which are returned in a standard table format of rows and columns. Unlike the qHyperCube format, which returns the data in object format, the Table API can simply be leveraged to, for example, do the following:

  • Prepare extracts to Excel
  • Render simple tabular information in an Angular template

The qlik.app.createTable method is the entry point to the Table API. It creates a table object that wraps the qHyperCube and returns a table object of type QTable.

The properties of a QTable object are as follows:

Name

Type

Description

rows

Array.QRow

Data rows

headers

Array.QHeader
