Style

The visual style of an Excel table is the combination of a type (default / light / medium / dark) and a number within that type. Table::style(int $type, int $number) takes those two values. Table::name(string $name) gives the table a unique name; if omitted, libxlsxwriter generates Table1, Table2, ...

Function prototypes

\Vtiful\Kernel\Table::style(int $type, int $number): self
\Vtiful\Kernel\Table::name(string $name): self

int $type

The style family — one of:

• Table::STYLE_TYPE_DEFAULT

• Table::STYLE_TYPE_LIGHT

• Table::STYLE_TYPE_MEDIUM

• Table::STYLE_TYPE_DARK

int $number

The style index inside the family. Excel ships with 1..21 light, 1..28 medium and 1..11 dark variants; popular picks are Light 11 and Medium 9. Pass 0 to apply no styling.

string $name

The table name. Must start with a letter or underscore and be unique inside the workbook. The name can be referenced from formulas, e.g. Table1[@Column1].

Example

$config = ['path' => './'];
$excel  = new \Vtiful\Kernel\Excel($config);

$table = new \Vtiful\Kernel\Table();
$table->name('Performance')
      ->style(\Vtiful\Kernel\Table::STYLE_TYPE_MEDIUM, 9)
      ->columns([
          ['header' => 'Name'],
          ['header' => 'Score'],
      ]);

$excel->fileName('tutorial.xlsx')
    ->data([
        ['Alice', 90],
        ['Bob',   80],
    ])
    ->addTable('A1:B3', $table)
    ->output();
