Docx: table cell width

[Meggie-Wang]

Hello @dolanmiu!
I created the table successfully, but no width.
I used various methods of finding,like this:

table.getCell(0, 0).addContent(new Paragraph('Hellow')).CellProperties.setWidth(WidthType.PERCENTAGE, '50%')
table.getCell(0, 1).addContent(new Paragraph('word')).CellProperties.setWidth('50%', WidthType.PERCENTAGE)
table.getCell(0, 2).addContent(new Paragraph('haha')).CellProperties.setWidth(200)

Can you help me?
Thanks.

[Meggie-Wang]

And the table I created will be created twice.
doc.createTable(2, 2)
This will result in a table with 4 rows and 2 columns.
Thanks!

And the table I created will be created twice.
doc.createTable(2, 2)
This will result in a table with 4 rows and 2 columns.

Can you show me your code for this?

[Meggie-Wang]

const topTable = doc.createTable(2, 2) topTable.setWidth(WidthType.PERCENTAGE, '100%') topTable.getCell(0, 0).addContent(new Paragraph('hello')).properties.setVerticalAlign(VerticalAlign.CENTER)

Can you point out my mistake?I found that other people didn't encounter this problem.

Same here, Meggie-Wang.

This worked for me for setting it to full width. No idea why setting percentage (pct) to 5000 works though

  const table = doc
    .createTable(numberOfColumns, numberOfRows)
    .setWidth('pct', 5000);

[mettin]

table.setWidth('pct', '100%');

also works

[Meggie-Wang]

Is there a duplicate problem with the table you created?
const table = doc.createTable(2, 2)
This should be a table that creates 2 rows and 2 columns, but it repeated once.
Like this：
table.docx

hello, I tried to use CellProperties.setWidth to a table but it's don't work in LibreOffice.

[mettin]

Im using this and it works perfectly:

    const table = doc
      .createTable(numberOfColumns, numberOfRows)
      .setWidth('pct', '100%');

    table.getCell(0, 0).CellProperties.setWidth('93%', 'pct');
    table.getCell(0, 1).CellProperties.setWidth('7%', 'pct');

[ricustr]

I use the same code for create and setWidth.

      const document = new Document();
      const table = document.createTable(1, 2)
          .setWidth(WidthType.PERCENTAGE, '100%');

      table.getCell(0, 0)
          .CellProperties.setWidth('20%', WidthType.PERCENTAGE);
      table.getCell(0, 1)
          .CellProperties.setWidth('80%', WidthType.PERCENTAGE);

As far as i know (im not a maintainer) only 'real' word is supported. I opened your file in word and looks fine!

[ricustr]

Okay, thank you for fast responses. Have a nice day.

Try converting to pdf to test: https://cloudconvert.com/

[ricustr]

Converting helped, thank for advice.

[dolanmiu]

Yes, only Microsoft Office is supported

Other office suites will be supported at some point. But no ETA. It's just so difficult to make it working for every Word processor. It's like Safari vs IE vs Firefox vs Chrome all over again... but less easier to test

[dolanmiu]

Will be fixed with:

https://github.com/dolanmiu/docx/pull/288

[Meggie-Wang]

const table = doc.createTable(2, 2).setWidth('pct', '100%')
This code should create a table with two rows and two columns，however, a table with four rows and four columns was created.

This is not a problem in v5

why not apply a way to directly generate doc file
