# The TableBuilder is a helper class that automates the creation
# of tables from collections of objects. The resulting html
# can be styled using css.
#
# === Example
#
# <?r
# users = User.all.map { |u| [u.name, u.first_name, u.last_name, u.email] }
# header = ['Username', 'First name', 'Last name', 'Email']
# ?>
# 
# <div class="custom-table-class">
#   #{N::TableBuilder.build(users, header)}
# </div>
#
# or:
#
# <div class="custom-table-class">
#   #{@out.build_table(users, header)}
# </div>
#--
# TODO: sorting, thead/tbody/legend etc, verbose...

module TableBuilderMixin

	# [+options+]
	#		A hash of options.
	# 
	# :id = id of the component.
	# :headers = an array of the header values
	# :values = an array of arrays.

	def build_table(options)
		c = options

		buf = '<table'
		buf << %| id="#{c[:id]}"| if c[:id]
		buf << '><tr>'

		for h in c[:headers]

			for v in row
				buf << %|<td>#{v}</td>|
			end
