Using tables

[FickleLife]

Is it at all possible to use / hack tables into Flutter from contentful using JSON plugins like https://github.com/AnalogMemory/contentful-tables ?

Looking at the documentation, I could pass a custom renderer for the BLOCKS.JSON.value nodeType - would that work?

I'm not familiar with contentful-tables or the preceding repos it was forked from, but it looks like that is a standard content type, not something embedded in the Rich Text output. This is a parser for parsing the Rich Text output JSON into Flutter widgets.

I don't know what the output JSON from contentful-tables looks like to be able to know if this would be able to parse it, but if it follows the JSON pattern for Rich Text, then it may be possible to parse it into Widgets using this. And if that's the case, and it's a type that fits into the BLOCK, then in theory you could give it a custom renderer and do what you want.

But that is a LOT of IFs and "I don't knows" in this answer.

Thanks, I'll explore it a bit today and post my findings.
