## Register table support

Slides table support is split into a model package and a UI package:

```ts
import { UniverSlidesTablePlugin } from '@univerjs-pro/slides-table'
import { UniverSlidesTableUIPlugin } from '@univerjs-pro/slides-table-ui'
import SlidesTableUIEnUS from '@univerjs-pro/slides-table-ui/locale/en-US'

import '@univerjs-pro/slides-table-ui/lib/index.css'
import '@univerjs-pro/slides-table/facade'

univer.registerPlugin(UniverSlidesTablePlugin)
univer.registerPlugin(UniverSlidesTableUIPlugin)
```

## Package responsibilities

* `@univerjs-pro/slides-table` stores table elements in the slide model and provides facade APIs for table operations.
* `@univerjs-pro/slides-table-ui` adds browser editing UI, render integration, selection behavior, and context menu operations. It also provides `@univerjs-pro/slides-table-ui/locale/*` and `@univerjs-pro/slides-table-ui/lib/index.css`.

## Runtime choices

Use both packages in a browser editor. For Node.js processing, import only the model package unless you also need browser rendering.

```ts
univer.registerPlugin(UniverSlidesPlugin)
univer.registerPlugin(UniverSlidesTablePlugin)
```

Register table support before opening or importing decks that may contain table elements, otherwise those elements cannot be fully interpreted by the runtime.

## Stable table colors

When a table is inserted or its style changes, the plugin resolves the current theme palette into a table-owned snapshot. Existing tables keep those colors after the global Univer theme changes; choosing another table style creates a new snapshot. Standard Facade operations manage this automatically.

## Facade API

Import the facade entry to add table methods to `FSlide`:

```ts
import '@univerjs-pro/slides-table/facade'
```

Create a table from plain text data:

```ts
const fPresentation = univerAPI.getActivePresentation()
const fSlide = fPresentation.getSlideById('slide-1')

const table = fSlide.insertTableFromData(
  [
    ['Quarter', 'Owner', 'Status'],
    ['Q1', 'Sales', 'Done'],
    ['Q2', 'Marketing', 'In progress'],
  ],
  {
    id: 'status-table',
    rowHeight: 42,
    columnWidth: 160,
  },
)
```

Use the table builder when you need explicit layout control:

```ts
const tableInfo = fSlide.newTable()
  .setValues([
    ['Metric', 'Value'],
    ['Revenue', '$120K'],
  ])
  .setRows(2)
  .setColumns(2)
  .setAbsolutePosition(80, 120)
  .setSize(420, 180)
  .build()

const table = fSlide.insertTable(tableInfo)
```

Read and update table cells:

```ts
const table = fSlide.getTableById('status-table') ?? fSlide.getTableAt(0)

if (table) {
  console.log(table.describe())
  console.log(table.getCellText(0, 0))

  table.getCell(1, 2)?.setText('Blocked')
  table.getCell(0, 0)?.setBackgroundColor('#E8F1FF')
}
```

Update or remove an existing table:

```ts
const table = fSlide.getTableById('status-table')

if (table) {
  const nextTableInfo = table.toBuilder()
    .setValues([
      ['Quarter', 'Owner', 'Status'],
      ['Q1', 'Sales', 'Done'],
      ['Q2', 'Marketing', 'Blocked'],
    ])
    .setSize(480, 200)
    .build()

  fSlide.updateTable(nextTableInfo)
  fSlide.removeTable(table)
}
```

Table row and column indexes are zero-based. Builder row and column counts expand to fit the values you provide, so `setValues()` can be used as the source of truth for simple tables.
