Walkthrough

let's say you have a list of dogs you would like to display in a table. A dog object has the following format:

{name: ..., breed: ..., birthday: ..., cute_level:...}

the table builder will need three things in its object: title, attribute, and type

title is going to be the actual text displayed in the table heading. attribute is going to be each attribute in the object. type is used to specify whether the displayed data will be a date, an icon, or text.

you can define an array like:

table_title_and_attributes = [
      {title: "name", attribute: "name", type: "text"}, 
      {title: "breed", attribute: "breed", type: "text"}, 
      {title: "birthday", attribute: "birthday", type: "date"}, 
      {title: "cuteness level", attribute: "cute_level", type: "text"},
      {title: "fas fa-cog", attribute: ["delete","edit","show"], type: "icon"}
    ];

If you have a list of dog data like:

{
    "data": [
        {
            "name": "Mr.Fluffy",
            "breed": "Golden Retriever",
            "birthday": "2008-09-08T11:13:04.698Z",
            "cute_level": 100
        },
        {
            "name": "T-Rex",
            "breed": "Bulldog",
            "birthday": "2008-07-11T11:13:04.698Z",
            "cute_level": 100
        },
        {
            "name": "Blue",
            "breed": "Husky",
            "birthday": "2001-02-01T11:13:04.698Z",
            "cute_level": 100
        },
    ]
}

You can define an array for the data like this:

    dogs: any[];

and retrieve the dog data from the backend through a service and call a function that executes the service like

    getDogs(){
        this.dogsService.get()
            .subscribe(res => {
                this.dogs = res["data"];
            });
    }

in the HTML you simply define the table where you want it to display like:

    <sooma-table    [headings]="table_title_and_attributes"
                    [data]="dogs"></sooma-table>

Note: you can also just define the array data inside of the component.
