View column

When no stock column fits, ViewColumn lets you inject HTML (or a callable that returns it). Escape untrusted content.

This is distinct from layout View — ViewColumn is a column type; layout View wraps child columns inside one cell.

Standalone example

from almasix.orbit.tables import Table, TextColumn, ViewColumn
from almasix.orbit.support.html import e

table = (
    Table.make("customers")
    .columns([
        TextColumn.make("company").searchable(),
        ViewColumn.make("contact").content(
            lambda record=None, state=None, **_: (
                f'<div class="or-view-column">'
                f'<strong>{e(record.get("name", ""))}</strong><br />'
                f'<a href="mailto:{e(record.get("email", ""))}">'
                f'{e(record.get("email", ""))}</a></div>'
            )
        ),
    ])
    .records(records)
)

In a Resource example

from almasix.orbit import Resource
from almasix.orbit.tables import Table, TextColumn, ViewColumn
from almasix.orbit.support.html import e

class CustomerResource(Resource):
    @classmethod
    def table(cls, table: Table) -> Table:
        return table.columns([
            TextColumn.make("company").searchable().sortable(),
            ViewColumn.make("progress").label("Progress").content(
                lambda state=None, **_: (
                    f'<div class="or-progress" role="progressbar" '
                    f'aria-valuenow="{int(state or 0)}" aria-valuemin="0" '
                    f'aria-valuemax="100">'
                    f'<span style="width:{int(state or 0)}%"></span></div>'
                )
            ),
            ViewColumn.make("raw").content("<em>static HTML is fine too</em>"),
        ])

.content(...) accepts a string or a callable with record / state. The result is inserted inside .or-view-column. Add your own CSS classes as needed.

Key methods

• .content(str | callable) — HTML body for the cell
• .label(...) / .toggleable(...) / .align_start()
• Callable kwargs commonly include record, state
