Nunjucks macro options

Use options to customise the appearance, content and behaviour of a component when using a macro, for example, changing the text.

Some options are required for the macro to work; these are marked as "Required" in the option description.

If you're using Nunjucks macros in production with "html" options, or ones ending with "html", you must sanitise the HTML to protect against cross-site scripting exploits.

Name Type Description
modifier boolean If 'equal' or true (boolean) column widths will be equal. Default values are 'equal', false (boolean), true (boolean) or null.
head array Required. The table header cells (<th>) within table thead row. See head.
rows object Required. The table body rows (<tr>) within the table body component. See rows.

When to use this component

Use the table component to let users compare information in rows and columns.

Use tables to present data or information that can be organised in a structured way. This could consist of numbers, text or statistics.

A table should make it easy to:

  • understand the relationship between different types of data
  • examine a range of possibilities at a glance

When not to use this component

Do not use tables for cosmetic reasons or when you can use normal page structure to present the information, for example headers or lists.

Never use the table component to layout content on a page. Instead, use the grid system.

Table with equal columns
