Overview

Step Definitions that match a plain text Step with a multiline argument table will receive it as an instance of DataTable. A DataTable object holds the data of a table parsed from a feature file and lets you access and manipulate the data in different ways.

For example:

Given I have: | a | b | | c | d |

And a matching StepDefinition:

Given /I have:/ do |table| data = table.raw end

This will store [['a', 'b'], ['c', 'd']] in the data variable.

Constructor Details

#initialize(rows, location) ⇒ DataTable

Creates a new instance. +raw+ should be an Array of Array of String or an Array of Hash You don't typically create your own DataTable objects - Cucumber will do it internally and pass them to your Step Definitions.
