1. Install dependencies

Install the InkDes Email package locally and a few components. 
# pnpm
pnpm add @inkdes-email/components

# npm
npm install @inkdes-email/components

# yarn
yarn add @inkdes-email/components

​
2. Usage

​
Rows and columns

import { Table } from "@inkdes-email/components";

export default function ExampleRowsAndCols() {
  return (
    <Table padding="10px" border>
      <Table.Row align="left" valign="middle">
        <Table.Col>Cell 1</Table.Col>
        <Table.Col>Cell 2</Table.Col>
      </Table.Row>
      <Table.Row>
        <Table.Col>Cell 3</Table.Col>
        <Table.Col>Cell 4</Table.Col>
      </Table.Row>
    </Table>
  );
}

​
Inherit wrapper styles via context

padding, border, and borderColor from Table flow to Table.Row and Table.Col via context. 
export default function ExampleContext() {
  return (
    <Table padding="12px" border borderColor="#ddd">
      <Table.Row>
        <Table.Col>Left</Table.Col>
        <Table.Col>Right</Table.Col>
      </Table.Row>
    </Table>
  );
}

​
Override per row or col

Table.Row can override context for its children; Table.Col can override for itself. 
export default function ExampleOverrides() {
  return (
    <Table padding="12px" border borderColor="#ddd">
      <Table.Row padding="6px" borderColor="#bbb">
        <Table.Col>Compact A</Table.Col>
        <Table.Col border={false} padding="16px">Emphasized B</Table.Col>
      </Table.Row>
    </Table>
  );
}

​
Using colSpan and width

Table.Col extends native td props, so attributes like colSpan work as expected. 
export default function ExampleColSpan() {
  return (
    <Table padding="10px" border>
      <Table.Row>
        <Table.Col colSpan={2} padding="8px">Section Header</Table.Col>
      </Table.Row>
      <Table.Row>
        <Table.Col width="70%">Item A</Table.Col>
        <Table.Col width="30%">$10</Table.Col>
      </Table.Row>
    </Table>
  );
}

​
Alignment, vertical alignment, and background

export default function ExampleAlignment() {
  return (
    <Table padding="10px" border>
      <Table.Row align="center" valign="top" backgroundColor="#fafafa">
        <Table.Col>Centered Top</Table.Col>
        <Table.Col>Also Centered</Table.Col>
      </Table.Row>
    </Table>
  );
}
