# Dynamic Columns

Using the `dynamic` option you can provide an array of [column definitions](broken://pages/58ZS1C44lo52g3lEl1X5). These include the column name (`name`) and a function (`func`). The function receives the current `row` as argument which you can use to create a custom cell based on its peers. The function's return value is used as cell content.

```javascript
import { Table } from 'voici.js'

const data = [
  { firstname: 'Homer', lastname: 'Simpson', age: 39 },
  { firstname: 'Marge', lastname: 'Simpson', age: 36 },
  { firstname: 'Bart', lastname: 'Simpson', age: 10 },
  { firstname: 'Lisa', lastname: 'Simpson', age: 8 },
  { firstname: 'Maggie', lastname: 'Simpson', age: 1 }
];

const config = {
  header: {
    dynamic: {
      fullname: (row) => row['firstname'] + ' ' + row['lastname'],
      adult: (row) => row['age'] >= 18
    }
  }
};

const table = new Table(data, config);
table.printPlain();
```

Output:

```
  firstname    lastname    age    fullname          adult  
===========================================================
  Homer        Simpson     39     Homer Simpson     true   
  Marge        Simpson     36     Marge Simpson     true   
  Bart         Simpson     10     Bart Simpson      false  
  Lisa         Simpson     8      Lisa Simpson      false  
  Maggie       Simpson     1      Maggie Simpson    false  
```

### TypeScript

When using TypeScript, you have to provide the types of your dynamic columns in order to infer them. In the example from above, this would look like this:

```typescript
interface IDynamicAttributes {
    fullname: string;
    adult: boolean;
}

const table = new Table<(typeof data)[number], IDynamicAttributes)>(data, config);
```

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://voici.larswaechter.dev/examples/columns/dynamic-columns.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
