Table Builder

About this plugin

Table Builder lets you create and update tables by pasting tabular data from your spread sheets.

For each entry in the spread sheet, Table Builder creates an instance of your original cell component, positions it in a grid and updates the cell's first child of type `text` with the data entry from the spreadsheet (Excel, Numbers, etc).
