PHP Class Elgg\Views\TableColumn\ColumnFactory
elgg_list_entities() can output tables by specifying
$options['list_type'] = 'table' and
by providing an array of TableColumn objects to
$options['columns']. This service, available
as
elgg()->table_columns provides methods to create column objects based around existing views
like
page/components/column/*, properties, or methods.
Numerous pre-existing methods are provided via
__call() magic. See this method to find out how
to add your own methods, override the existing ones, or completely replace a method via hook.

Method Details
First, the hook table_columns:call is called. Details in docs/guides/hooks-list.rst.
Then it checks existence of 3 language keys in order to defer processing to a local method:
- "table_columns:fromView:$name" -> uses $this->fromView($name, ...).
- "table_columns:fromProperty:$name" -> uses $this->fromProperty($name, ...).
- "table_columns:fromMethod:$name" -> uses $this->fromMethod($name, ...).
See the from*() methods for details.
