Conversation
Add a DataTable block-kit example (blocks/DataTable.java) demonstrating a data_table block with raw_text, raw_number, and rich_text-capable cells, plus a DataTableTest round-trip test and a README entry. Depends on the DataTableBlock / TableCell model added in slackapi/java-slack-sdk#1613 (not yet released); the block-kit module pins the published slack-api-model, so this compiles once that lands.

The initial example was an invented Widgets/Gadgets table. Replace it with the docs reference example verbatim — the Name/Department/Badge table with raw_text cells and rich_text badge cells (Blue bold, Green + italic review, Limited bold) — matching how the sibling examples mirror docs.slack.dev. Expand the test's expected JSON one field per line with full rich_text style objects, matching RichTextTest. Co-Authored-By: Claude <svc-devxp-claude@slack-corp.com>
…Text Use the BlockCompositions.rawText(...) helper for the raw_text cells instead of RawTextObject.builder(), per the block-kit AGENTS.md guidance to build composition objects through BlockCompositions.* rather than raw builders. Depends on the rawText/rawNumber helpers added in slackapi/java-slack-sdk#1613. Co-Authored-By: Claude <svc-devxp-claude@slack-corp.com>
Use the node @slack/types data_table example (slackapi/node-slack-sdk#2638) — caption "A list of fruit and their quantities", a Fruit/Quantity header with an Apples/raw_number(12) data row — so the SDKs demonstrate the same payload. This also exercises the raw_number cell (and BlockCompositions. rawNumber), which the prior docs-derived example did not. Co-Authored-By: Claude <svc-devxp-claude@slack-corp.com>
…de SDK" This reverts commit 91e8c16.

💰 note: The java SDK serializes this with false values too which is expected and ignored from API.

Summary
This pull request adds a
data_tableblock example to the Block Kit examples.blocks/DataTable.java— adata_tableblock via theBlocks.dataTable(...)DSL, pairingraw_textlabel cells withraw_numbervalue cells (cells may also berich_text).blocks/DataTableTest.java— a serialization round-trip test asserting the expected JSON, matching the pattern of the sibling block examples.block-kit/README.md— a "Data table" entry, alphabetically between Context and Divider.Depends on the SDK:
DataTableBlock/TableCell/RawTextObject/RawNumberObjectare added in slackapi/java-slack-sdk#1613 and are not yet in a publishedslack-api-modelrelease. Theblock-kitmodule pins the published version (1.51.0), so this example compiles once #1613 lands and releases. Verified locally against a1.51.1-SNAPSHOTbuild of the #1613 branch (all block-kit tests pass, includingDataTableTest).Draft until the SDK support is released.
Testing
