Interface IElementSource<T>

All Known Implementing Classes:

ListComponentTester

public interface IElementSource<T>

This interface provides a list of possible new elements for a ListComponent. If an instance of this is available on the ListComponent, it should be used, but it isn't required. Like the ListComponent, it is templated and its type should match the ListComponent. It provides a list of new elements as well as a TableFormat that can be used to know how to read that list.
