API Functions to Register and Show WordPress List Tables

Question

I am developing my own plugin and I am trying to figure out how to add WordPress List Tables to my admin page. I am aware I can write the the HTML myself but if there is an API method this is the most desirable.

An example are Meta Postboxes; I can easily write my own markup and have the postbox collapse and show but its much better to use the API function add_meta_box() and do_meta_boxes().

My searching hasn't come up with any functions that create lists/tables like the ones below. What are the API functions that allow me to register and show WordPress List Tables?

Answer 1

To add Bulk actions

Bulk action are implemented by overwriting the method get_bulk_actions() and returning an associated array:

function get_bulk_actions() {
  $actions = array(
    'delete'    => 'Delete'
  );
  return $actions;
}
