Usage

Table data is described using an array (rows) of array (cells).

import {
  table
} from 'table';

// Using commonjs?
// const {table} = require('table');

let data,

data = [
    ['0A', '0B', '0C'],

Draw Horizontal Line

{function} config.drawHorizontalLine property is a function that is called for every non-content row in the table. The result of the function {boolean} determines whether a row is drawn.

let data,
  output,
  options;

data = [
  ['0A', '0B', '0C'],
  ['1A', '1B', '1C'],
  ['2A', '2B', '2C'],

  drawHorizontalLine: (index, size) => {

Padding Cell Content

{number} config.columns[{number}].paddingLeft and {number} config.columns[{number}].paddingRight properties control content padding within a cell. Property value represents a number of whitespaces used to pad the content.

let config,
  data,
  output;

data = [
  ['0A', 'AABBCC', '0C'],
  ['1A', '1B', '1C'],
  ['2A', '2B', '2C']

      paddingLeft: 3
    },
    1: {
      width: 2,
      paddingRight: 3

Predefined Border Templates

You can load one of the predefined border templates using getBorderCharacters function.

import {
  table,
  getBorderCharacters
} from 'table';

let config,
  data;

data = [
  ['0A', '0B', '0C'],
  ['1A', '1B', '1C'],
  ['2A', '2B', '2C']
];

config = {
  border: getBorderCharacters(`name of the template`)
};

table(data, config);

Raise an issue if you'd like to contribute a new border template.

Borderless Table

Simply using "void" border character template creates a table with a lot of unnecessary spacing.

To create a more plesant to the eye table, reset the padding and remove the joining rows, e.g.

let output;

output = table(data, {
    border: getBorderCharacters(`void`),
    columnDefault: {
        paddingLeft: 0,
        paddingRight: 1
    },
    drawHorizontalLine: () => {
        return false
    }
});

console.log(output);

0A 0B 0C
1A 1B 1C
2A 2B 2C

Streaming

table package exports createStream function used to draw a table and append rows.

createStream requires {number} columnDefault.width and {number} columnCount configuration properties.

import {
  createStream
} from 'table';

let config,
  stream;

config = {
  columnDefault: {
    width: 50
  },
  columnCount: 1
};

stream = createStream(config);

setInterval(() => {
  stream.write([new Date()]);
}, 500);

table package uses ANSI escape codes to overwrite the output of the last line when a new row is printed.

The underlying implementation is explained in this Stack Overflow answer.

Streaming supports all of the configuration properties and functionality of a static table (such as auto text wrapping, alignment and padding), e.g.

import {
  createStream
} from 'table';

import _ from 'lodash';

let config,
  stream,
  i;

config = {
  columnDefault: {
    width: 50
  },
  columnCount: 3,
  columns: {
    0: {
      width: 10,
      alignment: 'right'
    },
    1: {
      alignment: 'center',
    },
    2: {
      width: 10
    }
  }
};

stream = createStream(config);

i = 0;

setInterval(() => {
  let random;

  random = _.sample('abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz', _.random(1, 30)).join('');

  stream.write([i++, new Date(), random]);
}, 500);

Text Truncation

To handle a content that overflows the container width, table package implements text wrapping. However, sometimes you may want to truncate content that is too long to be displayed in the table.

{number} config.columns[{number}].truncate property (default: Infinity) truncates the text at the specified length.

let config,
  data,
  output;

data = [
  ['Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Phasellus pulvinar nibh sed mauris convallis dapibus. Nunc venenatis tempus nulla sit amet viverra.']
];

config = {
  columns: {
    0: {
      width: 20,
      truncate: 100
    }
  }
};

output = table(data, config);

console.log(output);

╔══════════════════════╗
║ Lorem ipsum dolor si ║
║ t amet, consectetur  ║
║ adipiscing elit. Pha ║
║ sellus pulvinar nibh ║
║ sed mauris conva...  ║
╚══════════════════════╝

Text Wrapping

table package implements auto text wrapping, i.e. text that has width greater than the container width will be separated into multiple lines, e.g.

let config,
  data,
  output;

data = [
    ['Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Phasellus pulvinar nibh sed mauris convallis dapibus. Nunc venenatis tempus nulla sit amet viverra.']
];

config = {
  columns: {
    0: {
      width: 20
    }
  }
};

output = table(data, config);

console.log(output);

╔══════════════════════╗
║ Lorem ipsum dolor si ║
║ t amet, consectetur  ║
║ adipiscing elit. Pha ║
║ sellus pulvinar nibh ║
║ sed mauris convallis ║
║ dapibus. Nunc venena ║
║ tis tempus nulla sit ║
║ amet viverra.        ║
╚══════════════════════╝

When wrapWord is true the text is broken at the nearest space or one of the special characters ("-", "_", "\", "/", ".", ",", ";"), e.g.

let config,
  data,
  output;

data = [
  ['Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Phasellus pulvinar nibh sed mauris convallis dapibus. Nunc venenatis tempus nulla sit amet viverra.']
];

config = {
  columns: {
    0: {
      width: 20,
      wrapWord: true
    }
  }
};

output = table(data, config);

console.log(output);
