cli-table

Simply to render Objects or Arrays as tables on the command line in node.js scripts.

Installation

$ npm i @lvchengbin/cli-table --save

Usage

If an Object is passed to the constructor, the table will be rendered as a key=>value map with the keys in the first column and the values in the second column.

const random = require( 'random-world' );
const Table = require( '@lvchengbin/cli-table' );

const obj = {};

for( let i = 0; i < 10; i += 1 ) {
    obj[ random.fullname() ] = random.city();
}

const table = new Table( obj ); 

console.log( table.inspect() );

To render an Array as table:

const random = require( 'random-world' );
const Table = require( '@lvchengbin/cli-table' );

const table = new Table( [
    Array( 4 ).fill( '' ).map( () => random.city() ),
    Array( 4 ).fill( '' ).map( () => random.city() ),
    Array( 4 ).fill( '' ).map( () => random.city() ),
    Array( 4 ).fill( '' ).map( () => random.city() ),
    Array( 4 ).fill( '' ).map( () => random.city() ),
    Array( 4 ).fill( '' ).map( () => random.city() ),
    Array( 4 ).fill( '' ).map( () => random.city() )
] );

table.setHeader( [ 'Header1', 'Header2', 'Header3', 'Header4' ] );

console.log( table.inspect() );

To set styles for table cells or table header:

const random = require( 'random-world' );
const Table = require( '@lvchengbin/cli-table' );

const table = new Table( [
    Array( 4 ).fill( '' ).map( () => random.city() ),
    Array( 4 ).fill( '' ).map( () => random.city() ),
    Array( 4 ).fill( '' ).map( () => random.city() ),
    Array( 4 ).fill( '' ).map( () => random.city() ),
    Array( 4 ).fill( '' ).map( () => random.city() ),
    Array( 4 ).fill( '' ).map( () => random.city() ),
    Array( 4 ).fill( '' ).map( () => random.city() )
], {
    style : {
        header : {
            color : 'red'
        },
        cell : {
            color : 'green'
        },
        border : {
            color : 'yellow'
        }
    }
} );

table.rows[ 3 ].cells[ 2 ].style = {
    bg : 'white',
    color : 'red',
    underline : true
};

table.setHeader( [ 'Header1', 'Header2', 'Header3', 'Header4' ] );

console.log( table.inspect() );
