we can produce ASCII/ANSI tables in a similar manner to ascii-table, but with colors and styles!
To produce a standard box style (and it will attempt to be smart about column widths without truncating ansi codes):
art.table({
width : 80,
data : [ /* ... */ ]
}, function(rendered){
// use rendered text
});
If you add some additional options you get:
art.table({
width : 80,
data : [ /* ... */ ],
verticalBar : ' ',
horizontalBar : ' ',
intersection : ' ',
columns : [
{
value : 'Product',
style : 'black+gray_bg'
}, {
value : 'Maker',
style : 'white'
}, {
value : 'Location',
style : 'white'
}
]
}, function(rendered){
// use rendered text
});
which will output:
You can also play with border colorings and built-in borders (single, double, block and angles) using the UTF box drawing characters
art.table({
width : 80,
data : [ /* ... */ ],
bars : 'single',
borderColor : 'bright_white'
}, function(rendered){
// use rendered text
});
which will output:
To define this manually it would look like:
art.table({
width : 80,
data : [ /* ... */ ],
bars : {
'ul_corner' : '┏',
'ur_corner' : '┓',
'lr_corner' : '┛',
'll_corner' : '┗',
'bottom_t' : '┻',
'top_t' : '┳',
'right_t' : '┫',
'left_t' : '┣',
'intersection' : '╋',
'vertical' : '┃',
'horizontal' : '━',
},
borderColor : 'bright_white',
}, function(rendered){
// use rendered text
});
Another example:
art.table({
width : 80,
data : [ /* ... */ ],
bars : 'double',
headerStyle : 'yellow',
dataStyle : 'bright_white',
borderColor : 'gray'
}, function(rendered){
// use rendered text
});
which will output:
