Package Exports

ascii-table

This package does not declare an exports field, so the exports above have been automatically detected and optimized by JSPM instead. If any package subpath is missing, it is recommended to post an issue to the original package (ascii-table) to support the "exports" field. If that is not possible, create a JSPM override to customize the exports field for this package.

Readme

Ascii Table

Easy table output for node debugging, but you could probably do more with it, since its just an string.

Usage

Node.js

var Table = require('ascii-table')

Browser

<script src="ascii-table.min.js"></script>

Note: If using in the browser, it will be placed under window.AsciiTable

Example

Basic usage

var table = new Table('A Title')
table
  .setHeading('', 'Name', 'Age')
  .addRow(1, 'Bob', 52)
  .addRow(2, 'John', 34)
  .addRow(3, 'Jim', 83)

console.log(table.toString())

.------------------.
|      A Title     |
|------------------|
|    | Name  | Age |
|----|-------|-----|
|  1 | Bob   |  52 |
|  2 | John  |  34 |
|  3 | Jim   |  83 |
'------------------'

Lets sort by age

table.sortColumn(2, function(a, b) {
  return a - b
})
console.log(table.toString())

.------------------.
|      A Title     |
|------------------|
|    | Name  | Age |
|----|-------|-----|
|  2 | John  |  34 |
|  1 | Bob   |  52 |
|  3 | Jim   |  83 |
'------------------'

We can make a simple table as well.

var table = new Table()
table
table
  .addRow('a', 'apple', 'Some longer string')
  .addRow('b', 'banana', 'hi')
  .addRow('c', 'carrot', 'meow')
  .addRow('e', 'elephants')


console.log(table.toString())

.--------------------------------------.
| a  | apple      | Some longer string |
| b  | banana     | hi                 |
| c  | carrot     | meow               |
| e  | elephants  |                    |
'--------------------------------------'

Columns can also have different alignments

table
  .setAlign(2, Table.RIGHT)
  .setAlign(1, Table.CENTER)

console.log(table.toString())

.--------------------------------------.
| a  |   apple    | Some longer string |
| b  |   banana   |                 hi |
| c  |   carrot   |               meow |
| e  | elephants  |                    |
'--------------------------------------'

We can also remove the borders

table
  .setHeading('#', 'Fruit', 'Thing')
  .setAlign(1, Table.RIGHT)
  .setAlign(2, Table.CENTER)
  .removeBorder()
  
console.log('' + table)

  #      Fruit            Thing
 ---- ------------ --------------------
  a         apple   Some longer string
  b        banana           hi
  c        carrot          meow
  e     elephants
