tablewriter

Documentation

Overview

Package tablewriter provides a basic ASCII table writer with customization options for: headers, label columns, cell alignment, handling overly-wide cells (truncate vs wrap), and auto-merging repeat values in the same column.

Functions

func ChangeDefaults

func ChangeDefaults(defaults Defaults)

ChangeDefaults changes the library's global variable settings for any field supplied. Fields with unsupported changes are ignored.

Types

type Alignment

type Alignment int

An Alignment configures how text is aligned in a cell.

const (
	// AlignCenter centers the cell.
	AlignCenter Alignment = iota
	// AlignRight right-justifies the cell
	AlignRight
	// AlignLeft left-justifies the cell
	AlignLeft
)

type Defaults

type Defaults struct {
	DividingEdge, DividingLabelEdge, BorderFiller, HeaderFiller string
	ContentEdge, LabelEdge                                      string
	MaxColWidth                                                 int
}

Defaults may be supplied to ChangeDefaults() to change the library's global variable settings. All edge and filler symbols must be 1-rune wide, except for label edges which must be 2-runes wide. MaxColWidth must be > 0. Unsupported field values are ignored.

type Table

type Table struct {
	// contains filtered or unexported fields
}

A Table can be rendered into a stringified representation of content rows and dividing rows with the results written into an io.Writer.

func NewTable

func NewTable(w io.Writer) *Table

NewTable creates a default table writing to `w`.

func (*Table) AppendHeaderRow

func (tbl *Table) AppendHeaderRow(row []string) error

AppendHeaderRow appends a header row to the table.

func (*Table) AppendRow

func (tbl *Table) AppendRow(row []string) error

AppendRow appends a non-header row to the table.

func (*Table) AppendRows

func (tbl *Table) AppendRows(rows [][]string) error

AppendRows appends one or more non-header rows to the table.

func (*Table) DisableHeaderAutoCentering

func (tbl *Table) DisableHeaderAutoCentering()

DisableHeaderAutoCentering causes header cells to be aligned based on the underlying table alignment (default: headers are auto-centered).

func (*Table) MergeRepeats

func (tbl *Table) MergeRepeats()

MergeRepeats merges all repeated values in a column together.

func (*Table) Render

func (tbl *Table) Render() error

Render creates a stringified representation of content rows and dividing rows and writes the results into the table's io.Writer.

func (*Table) SetAlignment

func (tbl *Table) SetAlignment(alignment Alignment)

SetAlignment sets the alignment of cells in content rows to `alignment`.

func (*Table) SetLabelLevelCount

func (tbl *Table) SetLabelLevelCount(n int)

SetLabelLevelCount sets the number of label levels to `n`.

func (*Table) TruncateWideCells

func (tbl *Table) TruncateWideCells()

TruncateWideCells handles overly wide cells by truncating them (default: wrap cell remainder onto new one or more new lines).
