API

table

Returns the string in the table format

Parameters:

• data: The data to display

  • Type: any[][]
  • Required: true

• config: Table configuration

  • Type: object
  • Required: false

Custom borders. The keys are any of:

• topLeft, topRight, topBody,topJoin
• bottomLeft, bottomRight, bottomBody, bottomJoin
• joinLeft, joinRight, joinBody, joinJoin
• bodyLeft, bodyRight, bodyJoin
• headerJoin

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

config.drawVerticalLine

Type: (lineIndex: number, columnCount: number) => boolean\ Default: () => true

It is used to tell whether to draw a vertical line. This callback is called for each vertical border of the table. If the table has n columns, then the index parameter is alternatively received all numbers in range [0, n] inclusively.

const data = [
  ['0A', '0B', '0C'],
  ['1A', '1B', '1C'],
  ['2A', '2B', '2C'],
  ['3A', '3B', '3C'],

const config = {
  drawVerticalLine: (lineIndex, columnCount) => {
    return lineIndex === 0 || lineIndex === columnCount;
  }
};

config.drawHorizontalLine

Type: (lineIndex: number, rowCount: number) => boolean\ Default: () => true

It is used to tell whether to draw a horizontal line. This callback is called for each horizontal border of the table. If the table has n rows, then the index parameter is alternatively received all numbers in range [0, n] inclusively. If the table has n rows and contains the header, then the range will be [0, n+1] inclusively.

const data = [
  ['0A', '0B', '0C'],
  ['1A', '1B', '1C'],
  ['2A', '2B', '2C'],
  ['3A', '3B', '3C'],

config.columns[*].truncate

Type: number\ Default: Infinity

The number of characters is which the content will be truncated. 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.

const 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[*].wrapWord

Type: boolean\ Default: false

The table package implements auto text wrapping, i.e., text that has the width greater than the container width will be separated into multiple lines at the nearest space or one of the special characters: \|/_.,;-.

When wrapWord is false:

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

const config = {

config.columnDefault

Type: Column\ Default: {}

The default configuration for all columns. Column-specific settings will overwrite the default values.

config.header

Type: object

Header configuration.

The header configuration inherits the most of the column’s, except:

• content {string}: the header content.
• width: calculate based on the content width automatically.
• alignment: center be default.
• verticalAlignment: is not supported.
• config.border.topJoin will be config.border.topBody for prettier.

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

const config = {
  columnDefault: {
    width: 10,
  },
  header: {
    alignment: 'center',
    content: 'THE HEADER\nThis is the table about something',

createStream

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

Parameter:

• config: the same as table’s, except config.columnDefault.width and config.columnCount must be provided.

import { createStream } from 'table';

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

const 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';

const config = {
  columnDefault: {
    width: 50
  },
  columnCount: 3,
  columns: [
    {
      width: 10,
      alignment: 'right'
    },
    { alignment: 'center' },
    { width: 10 }

  ]
};

const stream = createStream(config);

let i = 0;

setInterval(() => {
  let random;

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

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

getBorderCharacters

Parameter:

• template
  • Type: 'honeywell' | 'norc' | 'ramac' | 'void'
  • Required: true

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

import { table, getBorderCharacters } from 'table';

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

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

console.log(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 pleasant to the eye table, reset the padding and remove the joining rows, e.g.

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

console.log(output);
