Brings console.table features to node.js
npm install table-master
Brings extended log.table functionality to command line interfaces. This module supports alignment, colours,
and pre processors.
After requiring the module, the extended console.table functionality will be available. console.table will
accept the following paramters: console.table(array, alignment, preProcessors):
- array, the array containing the JSON objects to be printed out
- alignment, the string, indication the alignment of each row
- preProcessors, an array of pre processor functions
``javascript
var tab = require('table-master');
var employees = [
{ "first name": "John", "last name": "Doe", "id": "2843650281034552", value: true },
{ "first name": "Anna", "last name": "Smith", "id": "0948736125247932", value: true },
{ "first name": "Peter", "last name": "Jones", "id": "7524535987721431", value: true }
];
console.table(employees);
`
table-master supports colour modules like chalk.
`javascript
var tab = require('table-master');
var employees = [
{ "first name": chalk.red("John"), "last name": "Doe", "id": "2843650281034552", value: true },
{ "first name": "Anna", "last name": "Smith", "id": "0948736125247932", value: true },
{ "first name": "Peter", "last name": "Jones", "id": "7524535987721431", value: true }
];
console.table(employees);
`
You can align the values of the table. Available options are (r)ight, (l)eft or (c)enter.
`javascript
var tab = require('table-master');
var employees = [
{ "first name": chalk.red("John"), "last name": "Doe", "id": "2843650281034552", value: true },
{ "first name": "Anna", "last name": "Smith", "id": "0948736125247932", value: true },
{ "first name": "Peter", "last name": "Jones", "id": "7524535987721431", value: true }
];
console.table(employees, "lclr"); // Yes, I'm a LaTeX guy :)
`
You can use powerful pre processors to modify the result/look of your table output.
`javascript
var tab = require('table-master');
var chalk = require('chalk');
var employees = [
{ "first name": "John", "last name": "Doe", active: true },
{ "first name": "Anna", "last name": "Smith", active: false },
{ "first name": "Peter", "last name": "Jones", active: true }
];
console.table(employees, "llr", [
chalk.gray, // make first names gray
chalk.bold, // make last names bold
function (value) {
// Print Yes/No if employee is active
return value ? "Yes" : "No"
}
]);
`
You can modify the spacing of the output by overriding the default settings:
- indent, indentation at the begin of each linerowSpace
- , spacing between the columns`
javascript``
var tab = require('table-master');
tab.setDefaults({
indent : 3, // indentation at the begin of each line
rowSpace: 1 // spacing between the columns
});
