Example 1 - Basic

data := [][]string{
    []string{"A", "The Good", "500"},
    []string{"B", "The Very very Bad Man", "288"},
    []string{"C", "The Ugly", "120"},

}

table := tablewriter.NewWriter(os.Stdout)
table.SetHeader([]string{"Name", "Sign", "Rating"})

for _, v := range data {
    table.Append(v)
}
table.Render() // Send output

Output 1

Example 2 - Without Border / Footer / Bulk Append

data := [][]string{
    []string{"1/1/2014", "Domain name", "2233", "$10.98"},
    []string{"1/1/2014", "January Hosting", "2233", "$54.95"},
    []string{"1/4/2014", "February Hosting", "2233", "$51.00"},
    []string{"1/4/2014", "February Extra Bandwidth", "2233", "$30.00"},
}

table := tablewriter.NewWriter(os.Stdout)
table.SetHeader([]string{"Date", "Description", "CV2", "Amount"})
table.SetFooter([]string{"", "", "Total", "$146.93"}) // Add Footer
table.SetBorder(false)                                // Set Border to false
table.AppendBulk(data)                                // Add Bulk Data
table.Render()

Output 2

                                      --------+----------

Example 3 - CSV

table, _ := tablewriter.NewCSV(os.Stdout, "testdata/test_info.csv", true)
table.SetAlignment(tablewriter.ALIGN_LEFT)   // Set Alignment
table.Render()

Output 3

| password | varchar(100) | NO   |     | NULL    |                |
+----------+--------------+------+-----+---------+----------------+

Example 4 - Custom Separator

table, _ := tablewriter.NewCSV(os.Stdout, "testdata/test.csv", true)
table.SetRowLine(true)         // Enable row line

// Change table lines
table.SetCenterSeparator("*")
table.SetColumnSeparator("╪")
table.SetRowSeparator("-")

table.SetAlignment(tablewriter.ALIGN_LEFT)
table.Render()

Output 4

Example 9 - Set table caption

data := [][]string{

table.SetCaption(true, "Movie ratings.")

for _, v := range data {
    table.Append(v)
}
table.Render() // Send output

Note: Caption text will wrap with total width of rendered table.

Output 9

Example 10 - Set NoWhiteSpace and TablePadding option

data := [][]string{
    {"node1.example.com", "Ready", "compute", "1.11"},
    {"node2.example.com", "Ready", "compute", "1.11"},
    {"node3.example.com", "Ready", "compute", "1.11"},
    {"node4.example.com", "NotReady", "compute", "1.11"},
}

table := tablewriter.NewWriter(os.Stdout)
table.SetHeader([]string{"Name", "Status", "Role", "Version"})
table.SetAutoWrapText(false)
table.SetAutoFormatHeaders(true)
table.SetHeaderAlignment(ALIGN_LEFT)
table.SetAlignment(ALIGN_LEFT)
table.SetCenterSeparator("")
table.SetColumnSeparator("")
table.SetRowSeparator("")
table.SetHeaderLine(false)
table.SetBorder(false)
table.SetTablePadding("\t") // pad with tabs
table.SetNoWhiteSpace(true)
table.AppendBulk(data) // Add Bulk Data
table.Render()

Output 10

NAME             	STATUS  	ROLE   	VERSION 
node1.example.com	Ready   	compute	1.11   	
node2.example.com	Ready   	compute	1.11   	
node3.example.com	Ready   	compute	1.11   	
node4.example.com	NotReady	compute	1.11

Render table into a string

Instead of rendering the table to io.Stdout you can also render it into a string. Go 1.10 introduced the strings.Builder type which implements the io.Writer interface and can therefore be used for this task. Example:

package main

import (
    "strings"
    "fmt"

    "github.com/olekukonko/tablewriter"
)

func main() {
    tableString := &strings.Builder{}
    table := tablewriter.NewWriter(tableString)

    /*
     * Code to fill the table
     */

    table.Render()

    fmt.Println(tableString.String())
}
