What is columnify?

The columnify npm package is a utility that allows for formatting console output into a columnar data format. It is particularly useful for creating readable tables out of JSON data or arrays of objects. With columnify, you can easily align text in columns, customize column widths, and manage how text wraps within columns.

What are columnify's main functionalities?

Basic Column Formatting

This feature allows for the simple transformation of an array of objects into a neatly formatted table. Each object property becomes a column.

const columnify = require('columnify')
const data = [{ name: 'John', age: 22 }, { name: 'Jane', age: 33 }]
console.log(columnify(data))

Custom Column Widths

This feature enables the customization of column widths, allowing for a uniform appearance or to accommodate longer text without breaking the layout.

const columnify = require('columnify')
const data = [{ name: 'John', age: 22 }, { name: 'Jane', age: 33 }]
console.log(columnify(data, { minWidth: 20 }))

Column Alignment

This feature allows for the alignment of text within columns. In this example, the 'age' column is right-aligned, enhancing the readability of numerical data.

const columnify = require('columnify')
const data = [{ name: 'John', age: 22, location: 'New York' }, { name: 'Jane', age: 33, location: 'California' }]
console.log(columnify(data, { config: { age: { align: 'right' } } }))
