json-to-table

json-to-table converts an array of Javascript objects into a table format.

The column headers are all the possible "leaves" of the javascript objects.

##Install

npm install node-to-table

##Usage

var jsonToTable = require('json-to-table');

var myRecords = [
{
    name:'Bob',
    address:{zip:12345, state:'Euphoria'}
},
{
    name:'Jon',
    address:{street:'1234 Main St.', state:'Arizona'}
}];
var tabled = jsonToTable(myRecords);

//tabled will be an array of arrays like this
//[
//['name', 'address.zip', 'address.state', 'address.street'],
//['Bob', 12345, 'Euphoria', ''],
//['Jon', '', '1234 Main St.', 'Arizona']
//]

##Notes If a particular object did not have the key/value that another one did, the default will be an empty string. You can change the default value by passing that in as the second parameter of the function call. If you explicitly pass undefined in as the second value, your defaults will be undefined.

var jsonToTable = require('json-to-table');

var myRecords = [
{
    name:'Bob',
    address:{zip:12345, state:'Euphoria'}
},
{
    name:'Jon',
    address:{street:'1234 Main St.', state:'Arizona'}
}];
var tabled = jsonToTable(myRecords, 'MY_DEFAULT_STR!!');

//tabled will be an array of arrays like this
//[
//['name', 'address.zip', 'address.state', 'address.street'],
//['Bob', 12345, 'Euphoria', 'MY_DEFAULT_STR!!'],
//['Jon', 'MY_DEFAULT_STR!!', '1234 Main St.', 'Arizona']
//]

Also note that in this example, the address.zip was a number, and stayed a number.
