Advanced tools
Package description
The markdown-table npm package is a utility for generating tables in Markdown format. It allows users to create well-formatted Markdown tables from arrays of data, providing options to customize alignment and padding.
Basic Table Creation
This feature allows the creation of a basic Markdown table from an array of arrays. Each sub-array represents a row in the table.
const markdownTable = require('markdown-table');
const table = markdownTable([
['Branch', 'Commit'],
['master', '0123456789abcdef'],
['staging', 'fedcba9876543210']
]);
console.log(table);Custom Alignment
This feature enables the specification of alignment for each column in the table. 'l' stands for left, 'c' for center, and 'r' for right.
const markdownTable = require('markdown-table');
const table = markdownTable(
[
['Feature', 'Support'],
['Tables', 'Yes'],
['Alignment', 'Yes']
],
{ align: ['l', 'c'] }
);
console.log(table);The 'table' package also allows for the creation of text-based tables, which can be used in Markdown. It offers more extensive customization options such as border styles and cell content wrapping, making it more versatile than markdown-table for complex table layouts.
Similar to 'table', cli-table3 is designed for creating Unicode-aided tables in the command line interface but can also be used to generate Markdown-compatible tables. It provides additional features like custom header styles and column width control, offering more detailed customization compared to markdown-table.

Turns a given matrix of strings (an array of arrays of strings) into a table.
The following options are available:
options.align — String or array of strings, the strings being either "l" (left), "r" (right), c (center), or . (dot). Other values are treated as "l". Only the lowercased first character is used, so Right is fine;options.delimiter — Value to insert between cells. Carefull, non-pipe values will break GitHub Flavored Markdown;options.start — Value to insert at the beginning of every row.options.end — Value to insert at the end of every row.options.rule — Whether to display a rule between the header and the body of the table. Carefull, will break GitHub Flavored Markdown when false;options.stringLength — The method to detect the length of a cell (see below).ANSI-sequences mess up table creation. To fix this, you have to pass in a stringLength option to detect the “visible” length of a cell.
var chalk = require('chalk');
function stringLength(cell) {
return chalk.stripColor(cell).length;
}
See the tests for an example.
The original idea and basic implementation was inspired by James Halliday's text-table library.
