Generates plain-text tables from JSON recordset input (array of objects). Useful for presenting text in column layout or data in table layout in text-based user interfaces. Also [available as a command-line tool](https://github.com/75lb/table-layout-cli).
Styleable plain-text table generator. Useful for formatting console output. Available as both a command-line tool and isomorphic Javascript library.
## Synopsis
Where input looks like this:
Install the `table-layout` command-line app:
```
$ npm install --global table-layout
```
As input, table-layout takes a JSON file containing an array of objects.
```json
[
{
"country": "USA",
"GDP": "$19,485,394,000,000",
"population": "325,084,756"
},
{
"country": "China",
"GDP": "$12,237,700,479,375",
"population": "1,421,021,791"
},
{
"country": "Japan",
"GDP": "$4,872,415,104,315",
"population": "127,502,725"
}
]
```
The output of table-layout is a configurable plain-text table.
```
$ cat example/gdp.json | table-layout
USA $19,485,394,000,000 325,084,756
China $12,237,700,479,375 1,421,021,791
Japan $4,872,415,104,315 127,502,725
```
## Examples
Please see below for example usage on the command-line. Programmatic examples are further down the page.

### Format an article into columns
Formatting long chunks of text into columns for display side by side.
```json
[
{
"column 1": "The Kingdom of Scotland was a state in north-west Europe traditionally said to have been founded in 843, which joined with the Kingdom of England to form a unified Kingdom of Great Britain in 1707. Its territories expanded and shrank, but it came to occupy the northern third of the island of Great Britain, sharing a land border to the south with the Kingdom of England. ",
"column 2": "Operation Barbarossa (German: Unternehmen Barbarossa) was the code name for Nazi Germany's invasion of the Soviet Union during World War II, which began on 22 June 1941. Over the course of the operation, about four million soldiers of the Axis powers invaded Soviet Russia along a 2,900 kilometer front, the largest invasion force in the history of warfare. In addition to troops, the Germans employed some 600,000 motor vehicles and between 600–700,000 horses."
}
]
```
Output:
```

```
Notice the columns above have equal width - this is the default style. You can give one or more columns a specific width using the `--width` option. In the example below we give "column 2" a specific width of 55 characters:
```
$ cat example/two-columns.json | table-layout --width "column 2: 55"

Kingdom of England.
```
## Include configuration options with the input
Table-layout expects an array of objects as the input. However, if the input data is a plain object with the fields `options` and `data` defined then these properties will be used as the table options and data respectively. Example:
```
{
"options": {
"noTrim": true,
"columns": [
{ "name": "name", "width": 25 },
{ "name": "description", "width": 20 },
{ "name": "html_url", "width": 20, "break": true },
{ "name": "stargazers_count", "width": 5 }
]
},
"data": [
...
]
}
```
Please see [this folder]() for examples of input containing both options and data.
## Full command-line usage guide:
```
table-layout
Styleable plain-text table generator. Useful for formatting console output.
Synopsis
$ cat json-file | table-layout [options]
$ table-layout [options] json-file
Options
--file string A JSON input file to read. If not present, table-layout will look for input
on stdin.
-w, --width widths specify a list of column widths in the format '<column>:<width>', for
example:
$ cat <file> | table-layout --width "column 1: 10" "column 2: 30"
-l, --padding-left string One or more characters to pad the left of each column. Defaults to ' '.
-r, --padding-right string One or more characters to pad the right of each column. Defaults to ' '.
-h, --help
```
## Programmatic Usage
Using the table-layout API directly from Javascript gives you a little more power and flexibility over the output.
### Install as a library
Add table-output to your project:
```
$ npm install --save table-layout
```
### Display an array of objects as a table
Trivial example. Read a JSON file from disk and output a table with a maximum width (in characters) of 60.
```js
import Table from 'table-layout'
import { promises as fs } from 'fs'
const issues = await fs.readFile('./issues.json', 'utf8')
const table = new Table(JSON.parse(issues), { maxWidth: 60 })
console.log(table.toString())
```

## Load anywhere
### Cherry-picked and computed values
This library is compatible with Node.js, the Web and any style of module loader. It can be loaded anywhere, natively without transpilation.
Sometimes, your input data might contain a deeper structure or you want to transform or compute some values. Some example input data with structural depth and large numbers you'd like to reformat:
Node.js:
```js
const TableLayout = require('table-layout')
```json
[
{
"country": { "name": "USA" },
"GDP": 19485394000000,
"population": 325084756
},
{
"country": { "name": "China" },
"GDP": 12237700479375,
"population": 1421021791
},
{
"country": { "name": "Japan" },
"GDP": 4872415104315,
"population": 127502725
}
]
```

const germanNumber = new Intl.NumberFormat('de-DE', { notation: 'compact', maximumSignificantDigits: 3, maximumFractionDigits: 0 })
