A formatted and aligned table printer written in rust. This is a work in progress for now.
How to build
As usual with Cargo project, simply run
cargo build
And to build html documentation, run
cargo doc
How to use
More often, you will include the library as a dependency to your project. In order to do this, add the following lines to your Cargo.toml file :
[]
= "https://github.com/phsym/prettytable-rs.git"
Then you can start using it the following way :
extern crate prettytable;
use Table;
use Row;
use Cell;
This code will produce the following output :
+---------+------+---------+
| ABC | DEFG | HIJKLMN |
+---------+------+---------+
| foobar | bar | foo |
+---------+------+---------+
| foobar2 | bar2 | foo2 |
+---------+------+---------+
To make the code simpler, the table!
macro is there for you. The following code would produce the exact same output :
extern crate prettytable;
Using the ptable!
macro would even print it on stdout for you.
Tables also support multiline cells content. As a consequence, you can print a table into another table (yo dawg ;). For example, the following code
let table1 = table!;
let table2 = table!;
table2.printstd;
Would print the following text :
+-------------------------+------------------------------+
| Title 1 | Title 2 |
+-------------------------+------------------------------+
| This is | foo |
| a multiline | |
| cell | |
+-------------------------+------------------------------+
| Yo dawg ;) You can even | +---------+------+---------+ |
| print tables | | ABC | DEFG | HIJKLMN | |
| into tables | +---------+------+---------+ |
| | | foobar | bar | foo | |
| | +---------+------+---------+ |
| | | foobar2 | bar2 | foo2 | |
| | +---------+------+---------+ |
+-------------------------+------------------------------+
Rows may have different numbers of cells. The table will automatically adapt to the largest row by printing additional empty cells in smaller rows.
