term-table-rs

The purpose of term-table-rs is to make displaying table data in CLI apps easier

Here is an example of how to create a table

let mut table = Table::new();
table.max_column_width = 40;

table.style = TableStyle::extended(); 

table.add_row(Row::new(vec![
    Cell::new_with_alignment("This is some centered text", 2, Alignment::Center)
])); 

table.add_row(Row::new(vec![
    Cell::new("This is left aligned text", 1),
    Cell::new_with_alignment("This is right aligned text", 1, Alignment::Right)
]));

table.add_row(Row::new(vec![
    Cell::new("This is left aligned text", 1),
    Cell::new_with_alignment("This is right aligned text", 1, Alignment::Right)
]));

table.add_row(Row::new(vec![
    Cell::new("This is some really really really really really really really really really that is going to wrap to the next line", 2),
]));   

println!("{}", table.as_string());

Here's the result

Table Styles

It is possible to define your own table styles by creating a new instance of TableStyle

This is what the extend table style implementation looks like. This is the defualy style in term-table-rs

pub fn extended() -> TableStyle {
    return TableStyle {
        top_left_corner: '╔',
        top_right_corner: '╗',
        bottom_left_corner: '╚',
        bottom_right_corner: '╝',
        outer_left_vertical: '╠',
        outer_right_vertical: '╣',
        outer_bottom_horizontal: '╩',
        outer_top_horizontal: '╦',
        intersection: '╬',
        vertical: '║',
        horizontal: '═',
    };
}

TableStyle also implements a simple() table style function and a blank() table style function

Those styles looks like this

Column Widths

It is possible to control the maximum width of table columns. The max_column_width property of Table can be set to restrict the width of all cells. The set_max_column_width function of Table can be used to set the max width of a specific column. The set_max_column_widths function provides the ability to set the width of multiple columns by passing in a Vec of tuples containing an index and width.
