IO ANSI Table

Prints data to STDOUT in a table with borders and colors. Can choose a table style to change the look of the table.

Installation

Add the :io_ansi_table dependency to your mix.exs file:

def deps() do

  [

    {:io_ansi_table, "~> 0.3"}

  ]

end

Usage

In config/config.exs, you should then configure the table formatting options.

Examples

config :io_ansi_table, headers: [:name, :dob, :likes]

config :io_ansi_table, header_fixes: %{~r[dob]i => "Date of Birth"}

config :io_ansi_table, sort_specs: [asc: :dob]

config :io_ansi_table, align_specs: [center: :dob]

config :io_ansi_table, margins: [top: 2, bottom: 2]

alias IO.ANSI.Table

people = [

  %{name: "Mike", likes: "ski, arts", dob: "1992-04-15"},

  %{name: "Mary", likes: "reading"  , dob: "1985-07-11"},

  %{name: "Ray" , likes: "cycling"  , dob: "1977-08-28"}

]

Table.format(people, style: :light)

Table.format(people, style: :medium)

Table.format(people, style: :dark)

print_table_people

Notes

For side-by-side tables, you can specify negative top margins.

Customization

You can create new table styles or modify any predefined one by changing the dependency's config/persist_styles.exs file. You would then need to run mix deps.compile io_ansi_table [--force] to make the changes effective.
