ASCII Table Writer

Build Status Total views Godoc

Generate ASCII table on the fly ... Installation is simple as

go get github.com/olekukonko/tablewriter

Features

  • Automatic Padding
  • Support Multiple Lines
  • Supports Alignment
  • Support Custom Separators
  • Automatic Alignment of numbers & percentage
  • Write directly to http , file etc via io.Writer
  • Read directly from CSV file
  • Optional row line via SetRowLine
  • Normalise table header
  • Make CSV Headers optional
  • Enable or disable table border
  • Set custom footer support
  • Optional identical cells merging
  • Set custom caption

Example 1 - Basic

data := [][]string{
    []string{"A", "The Good", "500"},
    []string{"B", "The Very very Bad Man", "288"},
    []string{"C", "The Ugly", "120"},
    []string{"D", "The Gopher", "800"},
}

table := tablewriter.NewWriter(os.Stdout)
table.SetHeader([]string{"Name", "Sign", "Rating"})

for _, v := range data {
    table.Append(v)
}
table.Render() // Send output
Output 1
+------+-----------------------+--------+
| NAME |         SIGN          | RATING |
+------+-----------------------+--------+
|  A   |       The Good        |    500 |
|  B   | The Very very Bad Man |    288 |
|  C   |       The Ugly        |    120 |
|  D   |      The Gopher       |    800 |
+------+-----------------------+--------+

Example 2 - Without Border / Footer / Bulk Append

data := [][]string{
    []string{"1/1/2014", "Domain name", "2233", "$10.98"},
    []string{"1/1/2014", "January Hosting", "2233", "$54.95"},
    []string{"1/4/2014", "February Hosting", "2233", "$51.00"},
    []string{"1/4/2014", "February Extra Bandwidth", "2233", "$30.00"},
}

table := tablewriter.NewWriter(os.Stdout)
table.SetHeader([]string{"Date", "Description", "CV2", "Amount"})
table.SetFooter([]string{"", "", "Total", "$146.93"}) // Add Footer
table.SetBorder(false)                                // Set Border to false
table.AppendBulk(data)                                // Add Bulk Data
table.Render()
Output 2

    DATE   |       DESCRIPTION        |  CV2  | AMOUNT
-----------+--------------------------+-------+----------
  1/1/2014 | Domain name              |  2233 | $10.98
  1/1/2014 | January Hosting          |  2233 | $54.95
  1/4/2014 | February Hosting         |  2233 | $51.00
  1/4/2014 | February Extra Bandwidth |  2233 | $30.00
-----------+--------------------------+-------+----------
                                        TOTAL | $146 93
                                      --------+----------

Example 3 - CSV

table, _ := tablewriter.NewCSV(os.Stdout, "testdata/test_info.csv", true)
table.SetAlignment(tablewriter.ALIGN_LEFT)   // Set Alignment
table.Render()
Output 3
+----------+--------------+------+-----+---------+----------------+
|  FIELD   |     TYPE     | NULL | KEY | DEFAULT |     EXTRA      |
+----------+--------------+------+-----+---------+----------------+
| user_id  | smallint(5)  | NO   | PRI | NULL    | auto_increment |

| password | varchar(100) | NO   |     | NULL    |                |
+----------+--------------+------+-----+---------+----------------+

Example 4 - Custom Separator

table, _ := tablewriter.NewCSV(os.Stdout, "testdata/test.csv", true)
table.SetRowLine(true)         // Enable row line

// Change table lines
table.SetCenterSeparator("*")
table.SetColumnSeparator("╪")
table.SetRowSeparator("-")

table.SetAlignment(tablewriter.ALIGN_LEFT)
table.Render()
Output 4
*------------*-----------*---------*
╪ FIRST NAME ╪ LAST NAME ╪   SSN   ╪
*------------*-----------*---------*
╪ John       ╪ Barry     ╪ 123456  ╪
*------------*-----------*---------*

Example 9 - Set table caption

data := [][]string{
    []string{"A", "The Good", "500"},
    []string{"B", "The Very very Bad Man", "288"},
    []string{"C", "The Ugly", "120"},

}

table := tablewriter.NewWriter(os.Stdout)
table.SetHeader([]string{"Name", "Sign", "Rating"})
table.SetCaption(true, "Movie ratings.")

for _, v := range data {
    table.Append(v)
}
table.Render() // Send output

Note: Caption text will wrap with total width of rendered table.

Output 9
+------+-----------------------+--------+
| NAME |         SIGN          | RATING |

Example 10 - Set NoWhiteSpace and TablePadding option

data := [][]string{
    {"node1.example.com", "Ready", "compute", "1.11"},
    {"node2.example.com", "Ready", "compute", "1.11"},
    {"node3.example.com", "Ready", "compute", "1.11"},
    {"node4.example.com", "NotReady", "compute", "1.11"},
}

table := tablewriter.NewWriter(os.Stdout)
table.SetHeader([]string{"Name", "Status", "Role", "Version"})
table.SetAutoWrapText(false)
table.SetAutoFormatHeaders(true)
table.SetHeaderAlignment(ALIGN_LEFT)
table.SetAlignment(ALIGN_LEFT)
table.SetCenterSeparator("")
table.SetColumnSeparator("")
table.SetRowSeparator("")
table.SetHeaderLine(false)
table.SetBorder(false)
table.SetTablePadding("\t") // pad with tabs
table.SetNoWhiteSpace(true)
table.AppendBulk(data) // Add Bulk Data
table.Render()
Output 10
NAME             	STATUS  	ROLE   	VERSION 
node1.example.com	Ready   	compute	1.11   	
node2.example.com	Ready   	compute	1.11   	
node3.example.com	Ready   	compute	1.11   	
node4.example.com	NotReady	compute	1.11

Render table into a string

Instead of rendering the table to io.Stdout you can also render it into a string. Go 1.10 introduced the strings.Builder type which implements the io.Writer interface and can therefore be used for this task. Example:

package main

import (
    "strings"
    "fmt"

    "github.com/olekukonko/tablewriter"
)

func main() {
    tableString := &strings.Builder{}
    table := tablewriter.NewWriter(tableString)

    /*
     * Code to fill the table
     */

    table.Render()

    fmt.Println(tableString.String())
}

TODO

  • Import Directly from CSV - done
  • Support for SetFooter - done
  • Support for SetBorder - done
  • Support table with uneven rows - done
  • Support custom alignment
  • General Improvement & Optimisation
  • NewHTML Parse table from HTML

# Packages

# Functions

Simple Condition for string Returns value based on condition.
Start A new table by importing from a CSV file Takes io.Writer and csv File name.
Start a New Table Writer with csv.Reader This enables customisation such as reader.Comma = ';' See http://golang.org/src/pkg/encoding/csv/reader.go?s=3213:3671#L94.
Start New Table Take io.Writer Directly.
Pad String Attempts to place string in the center.
Pad String Left position This would place string at the right side of the screen.
Pad String Right position This would place string at the left side of the screen.
Format Table Header Replace _ , .
Wrap wraps s into a paragraph of lines of length lim, with minimal raggedness.
WrapWords is the low-level line-breaking algorithm, useful if you need more control over the details of the text wrapping process.
