A small library for pretty-printing tables in monospace text.

Example

let data = [["Some", "printable"], ["data", "fields"]];
let mut out = Vec::new();
text_tables::render(&mut out, data).unwrap();
println!("{}", ::std::str::from_utf8(&out).unwrap());

Text-tables

This library provides very simple table printing using text characters. It has no dependencies besides std. I'm interested in making it no_std if this is possible, contributions welcome!

Example

extern crate text_tables;

use std::str;
use std::io;

fn main() {
    // can be vec or slices
    let data = [["A", "2x2"], ["pretty", "table"]];
    // we can either render to an array...
    let mut out = Vec::new();
    text_tables::render(&mut out, data).unwrap();
    println!("{}", str::from_utf8(&out).unwrap());
    // ...or we can use `Write` streams directly
    text_tables::render(&mut io::stdout(), data).unwrap();
}

outputs

+--------+-------+
| A      | 2x2   |
+--------+-------+
| pretty | table |
+--------+-------+
