    [ 'foo', '1006' ],
    [ 'bar', '45' ]
], { align: [ 'l', 'r' ] });
console.log(t);

beep   1024
boop  33450
foo    1006
bar      45

dotted align

var t = table([
    [ 'beep', '1024' ],
    [ 'boop', '334.212' ],
    [ 'foo', '1006' ],
    [ 'bar', '45.6' ],
    [ 'baz', '123.' ]

console.log(t);

beep  1024
boop   334.212
foo   1006
bar     45.6
baz    123.

centered

var table = require('text-table');
var t = table([
    [ 'beep', '1024', 'xyz' ],
    [ 'boop', '3388450', 'tuv' ],
    [ 'foo', '10106', 'qrstuv' ],
    [ 'bar', '45', 'lmno' ]
], { align: [ 'l', 'c', 'l' ] });
console.log(t);

methods

var table = require('text-table')

var s = table(rows, opts={})

Return a formatted table string s from an array of rows and some options opts.

rows should be an array of arrays containing strings, numbers, or other printable values.

options can be:

• opts.hsep - separator to use between columns, default ' '
• opts.align - array of alignment types for each column, default ['l','l',...]
• opts.stringLength - callback function to use when calculating the string length

alignment types are:

• 'l' - left
• 'r' - right
• 'c' - center
• '.' - decimal

install

With npm do:

npm install text-table

Use with ANSI-colors

Since the string length of ANSI color schemes does not equal the length JavaScript sees internally it is necessary to pass the a custom string length calculator during the main function call.

See the test/ansi-colors.js file for an example.
