Table

Create an array of objects from a table of data defined in a template string.

Runtime

The default import will convert the table into an array of objects at runtime.

import table from '@cameronhunter/table';

type Data = {
  cell: number;
  presentation: 'slideshow' | 'static';
  preloading: boolean;
};

const data: Data[] = table`
  cell | presentation   | preloading
  ${2} | ${'slideshow'} | ${true}
  ${3} | ${'static'}    | ${true}
  ${4} | ${'slideshow'} | ${false}
  ${5} | ${'static'}    | ${false}
`;

Babel Macro

The babel macro will convert the table into an array of objects at build time. The usage is the same as the runtime function, just a different import.

import table from '@cameronhunter/table/macro';

type Data = {
  cell: number;
  presentation: 'slideshow' | 'static';
  preloading: boolean;
};

const data: Data[] = table`
  cell | presentation   | preloading
  ${2} | ${'slideshow'} | ${true}
  ${3} | ${'static'}    | ${true}
  ${4} | ${'slideshow'} | ${false}
  ${5} | ${'static'}    | ${false}
`;
