decision-table-markdown

This little helper is inspired by the blog post "DECISION TABLES" by Hillel Wayne.

decision-table-markdown allows you to create a decision table for a given amount of conditions (true/false).

Right now, you have to clone this repository to change the output (maybe I'll find some time to improve this into a CLI based on the CLI best practies by Liran Tal - or somebody sends a PR ;))

Creating a table

npx ts-node src/index.ts <numberOfConditions>

e.g.

npx ts-node src/index.ts 3

Output

Plain text:

| | | | | |
|-|-|-|-|-|
|1|x|x|x||
|2|x|x|-||
|3|x|-|x||
|4|x|-|-||
|5|-|x|x||
|6|-|x|-||
|7|-|-|x||
|8|-|-|-||

Displayed as Markdown:

| | | | | | |-|-|-|-|-| |1|x|x|x|| |2|x|x|-|| |3|x|-|x|| |4|x|-|-|| |5|-|x|x|| |6|-|x|-|| |7|-|-|x|| |8|-|-|-||

Just fill your condition names into the headers and the expected result into the last column.

ToDo

• [ ] Create a npm installable CLI
• [ ] Get condition headers from CLI
