Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

simple-text-table

Create a plain text table with a pre-defined style or a customized one. It also produces csv format from table data.

The table is made up of two parts: header and lines, each part having its own alignments, independent of each other. The alignments are: left, right and center. Left is the default choice. Header line and rows are not mandatory.

Blank spaces can be padded to the left of the table, leftPadding attribute is optional. undefined and null fields will be replaced by empty string.

You can choose from 4 different styles: line, clean, ascii or vertical. Default style is line (the parameter is optional). It is also possible to customize your one, by defining argument "style" as an object containing borders elements.

Install

npm install simple-text-table

Example:

const table = require('simple-text-table')

const tableData = {
    leftPadding: 5,
    headerAlign: [ 'left', 'right', 'center', '', 'left' ],
    headers:     [ 'Name', 'Rank', 'StarShip', 'Warp Speed', 'Series' ],
    rowAlign:    [ 'left', 'right', '', 'left', 'center' ],
    rows: [
      [ 'James Tiberius Kirk', 'Captain', 'NCC-1701 Enterprise', 8, 'Star Trek Classic' ],
      [ 'Kathryn Janeway', 'Captain', 'NCC-74656 Voyager', 9.975, 'Voyager' ],
      [ 'Spock', 'Science Officer', 'NCC-1701 Enterprise', undefined, 'Star Trek Classic' ],
      [ 'Jean-Luc Picard', 'Captain', 'NCC-1701 Enterprise-D', 9.6, 'Star Trek Next Generation' ],
      [ 'Data', 'Lt. Commander', null, 9.6, 'Star Trek Next Generation' ],
      [ 'Benjamin Sisko', 'Captain', 'NCC-1764 Defiant', 9.5,  'Deep Space 9' ],
      [ 'TPol', 'Science Officer', 'NX-01 Enterprise', 5.2, ]
    ]
}

let tableTxt = table.createTable(tableData)
console.log(tableTxt)
console.log()

const csvFormat = table.getCsvFormat(tableData)
console.log(csvFormat)
console.log()

tableTxt = table.createTable(tableData, 'clean')
console.log(tableTxt)

tableTxt = table.createTable(tableData, {
    upper: {
        line: ` `,
        join: ` `,
        left: ` `,
        right: ` `,
    },
    bottom: {
        line: ` `,
        join: ` `,
        left: ` `,
        right: ` `,
    },
    line: {
        left: ` `,
        right: ` `,
        join: `│`,
    },
    join: {
        line: ` `,
        left: ` `,
        right: ` `,
        cross: `│`
    }
})
console.log(tableTxt)
