tablemark

Generate markdown tables from JSON data.

Parses arrays of objects into markdown tables, complete with configuration for renaming columns and left, center, or right-aligning them.

This is a patched version of citycide/tablemark library which can be used in NX/React/ReduxToolkit/TypeScript stack.

installation

yarn add @plesk-tools/tablemark

usage

const tablemark = require('tablemark')
tablemark([
  { name: 'Bob', age: 21, isCool: false },
  { name: 'Sarah', age: 22, isCool: true },
  { name: 'Lee', age: 23, isCool: true }
])

// | Name  | Age   | Is cool |
// | ----- | ----- | ------- |
// | Bob   | 21    | false   |
// | Sarah | 22    | true    |
// | Lee   | 23    | true    |

... displays as:

NameAgeIs cool
Bob21false
Sarah22true
Lee23true

api

tablemark(input[, options = {}])

Arguments

  • {Array<Object>} input: the data to table-ify
  • {Object} [options = {}]
keytypedefaultdescription
columns<Array>-Array of column descriptors.
caseHeaders<Boolean>trueSentence case headers derived from keys.
stringify<Function>-Provide a custom "toString" function.
wrap.width<Number>InfinityWrap texts at this length.
wrap.gutters<Boolean>falseAdd sides (\| <content> \|) to wrapped rows.

The columns array can either contain objects, in which case their name and align properties will be used to alter the display of the column in the table, or any other type which will be coerced to a string if necessary and used as a replacement for the column name.

columns

tablemark([
  { name: 'Bob', age: 21, isCool: false },
  { name: 'Sarah', age: 22, isCool: true },
  { name: 'Lee', age: 23, isCool: true }
], {
  columns: [
    'first name',
    { name: 'how old', align: 'center' },
    'are they cool'
  ]
})

// | first name | how old | are they cool |
// | ---------- | :-----: | ------------- |
// | Bob        |   21    | false         |
// | Sarah      |   22    | true          |
// | Lee        |   23    | true          |

... displays as:

first namehow oldare they cool
Bob21false
Sarah22true
Lee23true

stringify

tablemark([
  { name: 'Bob', pet_owner: true, studying: false },
  { name: 'Sarah', pet_owner: false, studying: true },
  { name: 'Sarah', pet_owner: true, studying: true }
], {
  stringify,
  columns: [
    { align: 'left' },
    { align: 'center' },
    { align: 'center' }
  ]
})

function stringify (v) {
  if (v === true) return '✔'
  if (!v) return ''
  return v
}

// | Name  | Pet owner | Studying |
// | :---- | :-------: | :------: |
// | Bob   |     ✔︎     |          |
// | Sarah |           |    ✔     |
// | Lee   |     ✔     |    ✔     |

wrap

To output valid GitHub Flavored Markdown a cell must not contain newlines. Consider replacing those with <br /> (e.g. using the stringify option).

Set the wrap.width option to wrap any content at that length onto a new adjacent line:

tablemark([
  { star: false, name: 'Benjamin' },
  { star: true, name: 'Jet Li' }
], { wrap: { width: 5 } })

// | Star  | Name  |
// | ----- | ----- |
// | false | Benja |
//           min
// | true  | Jet   |
//           Li

Enable wrap.gutters to add pipes on all lines:

tablemark([
  { star: false, name: 'Benjamin' },
  { star: true, name: 'Jet Li' }
], { wrap: { width: 5, gutters: true } })

// | Star  | Name  |
// | ----- | ----- |
// | false | Benja |
// |       | min   |
// | true  | Jet   |
// |       | Li    |
