Usage

import TableText from 'tabletext'
const data: object[] = TableText.parse(`
    // Support for parallel slash annotations
    // The first line will be identified as keys
    |  id   | gender |  age
    |  1    |   1    |   16
    |  2    |   0    |   24
`)
/* [
    {id: '1', gender: '1', age: '16'},
    {id: '2', gender: '0', age: '24'}

Introduction

TableText.parse(tableLikeString: string, decode?: boolean) : { key: string: string }[]

• Parallel slash annotations is supported, which would be removed before parsing.
• The first line would be identified as keys.
• The first letter of the line is a delimiter, tell the parser how to split that line.
• The delimiter should be a punctuations
• When decode param was true, the keys and values would be decoded by window.unescape
