## Usage
Table data is described using an array (rows) of array (cells).
```js
import {
table
} from 'table';
// Using commonjs?
// const {table} = require('table');
let data,
output;
data = [
['0A', '0B', '0C'],
['1A', '1B', '1C'],
['2A', '2B', '2C']
];

### Cell Content Alignment
`{string} config.columns[{number}].alignment` property controls content horizontal alignment within a cell.
Valid values are: "left", "right" and "center".
```js
let config,
data,
output;
data = [
['0A', '0B', '0C'],
['1A', '1B', '1C'],
['2A', '2B', '2C']
];
config = {
columns: {
0: {
alignment: 'left',
minWidth: 10
},
1: {
alignment: 'center',
minWidth: 10
},
2: {
alignment: 'right',
minWidth: 10
}
}
};
output = table(data, config);
console.log(output);
```

<a name="table-usage-column-width"></a>
### Column Width
`{number} config.columns[{number}].width` property restricts column width to a fixed width.
```js
let data,
output,
options;
data = [
['0A', '0B', '0C'],
['1A', '1B', '1C'],
['2A', '2B', '2C']
];
options = {
columns: {
1: {
width: 10
}
}
};
output = table(data, options);
console.log(output);

<a name="table-usage-custom-border"></a>
### Custom Border
`{object} config.border` property describes characters used to draw the table border.
```js
let config,
data,
output;
data = [
['0A', '0B', '0C'],
['1A', '1B', '1C'],
['2A', '2B', '2C']
];
config = {
border: {
topBody: `─`,
topJoin: `┬`,
topLeft: `┌`,
topRight: `┐`,
bottomBody: `─`,
bottomJoin: `┴`,
bottomLeft: `└`,
bottomRight: `┘`,
bodyLeft: `│`,
bodyRight: `│`,
bodyJoin: `│`,
joinBody: `─`,
joinLeft: `├`,
joinRight: `┤`,
joinJoin: `┼`
}
};
output = table(data, config);
console.log(output);

<a name="table-usage-draw-horizontal-line"></a>
### Draw Horizontal Line
`{function} config.drawHorizontalLine` property is a function that is called for every non-content row in the table. The result of the function `{boolean}` determines whether a row is drawn.
```js
let data,
output,
options;
data = [
['0A', '0B', '0C'],
['1A', '1B', '1C'],
['2A', '2B', '2C'],
['3A', '3B', '3C'],
['4A', '4B', '4C']
];
options = {
/**
* @typedef {function} drawJoin
* @param {number} index
* @param {number} size
* @return {boolean}
*/
drawHorizontalLine: (index, size) => {
return index === 0 || index === 1 || index === size - 1 || index === size;
}
};
output = table(data, options);
console.log(output);
```

<a name="table-usage-padding-cell-content"></a>
### Padding Cell Content
`{number} config.columns[{number}].paddingLeft` and `{number} config.columns[{number}].paddingRight` properties control content padding within a cell. Property value represents a number of whitespaces used to pad the content.
```js
let config,
data,
output;
data = [
['0A', 'AABBCC', '0C'],
['1A', '1B', '1C'],
['2A', '2B', '2C']
];
config = {
columns: {
0: {
paddingLeft: 3
},
1: {
width: 2,
paddingRight: 3
}
}
};
output = table(data, config);
console.log(output);
```

<a name="table-usage-predefined-border-templates"></a>
### Predefined Border Templates
You can load one of the predefined border templates using `getBorderCharacters` function.
```js
import {
table,
getBorderCharacters
} from 'table';
let config,
data;
data = [
['0A', '0B', '0C'],
['1A', '1B', '1C'],
['2A', '2B', '2C']
];
config = {
border: getBorderCharacters(`name of the template`)
};
table(data, config);
```
```

Raise [an issue](https://github.com/gajus/table/issues) if you'd like to contribute a new border template.
<a name="table-usage-predefined-border-templates-borderless-table"></a>
#### Borderless Table
Simply using "void" border character template creates a table with a lot of unnecessary spacing.
To create a more plesant to the eye table, reset the padding and remove the joining rows, e.g.
```js
let output;
output = table(data, {
border: getBorderCharacters(`void`),
columnDefault: {
paddingLeft: 0,
paddingRight: 1
},
drawJoin: () => {
return false
}
});
console.log(output);
```
```
0A 0B 0C
1A 1B 1C
2A 2B 2C
```

### Streaming
`table` package exports `createStream` function used to draw a table and append rows.
`createStream` requires `{number} columnDefault.width` and `{number} columnCount` configuration properties.
```js
import {
createStream
} from 'table';
let config,
stream;
config = {
columnDefault: {
width: 50
},
columnCount: 1
};
stream = createStream(config);
setInterval(() => {
stream.write([new Date()]);
}, 500);
```
![Streaming current date.](./.README/streaming.gif)
`table` package uses ANSI escape codes to overwrite the output of the last line when a new row is printed.
The underlying implementation is explained in this [Stack Overflow answer](http://stackoverflow.com/a/32938658/368691).
Streaming supports all of the configuration properties and functionality of a static table (such as auto text wrapping, alignment and padding), e.g.
```js
import {
createStream
} from 'table';
import _ from 'lodash';
let config,
stream,
i;
config = {
columnDefault: {
width: 50
},
columnCount: 3,
columns: {
0: {
width: 10,
alignment: 'right'
},
1: {
alignment: 'center',
},
2: {
width: 10
}
}
};
stream = createStream(config);
i = 0;
setInterval(() => {
let random;
random = _.sample('abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz', _.random(1, 30)).join('');
stream.write([i++, new Date(), random]);
}, 500);
```

<a name="table-usage-text-truncation"></a>
### Text Truncation
To handle a content that overflows the container width, `table` package implements [text wrapping](#table-usage-text-wrapping). However, sometimes you may want to truncate content that is too long to be displayed in the table.
`{number} config.columns[{number}].truncate` property (default: `Infinity`) truncates the text at the specified length.
```js
let config,
data,
output;
data = [
['Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Phasellus pulvinar nibh sed mauris convallis dapibus. Nunc venenatis tempus nulla sit amet viverra.']
];
config = {
columns: {
0: {
width: 20,
truncate: 100
}
}
};
output = table(data, config);
console.log(output);
```
```
╔══════════════════════╗
║ Lorem ipsum dolor si ║
║ t amet, consectetur ║
║ adipiscing elit. Pha ║
║ sellus pulvinar nibh ║
║ sed mauris conva... ║
╚══════════════════════╝
```
<a name="table-usage-text-wrapping"></a>
### Text Wrapping
`table` package implements auto text wrapping, i.e. text that has width greater than the container width will be separated into multiple lines, e.g.
```js
let config,
data,
output;
data = [
['Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Phasellus pulvinar nibh sed mauris convallis dapibus. Nunc venenatis tempus nulla sit amet viverra.']
];
config = {
columns: {
0: {
width: 20
}
}
};
output = table(data, config);
console.log(output);
```
```
╔══════════════════════╗
║ Lorem ipsum dolor si ║
║ t amet, consectetur ║
║ adipiscing elit. Pha ║
║ sellus pulvinar nibh ║
║ sed mauris convallis ║
║ dapibus. Nunc venena ║
║ tis tempus nulla sit ║
║ amet viverra. ║
╚══════════════════════╝
```
When `wrapWord` is `true` the text is broken at the nearest space or one of the special characters ("-", "_", "\", "/", ".", ",", ";"), e.g.
```js
let config,
data,
output;
data = [
['Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Phasellus pulvinar nibh sed mauris convallis dapibus. Nunc venenatis tempus nulla sit amet viverra.']
];
config = {
columns: {
0: {
width: 20,
wrapWord: true
}
}
};
output = table(data, config);
console.log(output);
```
```
