## 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']
];

/**
 * @typedef {string} table~cell
 */

/**
 * @typedef {table~cell[]} table~row
 */

/**
 * @typedef {Object} table~columns
 * @property {string} alignment Cell content alignment (enum: left, center, right) (default: left).
 * @property {number} width Column width (default: auto).
 * @property {number} truncate Number of characters are which the content will be truncated (default: Infinity).
 * @property {number} paddingLeft Cell content padding width left (default: 1).
 * @property {number} paddingRight Cell content padding width right (default: 1).
 */

/**

<a name="table-usage-cell-content-alignment"></a>
### 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',
      width: 10
    },
    1: {
      alignment: 'center',
      width: 10
    },
    2: {
      alignment: 'right',
      width: 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: `├`,

<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} drawHorizontalLine
    * @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-single-line-mode"></a>
### Single Line Mode

Horizontal lines inside the table are not drawn.

```js
import {
  table,
  getBorderCharacters
} from 'table';

const data = [
  ['-rw-r--r--', '1', 'pandorym', 'staff', '1529', 'May 23 11:25', 'LICENSE'],

<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);
```

<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
    },
    drawHorizontalLine: () => {
        return false
    }
});

console.log(output);
```

```
0A 0B 0C
1A 1B 1C
2A 2B 2C
```

<a name="table-usage-streaming"></a>
### 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);
```

```
