config.drawVerticalLine
Type: (lineIndex: number, columnCount: number) => boolean
Default: () => true
It is used to tell whether to draw a vertical line. This callback is called for each vertical border of the table.
If the table has n
columns, then the index
parameter is alternatively received all numbers in range [0, n]
inclusively.

config.spanningCells
Type: SpanningCellConfig[]
Spanning cells configuration.
The configuration should be straightforward: just specify an array of minimal cell configurations including the position of top-left cell and the number of columns and/or rows will be expanded from it.
The content of overlap cells will be ignored to make the data
shape be consistent.
By default, the configuration of column that the top-left cell belongs to will be applied to the whole spanning cell, except:
- The
width
will be summed up of all spanning columns. - The
paddingRight
will be received from the right-most column intentionally.
Advances customized column-like styles can be configurable to each spanning cell to overwrite the default behavior.

createStream
table
package exports createStream
function used to draw a table and append rows.
Parameter:
- config: the same as
table
's, exceptconfig.columnDefault.width
andconfig.columnCount
must be provided.
import { createStream } from 'table';
const config = {
columnDefault: {
width: 50
},
columnCount: 1
};
const stream = createStream(config);
setInterval(() => {
stream.write([new Date()]);
}, 500);
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.
Streaming supports all of the configuration properties and functionality of a static table (such as auto text wrapping, alignment and padding), e.g.
import { createStream } from 'table';
import _ from 'lodash';
const config = {
columnDefault: {
width: 50
},
columnCount: 3,
columns: [
{
width: 10,
alignment: 'right'
},
{ alignment: 'center' },
{ width: 10 }
]
};
const stream = createStream(config);
let i = 0;
setInterval(() => {
let random;
random = _.sample('abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz', _.random(1, 30)).join('');
stream.write([i++, new Date(), random]);
}, 500);

function.

Borderless Table
Simply using void
border character template creates a table with a lot of unnecessary spacing.
To create a more pleasant to the eye table, reset the padding and remove the joining rows, e.g.
const output = table(data, {
border: getBorderCharacters('void'),
columnDefault: {
paddingLeft: 0,
paddingRight: 1
},
drawHorizontalLine: () => false
}
