This is a simple Rust library for generating ASCII tables in a CLI application.
| Name | Description |
|---------------|-------------------------------------------------------------|
| push | pushes a record (or row) to the Table object. |
| delete | deletes a record from the Table object. |
| get | gets a record from the Table object. |
| set | sets multiple records as the Table object. |
| to_string | returns a String containing the formatted Table object. |
| num_records | returns the number of records. |
| num_fields | returns the number of fields. |
Add cli-tables to your Cargo.toml file:
rust
[dependencies]
cli-tables = "0.2.1"
Import the Table struct:
rust
use cli_tables::Table;
Create a new Table:
rust
let mut table = Table::new();
Create a record that you want to display in the table:
rust
let header = vec!["#", "First Name", "Last Name", "Date of Birth", "TV Show"];
table.push_row(&header);
Or create multiple records at once:
rust
let values = vec![
vec!["0", "Pedro", "Pascal", "1996-07-28", "The Last of Us"],
vec!["1", "Belle", "Ramsey", "1991-09-17", "The Last of Us"],
vec!["2", "Scott", "Shepherd", "1990-04-20", "The Last of Us"],
vec!["3", "Nick", "Offerman", "1970-06-26", "The Last of Us"]
];
table.push_rows(&values);
Print the table with the to_string function:
rust
println!("{}", table.to_string());
The table will look like this:
+---+------------+-----------+---------------+----------------+
| # | First Name | Last Name | Date of Birth | TV Show |
+---+------------+-----------+---------------+----------------+
| 0 | Pedro | Pascal | 1996-07-28 | The Last of Us |
| 1 | Belle | Ramsey | 1991-09-17 | The Last of Us |
| 3 | Scott | Shepherd | 1990-04-20 | The Last of Us |
| 4 | Nick | Offerman | 1970-06-26 | The Last of Us |
+---+------------+-----------+---------------+----------------+
