A small library for generating markdown tables. Inspired by picnic

Usage

Here's a simple example with Builder APIs

val table = TableBuilder()
    .header("Command", "Description")
    .row("git status", "List all new or modified files")
    .row("git diff", "Show file differences that haven't been staged")
    .build()

println(table.toString())

that would emit | Command | Description | | -- | -- | | git status | List all new or modified files | | git diff | Show file differences that haven't been staged |

DSL

For a more Kotlin-esque API, you can use DSL-like syntax

val table = table {
  header("Command", "Description")
  row("git status", "List all new or modified files")
  row("git diff", "Show file differences that haven't been staged")
}

Cell Alignment

Partition supports cell alignment by specifying it in your table header

val table = table {
  header(
    cell {
      value = "Command"
      alignment = Alignment.START
    },
    cell {
      value = "Description"
      alignment = Alignment.CENTER
    },
    cell {
      value = "Alias"
      alignment = Alignment.END
    }
  )
  row("git status", "List all new or modified files", "s")
  row("git diff", "Show file differences that haven't been staged", "d")
}

which yields

Command	Description	Alias
git status	List all new or modified files	s
git diff	Show file differences that haven't been staged	d

Regular Markdown

Of course, you can also just use regular markdown in your Cell values as well.

val table = table {
  header(
    cell {
      value = "Command"
      alignment = Alignment.START
    },
    cell {
      value = "Description"
      alignment = Alignment.CENTER
    },
    cell {
      value = "Alias"
      alignment = Alignment.END
    }
  )
  row("_git status_", "List all new or modified files", "s")
  row("_git diff_", "Show file differences that haven't been staged", "d")
}

which yields (notice the italics for the commands)

Command	Description	Alias
git status	List all new or modified files	s
git diff	Show file differences that haven't been staged	d

Features

• Explicit table headers
• Cell alignment
• Different markdown providers (upcoming)
