Get Tabby

import "github.com/cheynewallace/tabby"Tabby is a tiny (around 70 lines of code) efficient libary for writing extremely simple table based terminal output in Golang.
Many table libraries out there are overly complicated and packed with features you don't need. If you simply want to write clean output to your terminal in table format with minimal effort, Tabby is for you.
Typical examples
- Writing simple tables with heading and tab spaced columns
- Writing log lines to the terminal with evenly spaced columns
t := tabby.New()
t.AddHeader("NAME", "TITLE", "DEPARTMENT")
t.AddLine("John Smith", "Developer", "Engineering")
t.Print()Output
NAME TITLE DEPARTMENT
---- ----- ----------
John Smith Developer Engineering
t := tabby.New()
t.AddLine("Info:", "WEB", "Success 200")
t.AddLine("Info:", "API", "Success 201")
t.AddLine("Error:", "DATABASE", "Connection Established")
t.Print()Output
Info: WEB Success 200
Info: API Success 201
Error: DATABASE Connection Established
w := tabwriter.NewWriter(os.Stdout, 0, 0, 2, ' ', 0)
t := tabby.NewCustom(w)- Default writer (os.Stdout) example:
package main
import "github.com/cheynewallace/tabby"
func main() {
t := tabby.New()
t.AddHeader("NAME", "TITLE", "DEPARTMENT")
t.AddLine("John Smith", "Developer", "Engineering")
t.Print()
}- File writer example:
package main
import (
"os"
"text/tabwriter"
"github.com/cheynewallace/tabby"
)
func main() {
fd, _ := os.OpenFile("test.txt", os.O_CREATE|os.O_TRUNC|os.O_WRONLY, 0644)
defer fd.Close()
w := tabwriter.NewWriter(fd, 0, 0, 4, ' ', 0)
t := tabby.NewCustom(w)
t.AddHeader("NAME", "TITLE", "DEPARTMENT")
t.AddLine("John Smith", "Developer", "Engineering")
t.Print()
}
