uitable is a go library for representing data as tables for terminal applications. It provides primitives for sizing and wrapping columns to improve readability.
Full source code for the example is available at example/main.go
table := uitable.New()
table.MaxColWidth = 50
table.AddRow("NAME", "BIRTHDAY", "BIO")
for _, hacker := range hackers {
table.AddRow(hacker.Name, hacker.Birthday, hacker.Bio)
}
fmt.Println(table)Will render the data as:
NAME BIRTHDAY BIO

table = uitable.New()
table.MaxColWidth = 80
table.Wrap = true // wrap columns
for _, hacker := range hackers {
table.AddRow("Name:", hacker.Name)
table.AddRow("Birthday:", hacker.Birthday)
table.AddRow("Bio:", hacker.Bio)
table.AddRow("") // blank
}
fmt.Println(table)Will render the data as:
Name: Ada Lovelace
