Pretty unicode tables for the CLI with CPP
I was looking for a simple and beautiful unicode table for the CLI for a toy project written in C++ but didn't found one that satisfy my needs then I build one 😄 Base on this JavaScript project .
- CMAKE 3.10 or greater
- Clang or G++ 7.3.0 (That supports C++17)
- Conan - C++ package manager, needed if you want to run tests
If all requirements are met then you can build using cmake :
cmake --build .
The resulting binary will be the located in the bin folder.
To run test with make
make build run clean
You need first to include the header files Table.hpp and Utils.hpp.
#include <iostream>
#include "Table.hpp"
#include <string>
// Options for the table to draw
Cli::Options opt;
// Contructing the table structure
TableBody content = {
{ "value \nmultilines ?" , "Nope \njust \ntesting" },
{ "value Yes\n are you sure?" , "Teufy" },
{ "This \nis me !" , "Heuh \nanother one" },
{ "value \nmultilines ?" , "Nope \njust \ntesting" },
{ "value Yes\n are you sure?" , "Teufy" },
};
// Or you can use the push_back() method
content.push_back( { "This \nis me !" , "Heuh \nanother one" } );
Cli::Table table(opt,content);
//Generating the final table
table.generate();
Here is the result in image of what you can get after running the tests or after your own customization:
If you found a bug or want to add a new feature, create a new branch and work on it after when it's ready open a pull request and after reviewing the branch will be merge into the master branch.
