tabbs

A command line tool for displaying comma-separated data as a table in the terminal.

Features

Takes input from stdin
Supports specifying column names
Configurable header and cell colors
Easy to use

Installation

To install tabb, you will need Rust and Cargo installed on your system. You can find installation instructions at https://www.rust-lang.org/tools/install.

Once Rust and Cargo are installed, you can build and install tabb using the following command:

$ cargo install --path .

Usage

To use tabb, you need to pipe input data to the tool, specifying the column names with the -c flag:

$ echo "jack,35,neat\n\
        jane,50,cool\n\
        erin,20,nice" | tabb -c "name,age,text"

This will produce the following output:

+------+-----+------+
| name | age | text |
+------+-----+------+
| jack | 35  | neat |
| jane | 50  | cool |
| erin | 20  | nice |
+------+-----+------+

Specifying Colors

You can also specify the header and cell colors using the --header-color and --cell-color flags:

$ echo "jack,35,neat\n\
        jane,50,cool\n\
        erin,20,ah" | tabb -c "name,age,text" --header-color blue --cell-color green

This will produce a table with blue headers and green cell text.
