# uitable [![GoDoc](https://godoc.org/github.com/gosuri/uitable?status.svg)](https://godoc.org/github.com/gosuri/uitable) [![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/gosuri/uitable.svg?branch=master)](https://travis-ci.org/gosuri/uitable)

uitable is a go library for representing data as tables for terminal applications. It provides primitives for sizing and wrapping columns to improve readability.

## Example Usage

Full source code for the example is available at [example/main.go](example/main.go)

```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:

```sh
NAME BIRTHDAY BIO
Ada Lovelace December 10, 1815 Ada was a British mathematician and writer, chi...
Alan Turing June 23, 1912 Alan was a British pioneering computer scientis...
```

For wrapping in two columns:

```go
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
Birthday: December 10, 1815
Bio: Ada was a British mathematician and writer, chiefly known for her work on
Charles Babbage's early mechanical general-purpose computer, the Analytical
Engine

Name: Alan Turing
Birthday: June 23, 1912
Bio: Alan was a British pioneering computer scientist, mathematician, logician,
cryptanalyst and theoretical biologist
```
