# Easytables

##### Make Markdown tables great again!

[Preview of usage of easytables](https://github.com/Myzel394/easytables.nvim/assets/50424412/d8bcb0c2-9b8b-468a-b1a8-f0032543f1e9)

**Please note that this is a work in progress.**

## Features

- Preview tables in real time
- Add and remove rows and columns
- Move rows and columns
- Move cells

## Usage

### Installation

Using [packer](https://github.com/wbthomason/packer.nvim):

```lua
use "Myzel394/easytables.nvim"
```

### Tutorial

#### Inserting a new table

Go to the place where you want to insert your table and either call:

* `:EasyTablesCreateNew x` - Creates a new table with `` columns and `` rows
* `:EasyTablesCreateNew ` - Creates a square table with the size of `` (eg. `:EasyTablesCreateNew 5` -> Creates a `5x5` table)
* `:EasyTablesCreateNew x` - Creates a table with `` columns and **one** row
* `:EasyTablesCreateNew x` - Creates a table with **one** column and `` rows

#### Editing an existing table

Go to your table (doesn't matter where, can be at a border or inside a cell) and type:

`:EasyTablesImportThisTable`

### Custom Setup

**Make sure to call the `setup` function!**

`after/plugin/easytables.lua`

```lua
require("easytables").setup {
-- Your configuration comes here
}
```

#### Default configuration

By default, easytables configures default characters for the table and registers the following keymaps:

- ``: Move cell left (in normal mode, applies to all other directions)
- ``: Swaps cell with cell to the left (in normal mode, applies to all other directions)
- ``: Swaps column with column to the left (in normal mode, applies to all other directions)
- `: Move cell to the next cell (in normal mode, either to the right or to the beginning of the next line)
- ``: Move cell to the previous cell (in normal mode, either to the left or to the end of the previous line)

This is the default configuration:

```lua
{
table = {
-- Whether to enable the header by default
header_enabled_by_default = true,
window = {
preview_title = "Table Preview",
prompt_title = "Cell content",
-- Either "auto" to automatically size the window, or a string
-- in the format of "x" (e.g. "20x10")
size = "auto"
},
cell = {
-- Min width of a cell (excluding padding)
min_width = 3,
-- Filler character for empty cells
filler = " ",
align = "left",
},
-- Characters used to draw the table
-- Do not worry about multibyte characters, they are handled correctly
border = {
top_left = "┌",
top_right = "┐",
bottom_left = "└",
bottom_right = "┘",
horizontal = "─",
vertical = "│",
left_t = "├",
right_t = "┤",
top_t = "┬",
bottom_t = "┴",
cross = "┼",
header_left_t = "╞",
header_right_t = "╡",
header_bottom_t = "╧",
header_cross = "╪",
header_horizontal = "═",
}
},
export = {
markdown = {
-- Padding around the cell content, applied BOTH left AND right
-- E.g: padding = 1, content = "foo" -> " foo "
padding = 1,
-- What markdown characters are used for the export, you probably
-- don't want to change these
characters = {
horizontal = "-",
vertical = "|",
-- Filler for padding
filler = " "
}
}
},
set_mappings = function(buf)
vim.api.nvim_buf_set_keymap(
buf,
"n",
"",
":JumpLeft",
{}
)
vim.api.nvim_buf_set_keymap(
buf,
"n",

{}
)

"n",
"",
":JumpToNextCell",
{}
)
vim.api.nvim_buf_set_keymap(
buf,
"n",
"",
":JumpToPreviousCell",
{}
)

vim.api.nvim_buf_set_keymap(
buf,
"n",
"",
":SwapWithLeftColumn",
{}
)
vim.api.nvim_buf_set_keymap(
buf,
"n",
"",
":SwapWithRightColumn",
{}
)
vim.api.nvim_buf_set_keymap(
buf,
"n",
"",
":SwapWithUpperRow",
{}
)
vim.api.nvim_buf_set_keymap(
buf,
"n",
"",
":SwapWithLowerRow",
{}
)
end

}
```

## Limitations

* This plugin currently does not work well with big tables

## This project is stupid, the code is awful, go away

I know that the code is probably not the best, it's my first ever written neovim plugin.
You are more than welcome to contribute to this project, I will gladly accept any help.

## Donate

It might sound crazy, but if you would just donate 1$, it would totally mean to world to me, since
it's a really small amount and if everyone did that, I can totally focus on easytables and my other open
source projects. :)
