## Wiki
Tabiew started as a humble hobby TUI project for viewing CSV data but has evolved to incorporate various features and improvements from valuable community feedbacks. As the project expanded, so did the need for comprehensive documentation, leading to the creation of the [wiki page](https://github.com/shshemi/tabiew/wiki). The wiki offers explanations of features and the best practices to get the most out of Tabiew.
## Installation
There are various ways to install Tabiew:
### Arch Linux
You can install from the [official repositories](https://archlinux.org/packages/extra/x86_64/tabiew/) using [pacman](https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/pacman):
```bash
pacman -S tabiew
```
### Debian-based
Download the `.deb` package from the [GitHub releases page](https://github.com/shshemi/tabiew/releases) and run:
```bash
sudo dpkg -i
```
### RPM-based
Download the `.rpm` package from the [GitHub releases page](https://github.com/shshemi/tabiew/releases) and run:
```bash
sudo rpm -i
```
### MacOS
Installing Tabiew using [Homebrew](https://brew.sh/) from Homebrew core:
```bash
brew update
brew install tabiew
```
or tap:
```bash
brew install shshemi/tabiew/tabiew
```
Note: Please be aware that installing Tabiew from the tap involves compiling it from the source, which may take some time to complete.
### Cargo
Installing Tabiew from *Crates.io*:
```bash
cargo install --locked tabiew
```
### Build from Source
Ensure you have rustc version 1.80 (or higher) installed. Download the desired source version from the [release page](https://github.com/shshemi/tabiew/releases). Extract the downloaded file and navigate into the extracted directory. Then run the following command:
```bash
cargo build --release
cp ./target/release/tw
```
## Usage
Start Tabiew with `tw`
```bash
tw
```
Tabiew automatically detects the file format based on the file extension. Supported formats include:
- **CSV** (`.csv`) - Comma-separated values
- **TSV** (`.tsv`) - Tab-separated values
- **Parquet** (`.parquet`, `.pqt`)
- **JSON** (`.json`)
- **JSONL** (`.jsonl`) - JSON Lines
- **Arrow** (`.arrow`)
- **FWF** (`.fwf`) - Fixed-width format
- **SQLite** (`.db`, `.sqlite`)
- **Excel** (`.xls`, `.xlsx`, `.xlsm`, `.xlsb`)
Examples:
Open various files (format automatically detected):
```bash
tw data.csv data.tsv data.arrow
```
Open CSV files with custom delimiter (pipe-separated):
```bash
tw data.csv --separator '|'
```
Open CSV files with custom delimiter and no header row (semicolon-separated):
```bash
tw data.csv --separator ';' --no-header
```
Override format detection:
```bash
tw data.txt -f parquet
```
Delimiter-separated formats (CSV, TSV, etc):
```bash
# Explicitly use CSV format (comma by default, but can use custom delimiter)
tw data.txt -f csv
tw data.txt -f csv --separator '|'
# Explicitly use TSV format (always tab-delimited)
tw data.txt -f tsv
# Use DSV with custom delimiter (equivalent to csv with --separator)
tw data.txt -f dsv --separator '|'
```
Open a URL using curl:
```bash
curl -s "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/wiki/shshemi/tabiew/housing.csv" | tw
```
