node-tableify

-------------

From any JavaScript object, HTML tables create.

description

-----------

Given any Javascript object including Object, Array, Number, Date, null, undefined, primitives,

etc, `tableify` generates HTML tables that represent each object. In the case of Arrays containing

Objects (hash tables), it will generate a table with a header row containing the key names of the

object found in the first element of the array.

Every value to be output to the table is processed through `tableify` recursively so objects containing

other objects will result in tables within tables.

For each `td` cell that is created, a class is generated based on the `constructor.name` of the value, or

`null` if the value is null.

install

-------

```bash

npm install tableify

```

usage

-----

```javascript

var tableify = require('tableify');

var html = tableify({

	someArrayOfObjects : [

		{ a : 1, b : 2, c : 3  }

		, { a : 2, b : 3, c : 4 }

		, { a : 3, b : 4, c : 5 }

	]

	, someObject : {

		key1 : 'value1'

		, someArray : [

			'value2'

			, 'value3'

			, 'value4'

			, 'value5'

		]

		, someArrayOfObjects : [

			{ key2 : 123 }

			, { key2 : 234 }

			, { key2 : 345 }

		]

	}

});

console.log(html);

```

command line usage

------------------

When installed with `npm install -g tableify` you get the tablify command line utility. 

This is a simple command which accepts JSON from stdin and outputs html to stdout. I use

it for emailing json files in a nice format for debugging purposes.

The --style option prepends a <style> tag with some default css

```bash

cat datafile.json | tableify --style | mutt -e 'set content_type="text/html"' [email protected]

```
