This library is for drawing text tables.

Pass a 2D-list of strings and get a single string with table contents.

Documentation

makeSimpleTable :: SimpleTableConfig -> [[String]] -> String

Example usage:

putStrLn $ makeSimpleTable simpleTableConfig {
  tableBorders = "+++++++++-|",
  colMinWidths  = [3, 4],
  rowMinHeights = [2],
  padFunction   = simpleTableLeftPad,
  cellPadFunction = simpleTableBottomPad,
  horizontalPadding = 0,
  verticalPadding = 1,
  paddingStr = ".,`"
} [["a"], ["b", "c"]]

makeDefaultSimpleTable :: [[String]] -> String

Create table using simpleTableConfig. Example usage:

putStrLn $ makeDefaultSimpleTable [["1","2","3"], ["One","Two","Three"], ["First", "Second"]]

data SimpleTableConfig

Data type that represents table configuration.

Fields

• tableBorders :: String

  String containing table border characters, in order like this: "┌┬┐├┼┤└┴┘─│". Must be exactly 11 characters long, otherwise error will be thrown.

• colMinWidths :: [Int]

  Minimum widths for each column, from left to right. Padding size is not counted. List's length may not match the actual count of columns in a table.

• rowMinHeights :: [Int]

  Minimum heights for each row, from top to bottom. Padding size is not counted. List's length may not match the actual count of rows in a table.

• padFunction :: String -> Int -> String -> String
• cellPadFunction :: String -> Int -> [String] -> [String]
• horizontalPadding :: Int

  Width of left and right margins.

• verticalPadding :: Int

  Height of top and bottom margins.

• paddingStr :: String

  String used as padding. " " (space) by default.

• emptyCellStr :: String

  String used to fill in empty cells. "" by default. Empty cells will be padded with paddingStr after placing emptyCellStr into each them.

simpleTableConfig :: SimpleTableConfig

Default table config.

simpleTableLeftPad :: String -> Int -> String -> String

Horizontal padding function. Appends padding string (first argument) to the left of the given string to make it's length equal to the second argument.

simpleTableCenterPad :: String -> Int -> String -> String

Horizontal padding function. Appends padding string (first argument) both to the right and left of the given string to make it's length equal to the second argument.

simpleTableRightPad :: String -> Int -> String -> String

Horizontal padding function. Appends padding string (first argument) to the right of the given string to make it's length equal to the second argument.

simpleTableBottomPad :: String -> Int -> Cell -> [String]

Vertical padding function. Appends padding to the bottom of given Cell

simpleTableMiddlePad :: String -> Int -> Cell -> [String]

Vertical padding function. Appends padding both to top and bottom of given Cell

simpleTableTopPad :: String -> Int -> Cell -> [String]

Vertical padding function. Appends padding to the top of given Cell
