# tabled
An easy to use library for pretty printing tables of Rust `struct`s and `enum`s.
There are more examples and you can find in this [`README`](https://github.com/zhiburt/tabled/blob/master/README.md).
## Usage
To print a list of structs or enums as a table your types should implement the the `Tabled` trait or derive it with a `#[derive(Tabled)]` macro.
Most of the default types implement the trait out of the box.
Most of a table configuration can be found in [`tabled::settings`](https://docs.rs/tabled/latest/tabled/settings/index.html) module.
```rust
use tabled::{Table, Tabled};
#[derive(Tabled)]
struct Language {
name: String,
designed_by: String,
invented_year: usize,
}
impl Language {
fn new(name: &str, designed_by: &str, invented_year: usize) -> Self {
Self {
name: name.to_string(),
designed_by: designed_by.to_string(),
invented_year,
}
}
}
let languages = vec![
Language::new("C", "Dennis Ritchie", 1972),
Language::new("Go", "Rob Pike", 2009),
Language::new("Rust", "Graydon Hoare", 2010),
Language::new("Hare", "Drew DeVault", 2022),
];
let table = Table::new(languages).to_string();
assert_eq!(
table,
"+------+----------------+---------------+\n\
| name | designed_by | invented_year |\n\
+------+----------------+---------------+\n\
| C | Dennis Ritchie | 1972 |\n\
+------+----------------+---------------+\n\
| Go | Rob Pike | 2009 |\n\
+------+----------------+---------------+\n\
| Rust | Graydon Hoare | 2010 |\n\
+------+----------------+---------------+\n\
| Hare | Drew DeVault | 2022 |\n\
+------+----------------+---------------+"
);
```
The same example but we are building a table step by step.
```rust
use tabled::{builder::Builder, settings::Style};
let mut builder = Builder::new();
builder.push_record(["C", "Dennis Ritchie", "1972"]);
builder.push_record(["Go", "Rob Pike", "2009"]);
builder.push_record(["Rust", "Graydon Hoare", "2010"]);
builder.push_record(["Hare", "Drew DeVault", "2022"]);
let table = builder.build()
.with(Style::ascii_rounded())
.to_string();
assert_eq!(
table,
concat!(
".------------------------------.\n",
"| C | Dennis Ritchie | 1972 |\n",
"| Go | Rob Pike | 2009 |\n",
"| Rust | Graydon Hoare | 2010 |\n",
"| Hare | Drew DeVault | 2022 |\n",
"'------------------------------'"
)
);
```
