Prints an ASCII table to the console based on incoming JSON. Input will be marshalled to be tabular if needed. JSON data can be passed in the first param or piped into the command: {code:bash} printTable [1,2,3] package show | printTable cat myfile.json | printTable {code} The following types of data are supported, passed as JSON. If the object is a struct, a table with a single row will be printed, using the struct keys as the column names. {code:bash} printTable {'a':2,'b':4} ╔═══╤═══╗ ║ a │ b ║ ╠═══╪═══╣ ║ 2 │ 4 ║ ╚═══╧═══╝ {code} If an array is passed, each item in the array will become a row in the table. {code:bash} printTable data=[1,2,3] headerNames=num ╔═════╗ ║ num ║ ╠═════╣ ║ 1 ║ ╟─────╢ ║ 2 ║ ╟─────╢ ║ 3 ║ ╚═════╝ {code} Represent tabular data as an array of arrays or an arary of structs. The number of columns will be based on the first row's data. For array and simple values, the column names will default to: col_1, col_2, etc. For arrays of structs, the struct keys in the first row will be used {code:bash} . printTable [{a:1,b:2},{a:3,b:4},{a:5,b:6}] ╔═══╤═══╗ ║ a │ b ║ ╠═══╪═══╣ ║ 1 │ 2 ║ ╟───┼───╢ ║ 3 │ 4 ║ ╟───┼───╢ ║ 5 │ 6 ║ ╚═══╧═══╝ . printTable [[1,2],[3,4],[5,6]] ╔═══════╤═══════╗ ║ col_1 │ col_2 ║ ╠═══════╪═══════╣ ║ 1 │ 2 ║ ╟───────┼───────╢ ║ 3 │ 4 ║ ╟───────┼───────╢ ║ 5 │ 6 ║ ╚═══════╧═══════╝ {code} For array of structs or serialized queries, if a list of columns is given that will be all that is displayed {code:bash} #extensionlist | printTable name,version ╔══════════════════════╤═══════════════════╗ ║ name │ version ║ ╠══════════════════════╪═══════════════════╣ ║ MySQL │ 8.0.19 ║ ╟──────────────────────┼───────────────────╢ ║ Microsoft SQL Server │ 4.0.2206.100 ║ ╟──────────────────────┼───────────────────╢ ║ Ajax Extension │ 1.0.0.3 ║ ╚══════════════════════╧═══════════════════╝ {code} . The "headerNames" argument allows you to overwrite auto created column names specifically for array of arrays {code:bash} printTable data=[[1,2],[3,4],[5,6]] headerNames=name,version ╔════════╤═══════════╗ ║ name │ version ║ ╠════════╪═══════════╣ ║ 1 │ 2 ║ ╟────────┼───────────╢ ║ 3 │ 4 ║ ╟────────┼───────────╢ ║ 5 │ 6 ║ ╚════════╧═══════════╝ {code} . The "columnsOnly" parameter will give you a list of available columns and the first row of data to help you choose the columns you want {code:bash} printTable "[{'a':2},{'a':4},{'a':5},{'a':8}]" --debug ╔════════╤════════════════╗ ║ Column │ First Row Data ║ ╠════════╪════════════════╣ ║ a │ 2 ║ ╚════════╧════════════════╝ {code}
