Features

• Supports left aligned, right aligned and centered columns.
• Generates LaTeX sources for a scientific table: If the first row is rule, it is converted to a \toprule. If the last row is a rule it is converted to a \bottomrule. Every other rule is converted to a \midrule.
• Supports a special table field for values ​​with currency specifications in Euros.
• Returns an error if the LaTeX parser won't compile the LaTeX source,
• Returns warnings if the number of columns differs from the number of fields in a data row.
• And last but not least: Columns are nicely aligned :)

If you need any feature please contact me.

Usage

The following Dart record structure

import 'package:latex_table/latex_table.dart';

var table = Table(
    columnDefinitions: [LeftAlignedColumn(), LeftAlignedColumn()],
    rows: [
      Rule(),
      DataRow(fields: [Field(value: 'Item'), Field(value: 'Costs')]),
      Rule(),
      DataRow(fields: [Field(value: 'Food'), EuroField(value: '150.98')]),
      DataRow(fields: [Field(value: 'Rent'), EuroField(value: '1223.23')]),
      Rule(),
    ],
  );

parse(table) returns the LaTeX source code wrapped in a Success object if the input is valid. It can be unwrapped by getting its value.

Result result = parseTable(table);
if (result is Success) {
  print(result.value);
}

This prints the following LaTeX source code:

\begin{tabular}{ll}
  \toprule
  Item & Costs         \\
  \midrule
  Food & \EUR{150.98}  \\
  Rent & \EUR{1223.23} \\
  \bottomrule
\end{tabular}
