Tabular #

Dart library for displaying tabular data in a visually appealing ASCII table format.

It converts a two-dimensional array of cells into a string with a text table.

Tabular is specifically designed to create tables in the Markdown format that GitHub understands.

The library is inspired by python's tabulate and pretty_table.


import 'package:tabular/tabular.dart';

var data = [
    ['Season', '#', 'Name', 'Days', 'Sun'],
    ['Winter', 1, 'January', 31, 94],
    ['Winter', 2, 'February', 28, 123],
    ['Spring', 3, 'March', 31, 42],
    ['Spring', 4, 'April', 30, 243],
    ['Spring', 5, 'May', 31, 5523],
    ['Summer', 6, 'June', 30, 11251],
    ['Summer', 7, 'July', 31, 17451],
    ['Summer', 8, 'August', 31, 18707],
    ['Autumn', 9, 'September', 30, 7025],
    ['Autumn', 10, 'October', 31, 5041],
    ['Autumn', 11, 'November', 30, 2302],
    ['Winter', 12, 'December', 31, 258],
];

var string = tabular(data);

print(string);

Add horizontal dividers #

tabular(data, rowDividers: [1, 3, 6, 9, 12])

-------|----|-----------|------|------
Winter |  1 | January   |   31 |    94
Winter |  2 | February  |   28 |   123
-------|----|-----------|------|------
Spring |  3 | March     |   31 |    42
Spring |  4 | April     |   30 |   243
Spring |  5 | May       |   31 |  5523
-------|----|-----------|------|------

Autumn | 11 | November  |   30 |  2302
-------|----|-----------|------|------
Winter | 12 | December  |   31 |   258

Please be aware that dividers can make the table not conform to the Markdown standard.

Add outer border #

tabular(data, border: Border.vertical);
| Season |  # | Name      | Days |   Sun |
|--------|----|-----------|------|-------|
| Winter |  1 | January   |   31 |    94 |
| Winter |  2 | February  |   28 |   123 |
| Spring |  3 | March     |   31 |    42 |
| Spring |  4 | April     |   30 |   243 |
| Spring |  5 | May       |   31 |  5523 |
| Summer |  6 | June      |   30 | 11251 |
| Summer |  7 | July      |   31 | 17451 |
| Summer |  8 | August    |   31 | 18707 |
| Autumn |  9 | September |   30 |  7025 |
| Autumn | 10 | October   |   31 |  5041 |
| Autumn | 11 | November  |   30 |  2302 |
| Winter | 12 | December  |   31 |   258 |

In the same way, you can add Border.horizontal or Border.all. But it can make the table not conform to the Markdown standard.
