Have you ever been jealous of how pretty SQL consoles prints? Here gfxTables to help you!

Features

• Easy to work with

Getting started

1. 📡 Get a copy of srt.lua from the Official Repository or From Luarocks

2. 💾 Copy gfxTables.lua where you like to use it, or just on the root directory of the project

3. ⚙ Add it to your project like this:
   

   local gfxTables = require("path/to/gfx/Tables")

4. 📃 Create a new table object:

   local coolTable = gfxTables.newTable()

5. 🎮 Play with it's api to see how it works

   coolTable:setShowEnumerator(true)
   --Now in the left side will be a number indexing items
   --Starting from 1 jus like god intended
   coolTable:setDefaultEntryValue("empty")
   --When a cell has not been defined it will print "empty"
   coolTable:setPadding(2)
   --2 spaces between walls and text
   coolTable:insertColumns("First Name", "Last Name", "Email")
   --Now the table contains 3 columns use :inserttColumn() for finer
   --control on individual columns
   coolTable:insertEntry({"Alejandro", "Alzate", "[email protected]"})
   
   --Not joking just print it directly
   print(coolTable)

6. 💎 Look at that beauty and profit!

   	local gfxTables = require("gfxTables")
   	local coolTable = gfxTables.newTable()
   	coolTable:setShowEnumerator(true)
   	coolTable:setSeparateEntries(true)
   	coolTable:setDefaultEntryValue("empty")
   	coolTable:setPadding(2)
   	coolTable:insertColumns("First Name", "Last Name", "Email")
   	coolTable:insertEntry({"Alejandro", "Alzate", "[email protected]"})
   	print(coolTable)

   By running our script main.lua with those lines $ lua main.lua

   we get:

   ┏━━━━━┳━━━━━━━━━━━━━━┳━━━━━━━━━━━━━┳━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━┓
   ┃  #  ┃  First Name  ┃  Last Name  ┃  Email                        ┃
   ┡━━━━━╇━━━━━━━━━━━━━━╇━━━━━━━━━━━━━╇━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━┩
   |  1  |  Alejandro   |  Alzate     |  [email protected]  |
   └─────┴──────────────┴─────────────┴───────────────────────────────┘
