tj/terminal-table

This system is a Ruby library designed for generating ASCII and Unicode formatted tables within terminal environments. It provides a modular object model for constructing tables with features such as column alignment, multiline cell support, and customizable border styles. The library includes utilities for rendering complex layouts, including colspan handling and separator management, alongside example scripts for common use cases like CSV conversion.

This entry marks the initial commit and release of the Terminal Table gem (version 4.0.0). It introduces a Ruby library for generating ASCII and Unicode formatted tables in the terminal. The package includes core components for managing table structure (rows, cells, separators, styles) and provides a public API for creating tables with features like column alignment, multiline cell support, and custom border styles. The release also establishes the project's foundational documentation (README, History), licensing (MIT), and build/test infrastructure (Rake tasks, RSpec specs).

The examples directory now includes several new scripts that demonstrate specific capabilities of the terminal-table library. These include \show\_csv\_table.rb\ for converting CSV data into formatted tables, \strong\_separator.rb\ for creating tables with emphasized separators (such as footers), and \issue95.rb\ for applying custom colors and border styles. Additional examples (\issue100.rb\, \issue111.rb\, \issue118.rb\) showcase border customization options like Unicode, Markdown, and selective border removal, while \examples\_unicode.rb\ provides a comprehensive suite of Unicode rendering examples.

The project has removed the \docs\, \gemspec\, and \spec\ Rake tasks, eliminating the ability to build documentation, generate the gemspec file, or run specifications via these specific legacy commands. This change reflects a shift away from the older \spec/rake/spectask\ and manual doc-building workflows, likely as part of a broader modernization of the build and testing infrastructure.

tasks · high confidence

The library has been refactored from a single-file structure into a modular object model, introducing dedicated classes for Cell, Row, Separator, and Style to manage table rendering. This change updates the namespace from the global \TerminalTable\ class to the \Terminal::Table\ module, requiring users to adjust their require paths and class references. The update introduces a new \Style\ system that supports advanced Unicode border styles (including thick, heavy, and rounded variants) and allows for granular control over separators. Additionally, the \Cell\ class now handles alignment and colspan logic internally, and the \Separator\ class manages complex intersection logic for borders between rows with different column spans.

Added new specification files (cell\_spec.rb, import\_spec.rb, row\_spec.rb, style\_spec.rb, table\_spec.rb, unicode\_table\_spec.rb) to verify the behavior of Terminal::Table, including cell alignment, multiline content, colorization, column selection, colspan handling, separator rendering, and various border styles (markdown, ascii, unicode). Updated spec\_helper.rb to configure RSpec syntax and improved the String\#deindent helper. Removed the legacy terminal-table\_spec.rb file.

spec · high confidence

The project introduces its first Gemfile and gemspec, establishing the package structure for 'terminal-table'. This change defines runtime dependencies, specifically constraining 'unicode-display\_width' to versions \>= 1.1.1 and \< 4, and adds 'tins' (\~\> 1.0.0) to the Gemfile for Ruby 1.9 compatibility. Development dependencies for bundler (\~\> 2), rake (\~\> 13.0), rspec (\>= 3.0), and pry are also specified.
