RTables (Ruby Tables) is a small library that helps you generate table output in various predefined formats.
To install RTables, you can either git clone the GitHub repository, or simply run gem install rtables
require 'rtables'
# Initialize the table you wish to use.
table = RTables::Table::PlainTable.new
# Add the table headers to the table. This will structure our table.
table.add_column('Example')
table.add_column('Second Column')
# Start adding rows to the table.
# For each column you have added, you need to pass another parameter.
table.add_row('Hello', 'World!')
table.add_row('Another day', 'Another row!')
table.add_row('It\'s a beautiful day to be a table', 'Indeed.')
# The final step, we either .render or .to_s our table.
# .render returns a line-separated array,
# .to_s calls render.join("\n").
puts table.to_sTables are nice, but each table has their positive and negative things.
The documentation explains the cons and pros of each table.
