TypeError: table is not a function

[vvebvvizard]

Hi,

I tried to use table with Gulp in our starter kit. I had to use require() to import it because I can't install babel

But when I try to use table with your exemple, it return me this error.

data = [
    ['0A', '0B', '0C'],
    ['1A', '1B', '1C'],
    ['2A', '2B', '2C']
];

options = {
    column: {
        0: {
            alignment: 'left',
            minWidth: 10
        },
        1: {
            alignment: 'center',
            minWidth: 10
        },
        2: {
            alignment: 'right',
            minWidth: 10
        }
    }
};

output = table(data, options);

Is there a way to use table without ES6?

Thanks for your help!

It seems to work with this path in the require var table = require("table/dist/table");

...but why?

You should't have the issue describe above in the current version.

Have you pulled the latest npm package?

What error are you getting when importing table?

Using var table = require("table/dist/table"); works as expected, however.

I'm using node v5.9.0.

@Nepoxx fixed v4.0.1 that fixes this issue. See https://github.com/gajus/table/tree/v4.0.1#usage

Use:

const {table} = require('table');

[Nepoxx]

Thanks! (I use const table = require('table').table since object destructuring is a harmony feature and it is not enabled in node by default)

Forgive my ignorance, but where would import {table} from 'table'; be valid?
