Drawing tables

[abduct]

I searched the documentation for a way to display organized data as columns and rows, aka a 'table' and I could not find any.

Is there any plans to add a dedicated table output similar to the functionality of: https://github.com/tj/terminal-table

It seems it would fall nicely in line with the rest of the framework since it will allow you to organize output in a nice way as well.

Thanks.

Edit: Is there also any plans to incorporating more colors for terminals that have 256 color support, or at least finish the high/low intensity profiles. I noticed you changed blue from 34 to 94, but I think having both forms of all colors would be benefiting if 256 color support is not able to be done.

Thank you so much for the issue but we don’t take feature requests on the issue tracker. We would, however, certainly be open to a PR implementing table functionality. As for colours, full 256 colour support is unlikely to be something we would implement, but if someone took that on and it were implemented in a way that meshed nicely with what we have, we'd be open to the idea.

I started experimenting with this in Shopify/cli-kit#42, but no concrete plans to merge or anything.

I kind of like the idea of doing something like {{0xff:asdf}} to select colour 255, I could imagine accepting a PR along those lines.
