Prevent truncating on specific cell

[jonathanasquier]

Hi, I'm using truncate: "..." and global parameter for my table and I'm trying to prevent truncation on a single cell. I Had no luck with truncate: false (default value) which sets the cell content to "false" (bug?)

Any idea?
Thanks!

up?

Thanks for catching that "truncate: false" bug. I'll check it out when I have a chance, or you can send me a pull request.

I haven't implemented truncation on a per cell basis, but again you could issue a pull request for it if you wanted.

I checked

truncate: false

And that works fine. Perhaps what you where doing was passing false as a string? Its meant to be a boolean when the value is false.

truncate: "false"

This would have indeed truncated lines with the word "false".

I've added support for truncation with no added character in 7c03d1b.

As of tty-table@4.1.0 you can set truncation on a cell-by-cell basis using the column formatter function. Here's an example:

formatter: function (cellValue, columnIndex, rowIndex) {
  if (rowIndex === 1) {
    this.configure({ truncate: false })
  }
  return cellValue
}

This example would turn off truncation and wrap the text in the second row of the column the formatter function is associated with.
