import { table, tableKeys } from "@thi.ng/markdown-table";
table(
["ID", "Actor", "Comment"],
[
[1, "Alice"],
[201, "Bob", "(foe)"],
[3003, "Charlie", null],
[44, "Dora", "(recipient)"],
],
{ align: ["r", "c", "l"] }
);
// | **ID** | **Actor** | **Comment** |
// |-------:|:---------:|:------------|
// | 1 | Alice | |
// | 201 | Bob | (foe) |
// | 3003 | Charlie | |
// | 44 | Dora | (recipient) |
// ...alternatively, this produces the same:
tableKeys(
// column headers
["ID", "Actor", "Comment"],
// lookup keys
["id", "name", "hint"],
// rows as objects
[
{ id: 1, name: "Alice" },
{ id: 201, name: "Bob", hint: "(foe)" },
{ id: 3003, name: "Charlie" },
{ id: 44, name: "Dora", hint: "(recipient)" },
],
// table options
{ bold: true, align: ["r", "c", "l"] }
)Result as Markdown:
| ID | Actor | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Alice | |
| 201 | Bob | (foe) |
| 3003 | Charlie | |
| 44 | Dora | (recipient) |
