Console Table For Java (ct4j)

The Java Console Table (ct4j) is a Java library that helps to create adaptive tables inside the console or terminal. This module is designed to create and customize tables for the console in the easiest way possible.

Features

• Create a table for the console.
• Set the headers of the table.
• Add data/rows to the table.
• Customize the table by setting horizontal separator, vertical separator, and corner joint.
• Set table headers to uppercase.

Installation

You can use this module by cloning it and specifying the package ConsoleTable;

git clone https://github.com/Cozmeh/ConsoleTable4java.git

clone it in your desired folder using the above command in terminal(cmd)

Alternatively, you can download the JcTable.jar file from the Releases(latest) and add it to your project's classpath.

Usage

To use the this module, you need to import the ct4j class into your project after adding the jcTable.jar to your project's classpath. Then, create an object of the ct4j class and use its methods to set up the table and add data to it.

Here's an example usage of the ct4j module:

import ConsoleTable.ct4j;

public class Example {

    public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
        
        ct4j table = new ct4j();
        
        // Set table headers
        table.setHeader("Name", "Age", "City");
        
        // Add data/rows to the table
        table.addRow("Krishna", "24", "Dwaraka");
        table.addRow("Arjuna", "21", "Hastinapur");
        
        // Customize the table
        table.setHorizontalSeparator('-');
        table.setVerticalSeparator('|');
        table.setCornerJoint('+');
        table.setUppercaseHeaders(true);
        
        // Print the table
        table.printTable();
        
    }
}

Output

+---------+-----+------------+
| NAME    | AGE | CITY       |
+---------+-----+------------+
| Krishna | 24  | Dwaraka    |
| Arjuna  | 21  | Hastinapur |
+---------+-----+------------+

This code will create a table with three columns: Name, Age, and City. It will then add two rows of data to the table and print the table to the console.

Customization

You can customize the appearance of the table by using the following methods:

• setHorizontalSeparator(char HorizontalSeparator)
  • Set the horizontal separator for the table (default is -).
• setVerticalSeparator(char VerticalSeparator)
  • Set the vertical separator for the table (default is |).
• setCornerJoint(char CornerJoint)
  • Set the corner joint for the table (default is +).
• setUppercaseHeaders(Boolean uppercaseHeader)
  • Set the headers of the table to uppercase (default is false).
