Composer Installation

composer require phplucidframe/console-table

Example 1: Bordered Table (Default)

require 'src/LucidFrame/Console/ConsoleTable.php';

$table = new LucidFrame\Console\ConsoleTable();
$table
    ->addHeader('Language')
    ->addHeader('Year')
    ->addRow()
        ->addColumn('PHP')
        ->addColumn(1994)
    ->addRow()
        ->addColumn('C++')
        ->addColumn(1983)
    ->addRow()
        ->addColumn('C')
        ->addColumn(1970)
    ->display()
;

You can also print the table using getTable method such as echo $table->getTable();

Output:

+----------+------+
| Language | Year |
+----------+------+
| PHP      | 1994 |
| C++      | 1983 |
| C        | 1970 |
+----------+------+

Example 2: Bordered Table with Padding Width 2

You can also use setHeaders() and addRow with Arrays.

require 'src/LucidFrame/Console/ConsoleTable.php';

$table = new LucidFrame\Console\ConsoleTable();
$table
    ->setHeaders(array('Language', 'Year'))
    ->addRow(array('PHP', 1994))
    ->addRow(array('C++', 1983))
    ->addRow(array('C', 1970))
    ->setPadding(2)
    ->display()
;

Output:

+------------+--------+
|  Language  |  Year  |
+------------+--------+
|  PHP       |  1994  |
|  C++       |  1983  |
|  C         |  1970  |
+------------+--------+

Example 3: Bordered Table with Left Margin Width 4

require 'src/LucidFrame/Console/ConsoleTable.php';

$table = new LucidFrame\Console\ConsoleTable();
$table
    ->setHeaders(array('Language', 'Year'))
    ->addRow(array('PHP', 1994))
    ->addRow(array('C++', 1983))
    ->addRow(array('C', 1970))
    ->setIndent(4)
    ->display()
;

Output:

    +----------+------+
    | Language | Year |
    +----------+------+
    | PHP      | 1994 |
    | C++      | 1983 |
    | C        | 1970 |
    +----------+------+

Example 4: Non-bordered Table with Header

require 'src/LucidFrame/Console/ConsoleTable.php';

$table = new LucidFrame\Console\ConsoleTable();
$table
    ->setHeaders(array('Language', 'Year'))
    ->addRow(array('PHP', 1994))
    ->addRow(array('C++', 1983))
    ->addRow(array('C', 1970))
    ->hideBorder()
    ->display()
;

Output:

 Language  Year
----------------
 PHP       1994
 C++       1983
 C         1970

Example 5: Non-bordered Table without Header

require 'src/LucidFrame/Console/ConsoleTable.php';

$table = new LucidFrame\Console\ConsoleTable();
$table
    ->addRow(array('PHP', 1994))
    ->addRow(array('C++', 1983))
    ->addRow(array('C', 1970))
    ->hideBorder()
    ->display()
;

Output:

 PHP  1994
 C++  1983
 C    1970

Example 6: Table with all borders

require 'src/LucidFrame/Console/ConsoleTable.php';

$table = new LucidFrame\Console\ConsoleTable();
$table
    ->setHeaders(array('Language', 'Year'))
    ->addRow(array('PHP', 1994))
    ->addRow(array('C++', 1983))
    ->addRow(array('C', 1970))
    ->showAllBorders()
    ->display()
;

Alternatively, you can use addBorderLine() for each row.

$table
    ->setHeaders(array('Language', 'Year'))
    ->addRow(array('PHP', 1994))
    ->addBorderLine()
    ->addRow(array('C++', 1983))
    ->addBorderLine()
    ->addRow(array('C', 1970))
    ->display()
;

Output

+----------+------+
| Language | Year |
+----------+------+
| PHP      | 1994 |
+----------+------+
| C++      | 1983 |
+----------+------+
| C        | 1970 |
+----------+------+
