This package support python version >=3.10
In the following examples shows you how you can use
from tabulato import colorful_tabulate, TableRowStyle
headers = ["Name", "Student Number", "DOB", "Email Address"]
data = [
["John Doe", "S12345", "1995-07-15", "[email protected]"],
["Alice Smith", "S67890", "1998-03-22", "[email protected]"],
["Bob Johnson", "S54321", "1997-11-10", "[email protected]"],
["Emma Brown", "S98765", "1996-09-18", "[email protected]"],
["Michael Lee", "S24680", "1999-05-30", "[email protected]"],
["Sophia Wang", "S13579", "1994-12-05", "[email protected]"],
["David Chen", "S75310", "1992-04-08", "[email protected]"],
["Olivia Kim", "S36924", "1993-10-25", "[email protected]"],
]
colorful_tabulate(
data=data,
column_widths=[20, 20, 20, 30],
)
The above function will result in the following table being created in the terminal.
+----------------------+----------------------+----------------------+--------------------------------+
| name | student number | dob | email |
+----------------------+----------------------+----------------------+--------------------------------+
| John Doe | S12345 | 1995-07-15 | [email protected] |
| Alice Smith | S67890 | 1998-03-22 | [email protected] |
| Bob Johnson | S54321 | 1997-11-10 | [email protected] |
| Emma Brown | S98765 | 1996-09-18 | [email protected] |
| Michael Lee | S24680 | 1999-05-30 | [email protected] |
| Sophia Wang | S13579 | 1994-12-05 | [email protected] |
| David Chen | S75310 | 1992-04-08 | [email protected] |
| Olivia Kim | S36924 | 1993-10-25 | [email protected] |
+----------------------+----------------------+----------------------+--------------------------------+
The colorful table will look as follows:
However you can style the rows of the table using the TableRowStyle
class by specifying the options as follows:
colorful_tabulate(
data=data,
column_widths=[20, 20, 20, 30],
header_style=TableRowStyle(
bold=True,
italic=False,
color="BLUE",
background="BG_BLUE",
),
even_row_style=TableRowStyle(
bold=False,
italic=False,
color="GREEN",
underline=True,
),
odd_row_style=TableRowStyle(
bold=False,
italic=False,
color="YELLOW",
strikethrough=True,
),
)
The table data can also be a list of python dictionaries. Here is an example of using a list of python dictionaries to generate a table.
data = [
{
"name": "John Doe",
"student number": "S12345",
"dob": "1995-07-15",
"email": "[email protected]",
},
{
"name": "Alice Smith",
"student number": "S67890",
"dob": "1998-03-22",
"email": "[email protected]",
},
{
"name": "Bob Johnson",
"student number": "S54321",
"dob": "1997-11-10",
"email": "[email protected]",
