| 1 | +# Console Table For Java (ct4j) |
| 2 | +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. |
| 3 | + |
| 4 | +## Features |
| 5 | +- Create a table for the console. |
| 6 | +- Set the headers of the table. |
| 7 | +- Add data/rows to the table. |
| 8 | +- Customize the table by setting horizontal separator, vertical separator, and corner joint. |
| 9 | +- Set table headers to uppercase. |
| 10 | + |
| 11 | +## Installation |
| 12 | +You can use this module by cloning it and specifying the `package ConsoleTable;` |
| 13 | +``` |
| 14 | +git clone https://github.com/Cozmeh/ConsoleTable4java.git |
| 15 | +``` |
| 16 | +> clone it in your desired folder using the above command in terminal(cmd) |
| 17 | +
|
| 18 | +Alternatively, you can download the `jcTable.jar` file from the `Releases` and add it to your project's classpath. |
| 19 | + |
| 20 | +## Usage |
| 21 | +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. |
| 22 | + |
| 23 | +Here's an example usage of the ct4j module: |
| 24 | +``` |
| 25 | +import ConsoleTable.ct4j; |
| 26 | +
|
| 27 | +public class Example { |
| 28 | +
|
| 29 | + public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception { |
| 30 | + |
| 31 | + ct4j table = new ct4j(); |
| 32 | + |
| 33 | + // Set table headers |
| 34 | + table.setHeader("Name", "Age", "City"); |
| 35 | + |
| 36 | + // Add data/rows to the table |
| 37 | + table.addRow("Krishna", "24", "Dwaraka"); |
| 38 | + table.addRow("Arjuna", "21", "Hastinapur"); |
| 39 | + |
| 40 | + // Customize the table |
| 41 | + table.setHorizontalSeparator('-'); |
| 42 | + table.setVerticalSeparator('|'); |
| 43 | + table.setCornerJoint('+'); |
| 44 | + table.setUppercaseHeaders(true); |
| 45 | + |
| 46 | + // Print the table |
| 47 | + table.printTable(); |
| 48 | + |
| 49 | + } |
| 50 | +} |
| 51 | +
|
| 52 | +``` |
| 53 | + |
| 54 | +> Output |
| 55 | +
|
| 56 | +``` |
| 57 | ++---------+-----+------------+ |
| 58 | +| NAME | AGE | CITY | |
| 59 | ++---------+-----+------------+ |
| 60 | +| Krishna | 24 | Dwaraka | |
| 61 | +| Arjuna | 21 | Hastinapur | |
| 62 | ++---------+-----+------------+ |
| 63 | +``` |
| 64 | +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. |
| 65 | + |
| 66 | +## Customization |
| 67 | +You can customize the appearance of the table by using the following methods: |
| 68 | + |
| 69 | +- `setHorizontalSeparator(char HorizontalSeparator)` |
| 70 | + - Set the horizontal separator for the table (default is -). |
| 71 | +- `setVerticalSeparator(char VerticalSeparator)` |
| 72 | + - Set the vertical separator for the table (default is |). |
| 73 | +- `setCornerJoint(char CornerJoint)` |
| 74 | + - Set the corner joint for the table (default is +). |
| 75 | +- `setUppercaseHeaders(Boolean uppercaseHeader)` |
| 76 | + - Set the headers of the table to uppercase (default is false). |
