How to apply text alignment to all header columns?

[hellt]

I love my table header row to have center-aligned text, like this

╭───┬──────┬──────────────┬──────────────────────────────┬───────────────┬─────────┬────────────────┬──────────────────────╮
│ # │ Name │ Container ID │             Image            │      Kind     │  State  │  IPv4 Address  │     IPv6 Address     │
├───┼──────┼──────────────┼──────────────────────────────┼───────────────┼─────────┼────────────────┼──────────────────────┤
│ 1 │ srl  │ 7faefde8ee2e │ ghcr.io/nokia/srlinux:latest │ nokia_srlinux │ running │ 172.20.20.2/24 │ 3fff:172:20:20::2/64 │
╰───┴──────┴──────────────┴──────────────────────────────┴───────────────┴─────────┴────────────────┴──────────────────────╯

The problem is, that it seems setting the text alignment of the header columns is only possible with

table.SetColumnConfigs()

which needs to know either the column names, or indexes. I compile the table dynamically, so I might now know the names of the rows ahead of time.

At the same time, it seems there is no table.AddColumnConfigs() that would not overwrite the slice of column configs. How could I dynamically add the column config iterating over the slice of table.Row?

Is the list of columns dynamic or the number of columns fixed?

Hey @hellt ... with the linked PR that has been merged, you should be able to set up the default alignment you want on the rows/headers/footers. Sample usage is in the description of the PR. Note that Column-configs will override these values.

Use the "main" branch code and let me know if this works, and I'll cut a tag for you.
