markdownTable

A Go package to generate Markdown tables from header and body data. This package automatically adjusts column widths based on the longest entry in each column, ensuring that the table is aligned and visually clear when rendered in Markdown.

Features

• Converts a given header and body data into a well-formatted Markdown table.
• Automatically adjusts column widths based on the longest entry (including headers).
• Truncates rows with fewer columns than the header to maintain consistency.
• Provides a clean and simple way to create Markdown tables programmatically in Go.

Installation

To install the markdownTable package, use the following Go command:

go get github.com/shiv-source/markdownTable

Example Usage

Here’s an example of how to use the CreateMarkdownTable function:

package main

import (
	"fmt"
	"github.com/shiv-source/markdownTable"
)

func main() {
	head := []string{"ID", "Name", "Age"}
	body := [][]string{
		{"1", "John", "26"},
		{"2", "Bob", "25"},
		{"3", "Alice", "27"},
	}

	// Create the Markdown table
	markdownTable := markdownTable.CreateMarkdownTable(head, body)

	// Print the Markdown table
	fmt.Println(markdownTable)
}

Expected Output:

| ID  | Name         | Age |
|-----|--------------|-----|
| 1   | John         | 26  |
| 2   | Bob          | 25  |
| 3   | Alice        | 27  |
