renderTable

Renders a grid of strings as a framed monospace table for Discord output.

Column widths use display width, so emoji, astral, and CJK cells stay aligned. The first row is a header by default with a separator beneath it. Ragged rows are padded to the widest row.

Pass budget to get one string per page instead of a single string, splitting the body across a character limit and re-emitting the header on each page.

renderTable(
    data: readonly (readonly string[])[],
    options: PagedTableOptions
): string[]

renderTable([
    ['Name', 'Age'],
    ['Alice', '30'],
    ['Bob', '25']
]);
// ╭───────┬─────╮
// │ Name  │ Age │
// ├───────┼─────┤
// │ Alice │ 30  │
// ├───────┼─────┤
// │ Bob   │ 25  │
// ╰───────┴─────╯

budget returns one page per chunk, each within the limit, with the header repeated.


const pages = renderTable(
    [['ID', 'Value'], ['0', 'xxxxx'], ['1', 'xxxxx'], ['2', 'xxxxx'], ['3', 'xxxxx']],
    { budget: 120 }
);
// pages.length is 2, and pages[0] renders as
// ╭────┬───────╮
// │ ID │ Value │
// ├────┼───────┤
// │ 0  │ xxxxx │
// ├────┼───────┤
// │ 1  │ xxxxx │
// ╰────┴───────╯
