NAME

Acme::CPANModules::TextTable - List of modules that generate text tables

VERSION

This document describes version 0.016 of Acme::CPANModules::TextTable (from Perl distribution Acme-CPANModules-TextTable), released on 2023-10-31.

SYNOPSIS

To run benchmark with default option:

 % bencher --cpanmodules-module TextTable

To run module startup overhead benchmark:

 % bencher --module-startup --cpanmodules-module TextTable

Text::Table::Any

Author: PERLANCAR

This is a frontend for many text table modules as backends. The interface is dead simple, following Text::Table::Tiny. The main drawback is that it currently does not allow passing (some, any) options to each backend.

Text::SimpleTable

Author: MRAMBERG

As its name implies, a simple table-generating module with minimal documentation and a few choices or border characters. You have to set the width of all columns manually.

Text::UnicodeBox::Table

Author: EWATERS

The main feature of this module is the various border style it provides drawn using Unicode box-drawing characters. It allows per-row style. The rendering speed is particularly slow compared to other modules.

Text::Table::Manifold

Author: RSAVAGE

Two main features of this module is per-column aligning and wide character support. This module, aside from doing its rendering, can also be told to pass rendering to HTML, CSV, or other text table module like Text::UnicodeBox::Table); so in this way it is similar to Text::Table::Any.

Text::ANSITable

Author: PERLANCAR

This 2013 project was my take in creating a text table module that can handle color, multiline text, wide characters. I also threw in various formatting options, e.g. per-column/row/cell align/valign/pad/vpad, conditional formatting, and so on. I even added a couple of features I never used: hiding rows and specifying columns to display which can be in different order from the original specified columns or can contain the same original columns multiple times. I think this module offers the most formatting options on CPAN.

In early 2021, I needed colspan/rowspan and I implemented this in a new module: Text::Table::Span (later renamed to Text::Table::More). I plan to add this feature too to Text::ANSITable, but in the meantime I'm also adding more formatting options which I need to Text::Table::More.

Text::ASCIITable

Author: LUNATIC

Text::FormatTable

Author: TREY

Text::MarkdownTable

Author: VOJ

Text::Table

Author: SHLOMIF

Text::Table::Tiny

Author: NEILB

The simple and tiny table-generating module which I liked back in 2012 (v0.03). It employs an sprintf() trick to generate a single row. This module started my personal experiments creating other table-generating modules (at last count I've created no fewer than 15 of them!).

Text::Table::TinyBorderStyle

Author: PERLANCAR

Text::Table::More

Author: PERLANCAR

A module I wrote in early 2021. Main distinguishing feature is support for rowspan/clospan. I plan to add more features to this module on an as-needed basic. This module is now preferred to Text::ANSITable, although currently it does not offer nearly as many formatting options as Text::ANSITable.

Text::Table::Sprintf

Author: PERLANCAR

A performant (see benchmark result) and lightweight (a page of code, no use of modules at all), but with minimal extra features.

Text::Table::TinyColor

Author: PERLANCAR

Text::Table::TinyColorWide

Author: PERLANCAR

Text::Table::TinyWide

Author: PERLANCAR

Text::Table::Org

Author: PERLANCAR

Text::Table::CSV

Text::Table::HTML

Notes:

1. align_cell: Whether module supports aligning text horizontally in individual cells (left/right/middle)
2. align_column: Whether module supports aligning text horizontally in a column (left/right/middle)
3. align_row: Whether module supports aligning text horizontally in a row (left/right/middle)
4. box_char: Whether module can utilize box-drawing characters
5. color_data: Whether module supports ANSI colors (i.e. text with ANSI color codes can still be aligned properly)
6. color_theme: Whether the module supports color theme/scheme
7. colspan: Whether module supports column spans
8. custom_border: Whether module allows customizing border in some way
9. custom_color: Whether the module produces colored table and supports customizing color in some way
10. multiline_data: Whether module supports aligning data cells that contain newlines
11. rowspan: Whether module supports row spans
12. speed: Rendering speed
13. valign_cell: Whether module supports aligning text vertically in individual cells (top/bottom/middle)
14. valign_column: Whether module supports aligning text vertically in a column (top/bottom/middle)
15. valign_row: Whether module supports aligning text vertically in a row (top/bottom/middle)
16. column_width: Whether module allows setting the width of columns
17. pad: Whether module allows customizing cell horizontal padding
18. per_column_width: Whether module allows setting column width on a per-column basis
19. per_row_height: Whether module allows setting row height on a per-row basis
20. row_height: Whether module allows setting the height of rows
21. vpad: Whether module allows customizing cell vertical padding
22. Depends on backend
23. Limited choice of 1 ASCII style and 1 UTF style
24. Slightly slower than Text::Table::Tiny
25. But this module can pass rendering to other module like Text::UnicodeBox::Table
26. Newlines stripped
27. Does not draw borders
28. The fastest among the others in this list
29. Irrelevant
30. But make sure your CSV parser can handle multiline cell
31. Not converted to HTML color elements

CONTRIBUTING

To contribute, you can send patches by email/via RT, or send pull requests on GitHub.

Most of the time, you don't need to build the distribution yourself. You can simply modify the code, then test via:

 % prove -l

If you want to build the distribution (e.g. to try to install it locally on your system), you can install Dist::Zilla, Dist::Zilla::PluginBundle::Author::PERLANCAR, Pod::Weaver::PluginBundle::Author::PERLANCAR, and sometimes one or two other Dist::Zilla- and/or Pod::Weaver plugins. Any additional steps required beyond that are considered a bug and can be reported to me.
