I’ve got an interesting task on my work – make a table with pretty-print in console. I’ve googled it by request like php associative array to text table, but didn’t find anything which is good for me. So I’ve developed a package on the github and put it to the composer so you’re now able to use if in your projects 🙂

Assuming, I’ve written a PHP-class, which allows to transform associative arrays to cool ASCII tables. I’d want to support this package in the future with adding some cool features like color print in console, printing formats, charset, etc.

The package is pretty simple in use:

<?php

use dekor\ArrayToTextTable;

$data = [
    [
        'id' => 1,
        'name' => 'Denis Koronets',
        'role' => 'php developer',
    ],
    [
        'id' => 2,
        'name' => 'Maxim Ambroskin',
        'role' => 'java developer',
    ],
    [
        'id' => 3,
        'name' => 'Andrew Sikorsky',
        'role' => 'php developer',
    ]
];

echo (new ArrayToTextTable($data))->render();

Will print the next output:

+----+-----------------+----------------+
| id | name            | role           |
+----+-----------------+----------------+
| 1  | Denis Koronets  | php developer  |
| 2  | Maxim Ambroskin | java developer |
| 3  | Andrew Sikorsky | php developer  |
+----+-----------------+----------------+
