Table Print
Table print is a Ruby console table formatter and data inspection utility that transforms collections of structured objects into aligned terminal tables. It functions as a development aid for debugging by formatting object attributes into readable text tables, traversing nested object relations, and displaying associated child records directly within parent table rows.
The library includes options for table column customization, allowing users to adjust individual column widths, define custom headers, apply data formatting rules, and use cell value transformers. It also provides persistent class and global defaults to store preferred column layouts and printing rules for recurring object inspections. Additionally, the software features tabular data export utilities to convert structured object data into comma-separated values or preformatted HTML tags.
