So I am querying a sql database and getting a result like
[
{ id: '626916199783071750', birthdays: '10/3' },
{ id: '797279656595947531', birthdays: '01/02' },
{ id: '548976894576849555', birthdays: '3/24' }
]
But it could have more columns or rows so like it could be something like this
[
{ id: '626916199783071750', username: 'whatever', idk: true },
{ id: '797279656595947531', username: 'thing', idk: false},
{ id: '7972656595947531', username: 'idk', idk: true },
{ id: '874596745986988596', username: 'cooldude', idk: false }
]
I want to make it into a table I send to the console, something like
+--------------------+----------+
| ID | Birthday |
+--------------------+----------+
| 626916199783071750 | 10/3 |
+--------------------+----------+
| 797279656595947531 | 01/02 |
+--------------------+----------+
| 548976894576849555 | 3/24 |
+--------------------+----------+
Where it adds the formatting and the correct amount of rows/columns. I would use a npm package but I cannot seem to find one that takes an array of objects and outputs a table.
There's a very handy built-in way of doing this (works on the browser as well) using console.table (Node.js documentation).
console.table([{ a: 1, b: 'Y' }, { a: 'Z', b: 2 }]);
// ┌─────────┬─────┬─────┐
// │ (index) │ a │ b │
// ├─────────┼─────┼─────┤
// │ 0 │ 1 │ 'Y' │
// │ 1 │ 'Z' │ 2 │
// └─────────┴─────┴─────┘
You can even restrict which properties get printed out:
console.table([{ a: 1, b: 'Y' }, { a: 'Z', b: 2 }], ['a']);
// ┌─────────┬─────┐
// │ (index) │ a │
// ├─────────┼─────┤
// │ 0 │ 1 │
// │ 1 │ 'Z' │
// └─────────┴─────┘
