|
**libfort** is a simple crossplatform library to create formatted text tables.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
**Features:**
|
|
- Easy to integrate (only 2 files)
|
|
- Customization of appearance (various [border styles](https://github.com/seleznevae/libfort/wiki/Border-styles-(C-API)) and row/column/cell [properties](https://github.com/seleznevae/libfort/wiki/Cell--and-table-properties-(C-API)) for indentation, alignment, padding)
|
|
- A number of functions to fill the table (add content by adding separate cells, rows or use `printf` like functions)
|
|
- Support of multiple lines in cells
|
|
- Support of UTF-8 and wide characters
|
|
|
|
## Design goals
|
|
- **Portability**. All main OSes (Linux, Windows, macOS, FreeBSD) and compilers are supported.
|
|
- **Maintainability and robustness**. **libfort** is written in C because it is much less complicated than C++ and it can be used in both C and C++ projects and even on platforms without C++ compiler.
|
|
- **Trivial integration.** Therefore all source code files are amalgamed in only 2 files.
|
|
- **Heavy testing.** The goal is to cover 100% of the code (it is not reached yet) and to run tests on all major compilers and platforms.
|
|
|
|
## Integration
|
|
Add 2 files ( [`fort.c`](https://github.com/seleznevae/libfort/blob/master/lib/fort.c) and [`fort.h`](https://github.com/seleznevae/libfort/blob/master/lib/fort.h) from [**lib**](https://github.com/seleznevae/libfort/tree/master/lib) direrctory) to your C or C++ project and include
|
|
```C
|
|
#include "fort.h"
|
|
```
|
|
in your source code where you will use **libfort** functions.
|
|
|
|
For C++ projects that use compiler with C++11 support (and later) there are also availabe convenient C++ wrappers around C functions (see [`fort.hpp`](https://github.com/seleznevae/libfort/blob/master/lib/fort.hpp) in **lib** direrctory). In that case instead of _fort.h_ you will need to include
|
|
```CPP
|
|
#include "fort.hpp"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Integration with cmake
|
|
|
|
To add **libfort** to a cmake project clone repository and add these lines to your `CMakeLists.txt` file:
|
|
```cmake
|
|
add_subdirectory(${PATH_TO_LIBFORT}/lib)
|
|
target_link_libraries(${YOUR_APP} fort)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Documentation
|
|
See guide in [tutorial](https://github.com/seleznevae/libfort/blob/develop/docs/tutorial/Tutorial.md) of the library and doxygen [API documentation](http://seleznevae.github.io/libfort).
|
|
|
|
## Getting Started
|
|
|
|
The common libfort usage pattern (C API):
|
|
- create a table (`ft_create_table`);
|
|
- fill it with data (`ft_write_ln`, `fr_ptrintf_ln`, `ft_row_write`, ...);
|
|
- modify basic table appearance (`ft_set_cell_prop`, `ft_set_border_style` ...)
|
|
- convert table to string representation (`ft_to_string`);
|
|
- destroy the table (`ft_destroy_table`)
|
|
|
|
Here are some examples:
|
|
|
|
### Basic example
|
|
|
|
|
|
```C
|
|
/* C API */
|
|
#include <stdio.h>
|
|
#include "fort.h"
|
|
int main(void)
|
|
{
|
|
ft_table_t *table = ft_create_table();
|
|
/* Set "header" type for the first row */
|
|
ft_set_cell_prop(table, 0, FT_ANY_COLUMN, FT_CPROP_ROW_TYPE, FT_ROW_HEADER);
|
|
|
|
ft_write_ln(table, "N", "Driver", "Time", "Avg Speed");
|
|
|
|
ft_write_ln(table, "1", "Ricciardo", "1:25.945", "222.128");
|
|
ft_write_ln(table, "2", "Hamilton", "1:26.373", "221.027");
|
|
ft_write_ln(table, "3", "Verstappen", "1:26.469", "220.782");
|
|
|
|
printf("%s\n", ft_to_string(table));
|
|
ft_destroy_table(table);
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
```C++
|
|
/* C++ API */
|
|
#include <iostream>
|
|
#include "fort.hpp"
|
|
int main(void)
|
|
{
|
|
fort::char_table table;
|
|
table << fort::header
|
|
<< "N" << "Driver" << "Time" << "Avg Speed" << fort::endr
|
|
<< "1" << "Ricciardo" << "1:25.945" << "47.362" << fort::endr
|
|
<< "2" << "Hamilton" << "1:26.373" << "35.02" << fort::endr
|
|
<< "3" << "Verstappen" << "1:26.469" << "29.78" << fort::endr;
|
|
|
|
std::cout << table.to_string() << std::endl;
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Output:
|
|
```text
|
|
+---+------------+----------+-----------+
|
|
| N | Driver | Time | Avg Speed |
|
|
+---+------------+----------+-----------+
|
|
| 1 | Ricciardo | 1:25.945 | 47.362 |
|
|
| 2 | Hamilton | 1:26.373 | 35.02 |
|
|
| 3 | Verstappen | 1:26.469 | 29.78 |
|
|
+---+------------+----------+-----------+
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Customize table appearance
|
|
|
|
```C
|
|
/* C API */
|
|
#include <stdio.h>
|
|
#include "fort.h"
|
|
int main(void)
|
|
{
|
|
ft_table_t *table = ft_create_table();
|
|
/* Change border style */
|
|
ft_set_border_style(table, FT_DOUBLE2_STYLE);
|
|
|
|
/* Set "header" type for the first row */
|
|
ft_set_cell_prop(table, 0, FT_ANY_COLUMN, FT_CPROP_ROW_TYPE, FT_ROW_HEADER);
|
|
ft_write_ln(table, "Movie title", "Director", "Year", "Rating");
|
|
|
|
ft_write_ln(table, "The Shawshank Redemption", "Frank Darabont", "1994", "9.5");
|
|
ft_write_ln(table, "The Godfather", "Francis Ford Coppola", "1972", "9.2");
|
|
ft_write_ln(table, "2001: A Space Odyssey", "Stanley Kubrick", "1968", "8.5");
|
|
|
|
/* Set center alignment for the 1st and 3rd columns */
|
|
ft_set_cell_prop(table, FT_ANY_ROW, 1, FT_CPROP_TEXT_ALIGN, FT_ALIGNED_CENTER);
|
|
ft_set_cell_prop(table, FT_ANY_ROW, 3, FT_CPROP_TEXT_ALIGN, FT_ALIGNED_CENTER);
|
|
|
|
printf("%s\n", ft_to_string(table));
|
|
ft_destroy_table(table);
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
```C++
|
|
/* C++ API */
|
|
#include <iostream>
|
|
#include "fort.hpp"
|
|
int main(void)
|
|
{
|
|
fort::char_table table;
|
|
/* Change border style */
|
|
table.set_border_style(FT_DOUBLE2_STYLE);
|
|
|
|
table << fort::header
|
|
<< "Movie title" << "Director" << "Year" << "Rating" << fort::endr
|
|

|
|
<< "2001: A Space Odyssey" << "Stanley Kubrick" << "1968" << "8.5" << fort::endr;
|
|
|
|
/* Set center alignment for the 1st and 3rd columns */
|
|
table.column(1).set_cell_text_align(fort::text_align::center);
|
|
table.column(3).set_cell_text_align(fort::text_align::center);
|
|
|
|
std::cout << table.to_string() << std::endl;
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|

### Different ways to fill table with data
|
|
|
|
```C
|
|
/* C API */
|
|
#include <stdio.h>
|
|
#include "fort.h"
|
|
int main(void)
|
|
{
|
|
ft_table_t *table = ft_create_table();
|
|
/* Set "header" type for the first row */
|
|
ft_set_cell_prop(table, 0, FT_ANY_COLUMN, FT_CPROP_ROW_TYPE, FT_ROW_HEADER);
|
|
ft_write_ln(table, "N", "Planet", "Speed, km/s", "Temperature, K");
|
|
|
|
/* Fill row with printf like function */
|
|
ft_printf_ln(table, "1|%s|%6.3f|%d", "Mercury", 47.362, 340);
|
|
|
|
/* Fill row explicitly with strings */
|
|
ft_write_ln(table, "2", "Venus", "35.02", "737");
|
|
|
|
/* Fill row with the array of strings */
|
|
const char *arr[4] = {"3", "Earth", "29.78", "288"};
|
|
ft_row_write_ln(table, 4, arr);
|
|
|
|
printf("%s\n", ft_to_string(table));
|
|
ft_destroy_table(table);
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
```C++
|
|
/* C++ API */
|
|
#include <iostream>
|
|
#include "fort.hpp"
|
|
int main(void)
|
|
{
|
|
fort::char_table table;
|
|
table << fort::header;
|
|
/* Fill each cell with operator[] */
|
|
table [0][0] = "N";
|
|
table [0][1] = "Planet";
|
|
table [0][2] = "Speed, km/s";
|
|
table [0][3] = "Temperature, K";
|
|
table << fort::endr;
|
|
|
|
/* Fill with iostream operator<< */
|
|
table << 1 << "Mercury" << 47.362 << 340 << fort::endr;
|
|
|
|
/* Fill row explicitly with strings */
|
|
table.write_ln("2", "Venus", "35.02", "737");
|
|
|
|
/* Fill row with data from the container */
|
|
std::vector<std::string> arr = {"3", "Earth", "29.78", "288"};
|
|
table.range_write_ln(std::begin(arr), std::end(arr));
|
|
|
|
std::cout << table.to_string() << std::endl;
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Output:
|
|
```text
|
|
+---+---------+-------------+----------------+
|
|
| N | Planet | Speed, km/s | Temperature, K |
|
|
+---+---------+-------------+----------------+

### Working with multibyte-character-strings
|
|
`libfort` supports `wchar_t` and utf-8 strings. Here are simple examples of working with utf-8 strings:
|
|
|
|
|
|
```C
|
|
/* C API */
|
|
#include <stdio.h>
|
|
#include "fort.h"
|
|
int main(void)
|
|
{
|
|
ft_table_t *table = ft_create_table();
|
|
ft_set_border_style(table, FT_NICE_STYLE);
|
|
ft_set_cell_prop(table, FT_ANY_ROW, 0, FT_CPROP_TEXT_ALIGN, FT_ALIGNED_CENTER);
|
|
ft_set_cell_prop(table, FT_ANY_ROW, 1, FT_CPROP_TEXT_ALIGN, FT_ALIGNED_LEFT);
|
|
ft_set_cell_prop(table, 0, FT_ANY_COLUMN, FT_CPROP_ROW_TYPE, FT_ROW_HEADER);
|
|
|
|
ft_u8write_ln(table, "Ранг", "Название", "Год", "Рейтинг");
|
|
ft_u8write_ln(table, "1", "Побег из Шоушенка", "1994", "9.5");
|
|
ft_u8write_ln(table, "2", "12 разгневанных мужчин", "1957", "8.8");
|
|
ft_u8write_ln(table, "3", "Космическая одиссея 2001 года", "1968", "8.5");
|
|
ft_u8write_ln(table, "4", "Бегущий по лезвию", "1982", "8.1");
|
|
|
|
printf("%s\n", (const char *)ft_to_u8string(table));
|
|
ft_destroy_table(table);
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
```C++
|
|
/* C++ API */
|
|
#include <iostream>
|
|
#include "fort.hpp"
|
|
int main(void)
|
|
{
|
|
fort::utf8_table table;
|
|
table.set_border_style(FT_NICE_STYLE);
|
|
table.column(0).set_cell_text_align(fort::text_align::center);
|
|
table.column(1).set_cell_text_align(fort::text_align::center);
|
|
|
|
table << fort::header
|
|
<< "Ранг" << "Название" << "Год" << "Рейтинг" << fort::endr
|
|
<< "1" << "Побег из Шоушенка" << "1994" << "9.5"<< fort::endr
|
|
<< "2" << "12 разгневанных мужчин" << "1957" << "8.8" << fort::endr
|
|
<< "3" << "Космическая одиссея 2001 года" << "1968" << "8.5" << fort::endr
|
|
<< "4" << "Бегущий по лезвию" << "1982" << "8.1" << fort::endr;
|
|
std::cout << table.to_string() << std::endl;
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Output:
|
|
```text
|
|
╔══════╦═══════════════════════════════╦══════╦═════════╗

|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Please note:
|
|
- `libfort` internally has a very simple logic to compute visible width of utf-8
|
|
strings. It considers that each codepoint will occupy one position on the
|
|
terminal in case of monowidth font (some east asians wide and fullwidth
|
|
characters (see http://www.unicode.org/reports/tr11/tr11-33.html) will occupy
|
|
2 positions). This logic is very simple and covers wide range of cases. But
|
|
obviously there a lot of cases when it is not sufficient. In such cases user
|
|
should use some external libraries and provide an appropriate function to
|
|
`libfort` via `ft_set_u8strwid_func` function.
|
|
|
|
## Supported platforms and compilers
|
|
|
|
The following compilers are currently used in continuous integration at [Travis](https://travis-ci.org/seleznevae/libfort), [AppVeyor](https://ci.appveyor.com/project/seleznevae/libfort) and [Cirrus](https://cirrus-ci.com/github/seleznevae/libfort):
|
|
|
|
| Compiler | Operating System |
|
|
|--------------------|------------------------------|
|
|
| GCC 4.8.4 | Ubuntu 14.04.3 |
|
|
| GCC 4.9.4 | Ubuntu 14.04.3 |
|
|
| GCC 5.5.0 | Ubuntu 14.04.3 |
|
|
| GCC 6.4.0 | Ubuntu 14.04.3 |
|
|
| GCC 7.3.0 | Ubuntu 14.04.3 |
|
|
| GCC 8.1.0 | Ubuntu 14.04.3 |
|
|
| Clang 5.0.0 | Ubuntu 14.04.3 |
|
|
| AppleClang 7.3.0 | Darwin Kernel Version 15.6.0 |
|
|
| AppleClang 8.1.0 | Darwin Kernel Version 16.7.0 |
|
|
| AppleClang 9.1.0 | Darwin Kernel Version 17.4.0 |
|
|
| Clang 6.0.1 | FreeBSD 12.0 |
|
|
| Visual Studio 2017 | Windows Server 2016 |
|
|
|
|
|
|
Please note:
|
|
- In case of clang on OS X before using **libfort** with ```wchar_t``` with real unicode symbols it may be necessary to set ```setlocale(LC_CTYPE, "");``` because otherwise standard function ```swprintf```, that libfort uses internally, may fail and ```ft_to_string``` will return error.
