Limit Column Width

maxLen​

Limit the max length of each column using this.

By default, all lines are printed in a single line. But in case you want to put a max width on column lines, they will be split into multiple lines.

import { Table } from 'console-table-printer';

const p = new Table({
  columns: [
    { name: "Index", alignment: "left", color: "red" },
    {
      name: "right_align_text",
      alignment: "right",
      maxLen: 10,
      title: "maxLen10",
    },
    { name: "green", alignment: "center", color: "green" },
  ],
});

// add rows with color
p.addRow(
  {
    Index: 2,
    right_align_text: "This row is blue",
    green: 10.212,
  },
  { color: "blue" }
);
p.addRow(
  {
    Index: 3,
    right_align_text: "I would like some red wine please",
    green: 10.212,
  },
  { color: "red" }
);

// print
p.printTable();

    {
      name: "Index",
      alignment: "left",
      color: "red",
      minLen: 15,
      title: "minLen15",
    },
    {
      name: "right_align_text",
      alignment: "right",
      maxLen: 15,
      title: "maxLen15",
    },
    {
      name: "green",
      alignment: "center",
      color: "green",
      minLen: 20,
      title: "minLen20",
    },
  ],
});

    right_align_text: "This row is blue",
    green: 10.212,
