Limit Column Width

maxLen​

Limit the max Length of each column using this.

By default all lines are printed in single line. But in case you want to put max width of column lines will be splitted into multiples.

const { Table } = require("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();

You can also use minLen accordingly

const { Table } = require("console-table-printer");

const p = new Table({
  columns: [
    {
      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",
    },
  ],
});

  {
    Index: 2,
    right_align_text: "This row is blue",
    green: 10.212,
