Console Tables

beautylog allows displaying data in nice tables for better overview.

There are different types of tables.

Custom

var bl = require('beautylog')("os"); //for use in OS console environment
var myTable = bl.table.new("custom",["Heading1".blue,"Heading2".blue,"Heading3".blue]); // type "custom"
myTable.push(["check 1","success"]); // adds a row the myTable
myTable.push(["check 2","error"]); // adds a row the myTable
myTable.push(["check 3","error"]); // adds a row the myTable
myTable.print(); //prints myTable to the console

Checks

var bl = require('beautylog')("os"); //for use in OS console environment
var myTable = bl.table.new("checks"); // type checks
myTable.push(["check 1","success"]); // adds a row the myTable
myTable.push(["check 2","error"]); // adds a row the myTable
myTable.push(["check 3","error"]); // adds a row the myTable
myTable.print(); //prints myTable to the console

The table from the code with type "checks" above looks like this:
