#### Example   1 - Basic
```go
data := [][]string{
    []string{"A", "The Good", "500"},
    []string{"B", "The Very very Bad Man", "288"},
    []string{"C", "The Ugly", "120"},

}

table := tablewriter.NewWriter(os.Stdout)
table.SetHeader([]string{"Name", "Sign", "Rating"})

for _, v := range data {
    table.Append(v)
}
table.Render() // Send output
```

##### Output  1
```
+------+-----------------------+--------+
| NAME |         SIGN          | RATING |
+------+-----------------------+--------+
|  A   |       The Good        |    500 |
|  B   | The Very very Bad Man |    288 |
|  C   |       The Ugly        |    120 |
|  D   |      The Gopher       |    800 |
+------+-----------------------+--------+
```

#### Example 2 - Without Border / Footer / Bulk Append
```go
data := [][]string{
    []string{"1/1/2014", "Domain name", "2233", "$10.98"},
    []string{"1/1/2014", "January Hosting", "2233", "$54.95"},
    []string{"1/4/2014", "February Hosting", "2233", "$51.00"},
    []string{"1/4/2014", "February Extra Bandwidth", "2233", "$30.00"},
}

table := tablewriter.NewWriter(os.Stdout)
table.SetHeader([]string{"Date", "Description", "CV2", "Amount"})
table.SetFooter([]string{"", "", "Total", "$146.93"}) // Add Footer
table.SetBorder(false)                                // Set Border to false
table.AppendBulk(data)                                // Add Bulk Data
table.Render()
```

##### Output 2
```

    DATE   |       DESCRIPTION        |  CV2  | AMOUNT
-----------+--------------------------+-------+----------
  1/1/2014 | Domain name              |  2233 | $10.98

                                      --------+----------

```


#### Example 3 - CSV
```go
table, _ := tablewriter.NewCSV(os.Stdout, "testdata/test_info.csv", true)
table.SetAlignment(tablewriter.ALIGN_LEFT)   // Set Alignment
table.Render()
```

##### Output 3

```

#### Example 4  - Custom Separator
```go
table, _ := tablewriter.NewCSV(os.Stdout, "testdata/test.csv", true)
table.SetRowLine(true)         // Enable row line

// Change table lines
table.SetCenterSeparator("*")
table.SetColumnSeparator("╪")
table.SetRowSeparator("-")

table.SetAlignment(tablewriter.ALIGN_LEFT)
table.Render()
```

##### Output 4

```


#### Table with color
```go
data := [][]string{
	[]string{"1/1/2014", "Domain name", "2233", "$10.98"},
	[]string{"1/1/2014", "January Hosting", "2233", "$54.95"},
	[]string{"1/4/2014", "February Hosting", "2233", "$51.00"},
	[]string{"1/4/2014", "February Extra Bandwidth", "2233", "$30.00"},
}

table := tablewriter.NewWriter(os.Stdout)
table.SetHeader([]string{"Date", "Description", "CV2", "Amount"})
table.SetFooter([]string{"", "", "Total", "$146.93"}) // Add Footer
table.SetBorder(false)                                // Set Border to false

table.SetHeaderColor(tablewriter.Colors{tablewriter.Bold, tablewriter.BgGreenColor},
	tablewriter.Colors{tablewriter.FgHiRedColor, tablewriter.Bold, tablewriter.BgBlackColor},
	tablewriter.Colors{tablewriter.BgRedColor, tablewriter.FgWhiteColor},
	tablewriter.Colors{tablewriter.BgCyanColor, tablewriter.FgWhiteColor})

table.SetColumnColor(tablewriter.Colors{tablewriter.Bold, tablewriter.FgHiBlackColor},
	tablewriter.Colors{tablewriter.Bold, tablewriter.FgHiRedColor},
	tablewriter.Colors{tablewriter.Bold, tablewriter.FgHiBlackColor},
	tablewriter.Colors{tablewriter.Bold, tablewriter.FgBlackColor})

table.SetFooterColor(tablewriter.Colors{}, tablewriter.Colors{},
	tablewriter.Colors{tablewriter.Bold},
	tablewriter.Colors{tablewriter.FgHiRedColor})

table.AppendBulk(data)
table.Render()
```

#### Example 7 - Set table caption
```go
data := [][]string{
    []string{"A", "The Good", "500"},
    []string{"B", "The Very very Bad Man", "288"},
    []string{"C", "The Ugly", "120"},
    []string{"D", "The Gopher", "800"},
}

table := tablewriter.NewWriter(os.Stdout)
table.SetHeader([]string{"Name", "Sign", "Rating"})
table.SetCaption(true, "Movie ratings.")

for _, v := range data {
    table.Append(v)
}
table.Render() // Send output
```

Note: Caption text will wrap with total width of rendered table.

##### Output 7
```
+------+-----------------------+--------+
| NAME |         SIGN          | RATING |
+------+-----------------------+--------+
|  A   |       The Good        |    500 |
|  B   | The Very very Bad Man |    288 |
|  C   |       The Ugly        |    120 |
|  D   |      The Gopher       |    800 |
+------+-----------------------+--------+
Movie ratings.
```

#### Example 8 - Set NoWhiteSpace and TablePadding option
```go
data := [][]string{
    {"node1.example.com", "Ready", "compute", "1.11"},
    {"node2.example.com", "Ready", "compute", "1.11"},
    {"node3.example.com", "Ready", "compute", "1.11"},
    {"node4.example.com", "NotReady", "compute", "1.11"},
}

table := tablewriter.NewWriter(os.Stdout)
table.SetHeader([]string{"Name", "Status", "Role", "Version"})
table.SetAutoWrapText(false)
table.SetAutoFormatHeaders(true)
table.SetHeaderAlignment(ALIGN_LEFT)
table.SetAlignment(ALIGN_LEFT)
table.SetCenterSeparator("")
table.SetColumnSeparator("")
table.SetRowSeparator("")
table.SetHeaderLine(false)
table.SetBorder(false)
table.SetTablePadding("\t") // pad with tabs
table.SetNoWhiteSpace(true)
table.AppendBulk(data) // Add Bulk Data
table.Render()
```

##### Output 8
```
NAME             	STATUS  	ROLE   	VERSION 
node1.example.com	Ready   	compute	1.11   	
node2.example.com	Ready   	compute	1.11   	
node3.example.com	Ready   	compute	1.11   	
node4.example.com	NotReady	compute	1.11   	
```

#### Render table into a string

Instead of rendering the table to `io.Stdout` you can also render it into a string. Go 1.10 introduced the `strings.Builder` type which implements the `io.Writer` interface and can therefore be used for this task. Example:

```go
package main

import (
    "strings"
    "fmt"

    "github.com/olekukonko/tablewriter"
)

func main() {
    tableString := &strings.Builder{}
    table := tablewriter.NewWriter(tableString)

    /*
     * Code to fill the table
     */

    table.Render()

    fmt.Println(tableString.String())
}
```

#### TODO
- ~~Import Directly from CSV~~  - `done`
- ~~Support for `SetFooter`~~  - `done`
- ~~Support for `SetBorder`~~  - `done`
- ~~Support table with uneven rows~~ - `done`
- ~~Support custom alignment~~
- General Improvement & Optimisation
- `NewHTML` Parse table from HTML
