README
Textme.PrettyPrint.Tabulate : Print any list, vector or map of records as a well-formatted readable table. Nested record structures are printed with hierarchically arranged headers, thus clearly showing the nested structures.
Text.PrettyPrint.Tabulate
- This module provides simple functions used to print values in tabular format
- Version 0.3.0.0
- Contributions and Bug Reports welcome. Please use the Github issue tracker.
Release Notes 0.3.0.0 (This release has breaking changes)
-
This release has some breaking changes which was required to extend functionality. The extended functionality improves on previous release by printing nested records with hierarchical column headers
-
All Records types need to update their
Tabulate
instances to provide a flag, namelyExpandWhenNested
orDoNotExpandWhenNested
. -
ppTable
function has been renamed toprintTable
to make the function name more descriptive. -
New function called printTableWithFlds has been added.
Example
{-# LANGUAGE MultiParamTypeClasses#-}
{-# LANGUAGE DeriveGeneric #-}
{-# LANGUAGE DeriveDataTypeable #-}
import Text.PrettyPrint.Tabulate
import qualified GHC.Generics as G
import Data.Data
import qualified Text.PrettyPrint.Tabulate as T
import qualified Data.Map as Map
import qualified Data.List as List
import qualified Data.Vector as Vector
Instance Declaration Requirements
-
All records definitions should
derive
fromData
andGeneric
-
All field types that are record attributes should have an instance of
CellValueFormatter
. Default instances for standard types are already provided. -
All records that need to be printed as a table need to be an instance of
Tabulate
. -
Depending on if the nested record’s fields have to be expanded, the Tabulate instance could either be
instance Tabulate Price ExpandWhenNested
orinstance Tabulate Price DoNotExpandWhenNested
.
data FxCode = USD | EUR | JPY deriving (Show, Data, G.Generic)
instance T.CellValueFormatter FxCode
-- This record type will be nested inside `Stock`
data Price = Price {price::Double, fx_code::FxCode} deriving (Data, G.Generic, Show)
-- if we do not want the `Price` records to be expanded into their own fields
-- then choose `T.DoNotExpandWhenNested`
instance T.Tabulate Price T.ExpandWhenNested
instance T.CellValueFormatter Price
data Stock = Stock {ticker::String, local_price::Price, marketCap::Double} deriving (
Data, G.Generic, Show)
instance T.Tabulate Stock T.ExpandWhenNested
Once we have the records and required instances created, we can see how the created records can be viewed in the tabular format.
yahoo = Stock {ticker="YHOO", local_price=Price 42.29101010 USD, marketCap=40e9}
google = Stock {ticker="GOOG", local_price=Price 774.210101 EUR, marketCap=532.09e9}
amazon = Stock {ticker="AMZN", local_price=Price 799.161717 JPY, marketCap=378.86e9}
tickers = [yahoo, google, amazon]
tickers_vector = Vector.fromList tickers
tickers_map:: Map.Map Integer Stock
tickers_map = Map.fromList [(10, yahoo), (100, google), (1000, amazon)]
printExamples:: IO ()
printExamples = do
putStrLn "Printing records in a list\n"
T.printTable tickers
putStrLn "\nPrinting records in a map with the index.\nNote the `key(s)` are printed as first columns"
T.printTable tickers_map
putStrLn "\nPrinting records in a vector\n"
T.printTable tickers_vector
-- Sometimes records may have too many fields. In those case, specific fields can
-- be chosen to be printed. Currently, support for this functionality is
-- minimal. The 'headers` are not printed. In the future, a function that
-- can take header labels as a list will be provided.
putStrLn "\nPrinting specific fields. Note, currently field names are not printed"
T.printTableWithFlds [T.DFld (price . local_price), T.DFld ticker] tickers_map
putStrLn "\nPrint nested record in a map, individually"
T.printTable $ fmap local_price tickers_map
Print the examples
main:: IO ()
main = do
printExamples
