This package helps aligning rows of texts with ease. Texts can be aligned according to your preferences such as the position of the text, how many whitespaces between columns, replacing whitespaces with other symbols, et al.

Pre-requisite

• Node.jsnode-js-url >= 8.6.0
• NPMnpm-url >= 5.3.0 (NPMnpm-url comes Node.jsnode-js-url so there is no need to install separately.)

How to use

Install

# Install package with NPM
$ npm install --save tab-align

How to use

The following is a simple code snippet:

/** Import the package */
const tabAlign = require('tab-align');

/** Setting up with the position and whitespaces for alignment */
const pos = 'end';
const whitespaces = 4;
const allPossibleTitles = [
  'really really long title',
  'random title',
  'short title',
  'how\'s your day',
];
const fillWith = '.';
const alignText = tabAlign(allPossibleTitles, pos, whitespaces, fillWith);

console.log(alignText('Today\'s title'));
// This logs `........................Today's title`

tabAlign(stringArrays, alignTo, whitespaces, fillWith)
