Class documentation

See the tests folder for some examples, but basically here's how to use it:

usejc21\CliTable;
// $data used below is an array of rows with fields. See tests/data.php for an example.$table = newCliTable;
$table->setTableColor('blue');
$table->setHeaderColor('cyan');
$table->addField('First Name', 'firstName', false, 'white');
$table->addField('Last Name', 'lastName', false, 'white');
$table->addField('DOB', 'dobTime', newCliTableManipulator('datelong'));
$table->addField('Admin', 'isAdmin', newCliTableManipulator('yesno'), 'yellow');
$table->addField('Last Seen', 'lastSeenTime', newCliTableManipulator('nicetime'), 'red');
$table->addField('Expires', 'expires', newCliTableManipulator('duetime'), 'green');
$table->injectData($data);
$table->display();

If you want to create your own manipulators:

class MyManipulator extends CliTableManipulator {
publicfunctionchucknorris($value)
{
return'Chuck norris said: ' . $value;
}
}
$table = newCliTable;
$table->setTableColor('blue');
$table->setHeaderColor('cyan');
$table->addField('First Name', 'firstName', false, 'white');
$table->addField('Last Name', 'lastName', false, 'white');
$table->addField('DOB', 'dobTime', newCliTableManipulator('datelong'));
$table->addField('Admin', 'isAdmin', newMyManipulator('chucknorris'), 'yellow');
$table->addField('Last Seen', 'lastSeenTime', newCliTableManipulator('nicetime'), 'red');
$table->addField('Expires', 'expires', newCliTableManipulator('duetime'), 'green');
$table->injectData($data);
$table->display();
