Tables

1. Create an object which represents a row:

@HeaderOrder({"First Name", "Age"}) // specifies the sorting of the headers
                                    // this is optional, but if you don't include this,
                                    // the order of the columns is "random"
public static class Person {
    @Column("First Name") // must be same as in HeaderOrder
    public final String first;

    @Column("Age") // must be same as in HeaderOrder
    public final int age;
}

1. Create table

final Person[] people = new Person[5];
RandomFactory.fill(people); // generate random person objects

// create table and fill with array
final Table table = TableBuilder.from(people, Person.class)
    .color(true)
    .style(TableStyle.ROUND);

System.out.println(table);

Output (note: may be broken on some browsers)

╭────────────┬─────╮
│ First Name │ Age │
├────────────┼─────┤
│ Margaret   │ 42  │
│ Michael    │ 79  │
│ Anna       │ 43  │
│ Cynthia    │ 50  │
│ Margaret   │ 82  │
╰────────────┴─────╯

Without Annotations

final Person[] people = new Person[5];
RandomFactory.fill(people);

final Table x = TableBuilder.builder("Name", "Age")
    .loads(Arrays.asList(people), person -> TableBuilder.array(
        person.first,
        String.valueOf(person.age))
    )
    .build();
