-### Streaming
+
+<a name="table-api-createstream"></a>
+### createStream
`table` package exports `createStream` function used to draw a table and append rows.
-`createStream` requires `{number} columnDefault.width` and `{number} columnCount` configuration properties.
+**Parameter:**
+ - _**config:**_ the same as `table`'s, except `config.columnDefault.width` and `config.columnCount` must be provided.
-```js
-import {
- createStream
-} from 'table';
-let config,
- stream;
+```js
+import { createStream } from 'table';
-config = {
+const config = {
columnDefault: {
width: 50
},
columnCount: 1
};
-stream = createStream(config);
+const stream = createStream(config);
setInterval(() => {
stream.write([new Date()]);
}, 500);
```
-
+
`table` package uses ANSI escape codes to overwrite the output of the last line when a new row is printed.
Streaming supports all of the configuration properties and functionality of a static table (such as auto text wrapping, alignment and padding), e.g.
```js
-import {
- createStream
-} from 'table';
+import { createStream } from 'table';
import _ from 'lodash';
-let config,
- stream,
- i;
-
-config = {
+const config = {
columnDefault: {
width: 50
},
columnCount: 3,
- columns: {
- 0: {
+ columns: [
+ {
width: 10,
alignment: 'right'
},
- 1: {
- alignment: 'center',
- },
- 2: {
- width: 10
- }
- }
+ { alignment: 'center' },
+ { width: 10 }
+
+ ]
};
-stream = createStream(config);
+const stream = createStream(config);
-i = 0;

-When `wrapWord` is `true` the text is broken at the nearest space or one of the special characters ("-", "_", "\", "/", ".", ",", ";"), e.g.

+#### Borderless Table
-data = [

+Simply using `void` border character template creates a table with a lot of unnecessary spacing.
-config = {
- columns: {
- 0: {
- width: 20,
- wrapWord: true
- }
- }
-};
+To create a more pleasant to the eye table, reset the padding and remove the joining rows, e.g.
+
+```js
-output = table(data, config);
+const output = table(data, {
+ border: getBorderCharacters('void'),
+ columnDefault: {
+ paddingLeft: 0,
+ paddingRight: 1
+ },
+ drawHorizontalLine: () => false
