Examples
========

Write a Markdown table
----------------------

.. code:: python

import pytablewriter

writer = pytablewriter.MarkdownTableWriter()
writer.table_name = "example_table"
writer.header_list = ["int", "float", "str", "bool", "mix", "time"]
writer.value_matrix = [
[0, 0.1, "hoge", True, 0, "2017-01-01 03:04:05+0900"],
[2, "-2.23", "foo", False, None, "2017-12-23 45:01:23+0900"],
[3, 0, "bar", "true", "inf", "2017-03-03 33:44:55+0900"],
[-10, -9.9, "", "FALSE", "nan", "2017-01-01 00:00:00+0900"],
]

writer.write_table()

.. code::

# example_table
int|float|str |bool |mix| time
--:|----:|----|-----|--:|------------------------
0| 0.1|hoge|True | 0|2017-01-01 03:04:05+0900
2| -2.2|foo |False| |2017-12-23 12:34:51+0900
3| 0.0|bar |True |inf|2017-03-03 22:44:55+0900
-10| -9.9| |False|nan|2017-01-01 00:00:00+0900

Write a reStructuredText table (grid tables)
--------------------------------------------


.. code:: python

import pytablewriter

writer = pytablewriter.RstGridTableWriter()
writer.table_name = "example_table"
writer.header_list = ["int", "float", "str", "bool", "mix", "time"]
writer.value_matrix = [
[0, 0.1, "hoge", True, 0, "2017-01-01 03:04:05+0900"],
[2, "-2.23", "foo", False, None, "2017-12-23 45:01:23+0900"],
[3, 0, "bar", "true", "inf", "2017-03-03 33:44:55+0900"],
[-10, -9.9, "", "FALSE", "nan", "2017-01-01 00:00:00+0900"],
]

writer.write_table()


.. code::

.. table:: example_table

.. code:: python

import pytablewriter

writer = pytablewriter.JavaScriptTableWriter()
writer.table_name = "example_table"
writer.header_list = ["int", "float", "str", "bool", "mix", "time"]

writer = pytablewriter.ExcelXlsxTableWriter()
writer.open_workbook("sample.xlsx")

writer.make_worksheet("example")
writer.header_list = ["int", "float", "str", "bool", "mix", "time"]
writer.value_matrix = [
[0, 0.1, "hoge", True, 0, "2017-01-01 03:04:05+0900"],

[-10, -9.9, "", "FALSE", "nan", "2017-01-01 00:00:00+0900"],
]
writer.write_table()

writer.close()
