SYNOPSIS
    use Text::SimpleTable::AutoWidth;

    my $t1 = Text::SimpleTable::AutoWidth->new();
    $t1->row( 'foobarbaz', 'yadayadayada' );

    .-----------+--------------.
    | foobarbaz | yadayadayada |
    '-----------+--------------'

    my $t2 = Text::SimpleTable::AutoWidth->new();
    $t2->captions( 'Foo', 'Bar' );
    $t2->row( 'foobarbaz', 'yadayadayada' );
    $t2->row( 'barbarbarbarbar', 'yada' );

DESCRIPTION
Simple eyecandy ASCII tables with auto-selection columns width, as seen in Catalyst.

METHODS

  new(@attrs)
Inherited constructor from Moo. You can set following attributes:

fixed_width

Set fixed width for resulting table. By default it's 0, that's mean "don't fix width", so width of result table will depend on input data.

Be warned, that fixed_width will include not only width of your data, but also all surronding characters, like spaces across values, table drawings (like '|') and hypen (if wrapping is needed).

max_width

Set maximum width for resulting table. By default it's 0, that's mean "use default value". Default value is stored in $Text::SimpleTable::AutoWidth::WIDTH_LIMIT, and can be changed at any moment. Default value for WIDTH_LIMIT is 200.

Be warned, that max_width will include not only width of your data, but also all surronding characters, like spaces across values, table drawings (like '|') and hypen (if wrapping is needed).

NB: if you set fixed_width and max_width at same time, then you'll get table with fixed width, but not wider than max_width characters.

captions

ArrayRef[Str] for captions in resulting table.

rows

ArrayRef[ArrayRef[Str]] for values in each row. You can use next method to add individual rows into table.

  row(@texts)
Add new row to table. Return $self, so you can write something like this:

    print Text::SimpleTable::AutoWidth
        ->new( max_width => 55, captions => [qw/ Name Age /] )
        ->row( 'Mother', 59 )
        ->row( 'Dad', 58 )
        ->row( 'me', 32 )
        ->draw();

  draw()
Draw table. Really, just calculate column width, and then call Text::SimpleTable->draw().
