This module includes puppet functions to transform your boring, old and worn looking ascii characters into beautiful looking masterpieces.
With this module you can produce amazing looking tables, colorized strings and others transformations for output to the terminal screen. While this module is mainly for bolt plans it could be used in puppet code anywhere.
This module includes functions and datatypes only.
This module requires the terminal-table
gem. It's a direct dependency for
bolt, so open source users don't need to install additional gems. For PE users
that want to use the function, they need to install terminal-table for the
orchestrator:
GEM_PATH=/opt/puppetlabs/server/apps/bolt-server/lib/ruby GEM_HOME=/opt/puppetlabs/server/apps/bolt-server/lib/ruby /opt/puppetlabs/puppet/bin/gem install terminal-table --no-document
This module only contains functions to format and transform data. It will not output anything to stdout and only return formatted data ready to be sent to stdout or stderr.
The print_table function wraps the Terminal-Table ruby gem in a function and tries to provide the same API. You can create a table in two ways.
Example:
# puppet code
format::table({title => 'GPU list', head => ['Name', 'QTY'],
rows => [['GTX 1070', 5], ['GTX 2080 ti', 1]],
style => {width => 60 }
})
Which produces a table like:
+-----------------------------+----------------------------+
| GPU list |
+-----------------------------+----------------------------+
| Name | QTY |
+-----------------------------+----------------------------+
| GTX 1070 | 5 |
| GTX 2080 ti | 1 |
+-----------------------------+----------------------------+
