CommandBox has a helper for printing ASCII Art tables in your custom commands and task runners called print.table(). We've taken this a step further and wrapped the table printer utility in a new command so you can use it from the CLI directly. The printTable command will accept ANY data in as JSON and it will marshal it into a query for you. This means it can be a query, an array of structs, an array or arrays, and more. You can now get quick and easy visualization of any data right from the CLI or in builds.
data - JSON serialized query, array of structs, or array of arrays to represent in table form
includeHeaders - A list of headers to include.
headerNames - A list/array of column headers to use instead of the default specifically for array of arrays
debug - Only print out the names of the columns and the first row values
When using an array of arrays and not specifying headerNames, the columns will be named col_1, col_2, col_3, etc...
If you are running inside a build server, the terminal width will use a default setting, which may be smaller than you wish. Terminal width can be overridden for entire CLI
or for a specific printTable command
or for a specific print.table() call
