Example 1 - Basic
data := [][]string{
[]string{"A", "The Good", "500"},
[]string{"B", "The Very very Bad Man", "288"},
[]string{"C", "The Ugly", "120"},
[]string{"D", "The Gopher", "800"},
}
table := tablewriter.NewWriter(os.Stdout)
table.SetHeader([]string{"Name", "Sign", "Rating"})
for _, v := range data {
table.Append(v)
}
table.Render() // Send output
Output 1
+------+-----------------------+--------+, NAME, SIGN, RATING, +------+-----------------------+--------+, A, The Good, 500, B, The Very very Bad Man, 288, C, The Ugly, 120, D, The Gopher, 800, +------+-----------------------+--------+
Example 2 - Without Border / Footer / Bulk Append
data := [][]string{
[]string{"1/1/2014", "Domain name", "2233", "$10.98"},
[]string{"1/1/2014", "January Hosting", "2233", "$54.95"},
[]string{"1/4/2014", "February Hosting", "2233", "$51.00"},
[]string{"1/4/2014", "February Extra Bandwidth", "2233", "$30.00"},
}
table := tablewriter.NewWriter(os.Stdout)
table.SetHeader([]string{"Date", "Description", "CV2", "Amount"})
table.SetFooter([]string{"", "", "Total", "$146.93"}) // Add Footer
table.SetBorder(false) // Set Border to false
table.AppendBulk(data) // Add Bulk Data
table.Render()
Output 2
DATE, DESCRIPTION, CV2, AMOUNT
-----------+--------------------------+-------+----------
1/1/2014, Domain name, 2233, $10.98

1/4/2014, February Hosting, 2233, $51.00
1/4/2014, February Extra Bandwidth, 2233, $30.00
-----------+--------------------------+-------+----------
TOTAL, $146 93
--------+----------
Example 3 - CSV
table, _ := tablewriter.NewCSV(os.Stdout, "testdata/test_info.csv", true)
table.SetAlignment(tablewriter.ALIGN_LEFT) // Set Alignment
table.Render()
Output 3
+----------+--------------+------+-----+---------+----------------+, FIELD, TYPE, NULL, KEY, DEFAULT, EXTRA, +----------+--------------+------+-----+---------+----------------+, user_id, smallint(5), NO, PRI, NULL, auto_increment, username, varchar(10), NO, NULL, password, varchar(100), NO, NULL, +----------+--------------+------+-----+---------+----------------+

table, _ := tablewriter.NewCSV(os.Stdout, "testdata/test.csv", true)
table.SetRowLine(true) // Enable row line
// Change table lines
table.SetCenterSeparator("*")
table.SetColumnSeparator("╪")
table.SetRowSeparator("-")
table.SetAlignment(tablewriter.ALIGN_LEFT)
table.Render()

Render table into a string
Instead of rendering the table to io.Stdout you can also render it into a string. Go 1.10 introduced the strings.Builder type which implements the io.Writer interface and can therefore be used for this task. Example:
package main
import (
"strings"
"fmt"
"github.com/olekukonko/tablewriter"
)
func main() {
tableString := &strings.Builder{}
table := tablewriter.NewWriter(tableString)
/*
* Code to fill the table
*/
table.Render()
fmt.Println(tableString.String())
}
