📺(tv) Tidy Viewer is a cross-platform CLI csv pretty printer that uses column styling to maximize viewer enjoyment.
--config-details or -C. This will allow users to see the current configuration of tv. This is useful for debugging. Here is an example of the output:> tidy-viewer -C
tv.toml
[+] delimiter = ","
[+] title = ""
[-] footer = None
[+] upper_column_width = 20
[+] lower_column_width = 2
[+] number = 35
[-] extend_width_length = None
[+] meta_color = [Integer(255), Integer(0), Integer(0)]
[+] header_color = [Integer(232), Integer(168), Integer(124)]
[+] std_color = [Integer(133), Integer(205), Integer(202)]
[+] na_color = [Integer(226), Integer(125), Integer(95)]
[-] neg_num_color = None
The [+] indicates that the values was found in the tv.toml file.
The [-] indicates that the value was not found in the tv.toml file and the default value was used.
tv.toml has had a long history of being buggy. This is because users must provide entries for every key. I removed this constraint. Now, if a key is not provided, the default value is used. This should make the tv.toml more user friendly. Thanks @winter-again for the bug report.--number of rows to output requires spaces between words instead of dashes. All other long form options use a dash to delimit words. Thanks @derekmahar for bug report.tv is 1 year old 🎉🥳🎉.
tv would not print remaining columns if the number of rows was less than n.Changed if rows_remaining > 0 to if rows_remaining > 0 || (cols - num_cols_to_print) > 0 as the
condition needed to get the footer to kick in.
Also, I was looking through the changelog and saw that I never gave credit to @burntsushi for holding my hand as I was starting this project 1 year ago. I had a vision for this CLI, but was struggling with some basics as I was learning Rust. Thank You!
Note: Yes, I know there are a lot of versions skipped! I was struggling with getting some automated builds for one of the releases. One quark is that builds are triggered with git tags. I used up a lot of git tags to test things out. Which reminds me, thanks @certifiedloud for making the most recent builds possible. I could not have done it without you.
This update was mainly focused on feature enhancements. I also did some clippy formatting.
I did not realize that I had the alignment wrong. I was doing left alignment, but it was brought to my attention that tibble uses right alignment.
This is now corrected. Thanks for the sharp eye @briandconnelly.
-n option doesn't work when combined with --extend-rows
This was a bug I was not aware of that I wanted to knock out. Thanks @atsalolikhin-spokeo for using this package and reporting the issue. Your report made the cli a little better.
As requested I implemented -R, --no-row-numbering for this functionality
As requested I implemented -D, --no-dimensions for this functionality
-e was added as an option I found that it was not overriding the -n argument. The fix was made with a simple if/else statement.It may seem odd to bump the version with such a small bug, but I did not want to have something in the help file that was not functional in the CLI.
-e flag to extend rows (don't truncate).This new version gives a flag option to extend rows rather than truncate. This is especially useful for wide csv files that would overflow the terminal width. When using the extend mode, pipe output to less -S to enables scrolling right and left with arrow keys.
I also did some clean up work. I removed a binary I was not using.
I was not aware of this until @ismaelgv opened the issue. less -R and bat -p can do color comprehension. In previous versions of tv we just stripped the color if the output was piped to programs like less. Now the user can override this behavior with a -a flag.
We made it!! Version #1!!
Technically it is version 1.4.2. The 42 is a homage to Geek culture.
What makes this release version 1? My view is that version 1 should encapsulate the original vision of the software. The features of the current package is what I imagined when I started drawing up the project. Of course, as I have continued to work on the package I have found many additional enhancements. Also, if it were not for users of the software I would not have had additional feedback which has improved on this package tremendously. I will continue to work on enhancements. There are currently a list of issues I plan to address. I will also address bugs as they are reported. A special thanks goes to all of the contributors. Not only has tv been improved by smart contributors, but my own learning experience has been enhanced. Thank you!

Along with these new features came additional tests.
Since PR #98 was a aesthetic change it was also added as an additional parameter to be tweaked with a config file.

The version number jump was due to testing out github actions on automated releases using git tags as the release name. It took a few tries to get right.
