Asciitable is a lightweight JavaScript library for generating ASCII tables. It offers a simple and intuitive API to structure tabular data from arrays or objects into readable, text-based tables. Key features include customizable column widths, alignment options (left, right, center), and the ability to define custom column headers. Ideal for displaying data in environments where graphical interfaces are unavailable or unsuitable, such as terminals and console applications.
The asciitable npm package saw its initial releases in March 2013, with 6 versions published. One additional version was released in May 2013. After May 2013, there have been no new version releases for over 12 years, up to August 31, 2025, indicating a period of inactivity.
Asciitable downloads show variability. Starting March 2024, downloads generally trended downwards until July but spiked in August and November. In 2025, numbers fluctuate, peaking in April, then decreasing but remaining relatively stable through August, this last month's data likely being incomplete.
