Display Styles

Learn how to display your data in different formats using Show() options.

Default Style

The basic Show() displays data in a formatted table:

type Product struct {
    Name  string
    Price float64
    Stock int
}

products := []Product{
    {"Laptop", 999.99, 15},
    {"Mouse", 29.99, 50},
    {"Keyboard", 79.99, 30},
}

plygo.From(products).Show()

Result

+----------+--------+-------+
|     Name |  Price | Stock |
+----------+--------+-------+
| Laptop   | 999.99 |    15 |
| Mouse    |  29.99 |    50 |
| Keyboard |  79.99 |    30 |
+----------+--------+-------+
[3 rows × 3 columns]

Markdown Style

Use WithStyle("markdown") for markdown-formatted tables:

products := []Product{
    {"Laptop", 999.99, 15},
    {"Mouse", 29.99, 50},
    {"Keyboard", 79.99, 30},
}

plygo.From(products).Show(plygo.WithStyle("markdown"))

Result

|----------|--------|-------|
|     Name |  Price | Stock |
|----------|--------|-------|
| Laptop   | 999.99 |    15 |
| Mouse    |  29.99 |    50 |
| Keyboard |  79.99 |    30 |
|----------|--------|-------|
[3 rows × 3 columns]

Custom Options

Combine multiple options for customized output:

products := []Product{
    {"Laptop", 999.99, 15},
    {"Mouse", 29.99, 50},
    {"Keyboard", 79.99, 30},
}

plygo.From(products).Show(
    plygo.WithTitle("Product Inventory"),
    plygo.WithRowNumbers(true),
    plygo.WithFloatPrecision(2),
)

Result
