How to use it ?

• First you have to download the jar file from this repo and place it in the project file.
• After that you have to add that jar file as a dependencies into your project
• then create an object for the TableBuilder

TableBuilder tb = new TableBuilder();

You now have many methods that can be called to make tables as to your wish.

Remember

• Different TableBuilder methods have different requirements.Like

tb.ListAll(OneDirectionalArray);

Likewise, the following are all method available in TableBuilder class and their parameters :

ListAll method

//method
tb.ListAll(OneDirectionalArray);

//Example
        
        String[] OneDirectionalArray=
        {
        "Some secret message",
        "Some important message",
        "Some decoy message?"
        };
//        ListAll method being called 
        tb.ListAll(OneDirectionalArray);
        

Which makes the table look like :

    ==================================
    ┃     Some secret message        ┃
    ┃     Some important message     ┃
    ┃     Some decoy message?        ┃
    ==================================

ListAllWithID method

   //method
tb.ListAllWithID(OneDirectionalArray);

//Example

        String[] OneDirectionalArray=
        {
        "Some secret message",
        "Some important message",
        "Some decoy message?"
        };
//        ListAllWithID method being called 
        tb.ListAllWithID(OneDirectionalArray);

Which makes the table look like :

  =====================================
  ┃     1. Some secret message        ┃
  ┃     2. Some important message     ┃
  ┃     3. Some decoy message?        ┃
  =====================================

ListAllWithHeader method

//method
tb.ListAllWithHeader(OneDirectionalArray,HeaderName);

//Example

        String[] OneDirectionalArray=
        {
        "Some secret message",
        "Some important message",
        "Some decoy message?"
        };
//        ListAllWithHeader method being called 
        tb.ListAllWithHeader(OneDirectionalArray,HeaderName);

Which makes the table look like :

==================================
┃     Some Important Header      ┃
==================================
┃     Some secret message        ┃
┃     Some important message     ┃
┃     Some decoy message?        ┃
==================================

TwoColumnTable method

//method
tb.TwoColumnTable(HashMap_Returning_String_String,ColumnOneHeader,ColumnTwoHeader);

//Example

        HashMap<String,String> HashedData =new HashMap<>();
        HashedData.put("useful message","The description that is to be conveyed");
        HashedData.put("useful Tips","How to use that tip !!");
        HashedData.put("secret Code","KJHj JLKJLK JkLD");
        
//        TwoColumnTable method being called
        tb.TwoColumnTable(HashedData,"Some indexing","Some Description");
        

Which makes the table look like :

===========================================================================
┃     Some indexing      ┃     Some Description                           ┃

        HashedData.put("secret Code","KJHj JLKJLK JkLD");
        
//        TwoColumnTableWithID method being called
        tb.TwoColumnTableWithID(HashedData,"Some indexing","Some Description");

Which makes the table look like :

================================================================================
┃          Some indexing      ┃     Some Description                           ┃
