Full Documentation

Installation

dotnet add package Albatross.Text.CliFormat

Quick Start

using Albatross.Text.CliFormat;

var people = new[] {
    new { Name = "John", Age = 30 },
    new { Name = "Jane", Age = 25 }
};

// Auto-detect format (prints as table)
Console.Out.CliPrint(people);

// Format expressions
Console.Out.CliPrint(people, "table(value, Name)");      // Table with Name only
Console.Out.CliPrint(people, "csv(value)");              // CSV output
Console.Out.CliPrint(people, "json(value)");             // JSON output
Console.Out.CliPrint(people, "first(value)");            // First item

Operations Reference

Operation Example Description
table table(value, Col1, Col2) Tabular output with optional columns
csv / ccsv csv(value) CSV with/without headers
json json(value) JSON serialization
list list(value, Property) Key-value list format
first / last first(value) First/last element
subset subset(value, 0, 5) Extract range of items
property property(value, 'Name') Access object property
cproperty cproperty(value, Name) Extract property from each element
jsonpointer jsonpointer(value, /name) JSON pointer extraction

Chaining Operations

Operations can be chained - inner operations execute first:

// Table of first 3 items with specific columns
Console.Out.CliPrint(data, "table(subset(value, 0, 3), Name, Age)");

// CSV export of names only
Console.Out.CliPrint(data, "csv(value, FirstName, LastName)");

// JSON of nested property
Console.Out.CliPrint(contact, "json(property(value, 'Address'))");

Key Concepts

  • value is the built-in variable referring to your input data
  • Property names are case-sensitive in property() operations
  • JSON pointer uses camelCase property names (/firstName not /FirstName)
  • Customize table output via TableOptionFactory.Instance.Register()
