Minimal format but with spaces between the columns #34
Description
I like the minimal format, except I find the solid bar for the headers to be difficult to parse the columns.
DefaultString DefaultInt32 HiddenString
----------------------------------------
Row 1 1 Hidden 1
Row 2 10 Hidden 2
Row 3 100 Hidden 3
So, I thought I would try to make a version that had spaces in it:
.WithHeaderCharMapDefinition(
new Dictionary<HeaderCharMapPositions, char>
{
{ HeaderCharMapPositions.BottomCenter, ' ' },
{ HeaderCharMapPositions.Divider, ' ' },
{ HeaderCharMapPositions.BorderBottom, '-' },
})
But what I found was if both BottomCenter and Divider are spaces (' '), then the space is collapsed between the two of them which squishes the columns together. I ended up needing to put something between the two to make it work:
.WithCharMapDefinition(
new Dictionary<CharMapPositions, char>
{
{ CharMapPositions.DividerY, ' ' },
})
.WithHeaderCharMapDefinition(
new Dictionary<HeaderCharMapPositions, char>
{
{ HeaderCharMapPositions.BottomCenter, '+' },
{ HeaderCharMapPositions.Divider, ' ' },
{ HeaderCharMapPositions.BorderBottom, '-' },
});
This produces a table like this:
DefaultString DefaultInt32 HiddenString
---------------+--------------+--------------
Row 1 1 Hidden 1
Row 2 10 Hidden 2
Row 3 100 Hidden 3
Adding that adds extra columns to the right and left of the headers, which isn't ideal but workable. But, being able to have spaces between the columns would be greatly appreciated. Is there a way of doing that?

Not sure I understand your question, are you asking about 2 bellow char
you can set column padding (space left and right of column) using
WithPaddingLeftandWithPaddingRightanother option I think you can config Header Char Map for
TopLeft, ``BorderLeft,BottomLeftand `TopRight`, `BorderRight`, and `BottomRight` to empty string using `.WithHeaderCharMapDefinition`dmoonfire commentedon Sep 12, 2021
Thank you, that covers one of the two questions. The other is the space divider between columns without having padding. In a unit test, this is what I expected would work but didn't.
It appears that when I have this:
It collapses the divider space entirely instead of giving me a blank line. So I get this divider:
If I change the above BottomCenter to
'+', I still get the divider space:I would like to know how I could get that unit test output (I might be off on the dashes though on the header).

It's because it has fallback from
CharMapDefinition, but char onCharMapDefinitionis emptyI will try to open a toggle to block the fallback
