A simple string grid formatter library for crystal programming language.

Installation

1. Add the dependency to your shard.yml:

   dependencies:
     grid:
       github: Jeddi212/grid

2. Run shards install

Usage

require "grid"

grid = Grid.new("Rubys Crystals Emeralds Sapphires a b") # Create a new Grid instance

grid.auto(18, true) # generate top-down grid with 18 char as max canvas width
grid.to_s(true) # get the string format (true) in top-down direction
# Rubys    Sapphires
# Crystals a        
# Emeralds b        

grid.auto(18, false) # generate left-right grid with 18 char as max canvas width
grid.to_s(false) # get the string format (false) in left-right direction
# Rubys    Crystals 
# Emeralds Sapphires
# a        b

grid = Grid.new("Rubys Crystals Emeralds Sapphires a b", "|") # Create a new Grid instance with custom separator
grid.auto(18, true) # generate top-down grid with 18 char as max canvas width
grid.to_s(true, false) # get the string format (true) in top-down direction
#    Rubys|Sapphires
# Crystals|        a
# Emeralds|        b
