Border Color

[0xJWLabs]

Is there a way to change border color using hex? Thanks!

Try something like:

const Table = require('cli-table3');

const table = new Table({ style: { border: ['blue'] } });
table.push(['foo']);

console.log(table.toString());

Produces:

This isn't well documented because of how the documentation is generated (without color). The documentation shows removing the default grey border, but doesn't show setting a color.

"using hex"

I apologize, I overlooked this part of your question. I see now that setting a hex color does not work.

I don't see an obvious way. It would require customizing the "border chars" somewhat like: https://github.com/cli-table/cli-table3/blob/master/basic-usage.md#stylize-the-table-with-custom-border-characters

@speedytwenty I think using chalk or ansis isn’t really a good way right? since i saw there’s somehow a leftover of the ansi like let’s say

Hello @0xJWLabs,

I'm the author of ansis.

In the #354 PR I have added the support for hex code to allow using a truecolor in a table.

The proposal for new syntax:

style: { 
  border: ['hex(#FFD700)'], 
  head: ['hex(#FFA500)', 'bgHex(#3d239d)']
}
