cli-table is a Node.js library for rendering pretty unicode tables in the command line from JavaScript scripts. It supports customizable border characters, colors, column widths, text alignment, truncation, and padding.

Use cases

• print formatted tables in a node.js CLI script
• render unicode tables in terminal output
• display tabular data with custom column widths
• align and truncate text in CLI table columns
• draw vertical or cross tables for key-value output
• style CLI table headers with colors

When to choose

• you need attractive unicode table output in a Node.js command-line tool
• you want customizable table borders, alignment, and truncation
• you need a lightweight, well-established npm table library

When to avoid

• you are not working in Node.js or JavaScript
• you need rich text or markdown table rendering rather than terminal output
• you need interactive or scrollable tables rather than static printed output
