✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

tabiew is a lightweight TUI application for viewing and querying tabular data files — think CSV, TSV, parquet, all of it. you open it up in your terminal and it just slays. 💅

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

okay here's the whole flag lineup, no skips, no shortcuts, iykyk 🔥

  • --multiparts <MULTIPARTS>... — paths that get opened and concatenated vertically. like stacking your fave fits on top of each other 🧚
  • -f, --format <FORMAT> — tells it what the input format is. if you don't say anything, it picks based on the file extension. the possible values are:
    • dsv
    • csv
    • tsv
    • parquet
    • jsonl
    • json
    • arrow
    • fwf
    • sqlite
    • excel
    • logfmt
    • avro
    • html
    • markdown
  • --sqlite-key <SQLITE_KEY> — sets the key for sqlite (only if it's required, bestie). 🔐
  • --no-header — use this when your input has no header row. rude of the file honestly.
  • --ignore-errors — ignores parsing errors while loading. it's giving "i don't see it so it didn't happen" 🙈
  • --infer-schema <INFER_SCHEMA> — picks the method for inferring the schema. default: safe. possible values:
    • no
    • fast
    • safe
  • --infer-datetimes — does extra processing to parse date and datetime columns. extra effort, but make it cute 🎀
  • --separator <SEPARATOR> — the character used as the field separator/delimiter while loading DSV files. default: ,
  • --quote-char <QUOTE_CHAR> — the character used to quote fields while loading DSV files. default: "
  • --widths <WIDTHS> — a comma-separated list of widths that sets the column widths for FWF files. default: (empty)
  • --separator-length <SEPARATOR_LENGTH> — the separator length for FWF files. default: 1
  • --no-flexible-width — sets strict column width restrictions for FWF files. strict queen behavior 👑
  • --truncate-ragged-lines — truncates ragged lines while reading the file ✂️
  • --infer-types <INFER_TYPES> — the types to infer for text-based files. default: int float
  • --no-type-inference — disables type inference, periodt.
  • --max-rows <MAX_ROWS> — limits how many rows get read from the input. applies to CSV/DSV/TSV, Parquet, JSON, JSON Lines, Arrow, and Avro files.
  • -h, --help — print help 💖
  • -V, --version — print version ⭐
  • [RESOURCES] — path(s) to the file(s) you wanna open. yes, plural, go off.
