| foob- | yadayaday- |
| arbaz | ada        |
'-------+------------'

my $t2 = Text::SimpleTable->new([5, 'Foo'], [10, 'Bar']);
$t2->row('foobarbaz', 'yadayadayada');
$t2->row('barbarbarbarbar', 'yada');
print $t2->draw;

.-------+------------.

+-------+------------+
| foob- | yadayaday- |
| arbaz | ada        |
| barb- | yada       |
| arba- |            |
| rbar- |            |
| bar   |            |
'-------+------------'

my $t3 = Text::SimpleTable->new([5, 'Foo'], [10, 'Bar']);
$t3->row('foobarbaz', 'yadayadayada');
$t3->hr;
$t3->row('barbarbarbarbar', 'yada');
print $t3->draw;

│ arbaz │ ada        │
├───────┼────────────┤
│ barb- │ yada       │
│ arba- │            │
│ rbar- │            │

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

Simple eyecandy ASCII tables. that's it, that's the vibe. eyecandy, literally. ✨

---

👑 METHODS 👑

Text::SimpleTable implements the following methods. slay.

💖 new

my $t = Text::SimpleTable->new(5, 10);
my $t = Text::SimpleTable->new([5, 'Col1', 10, 'Col2']);

💖 draw

my $ascii = $t->draw;

💖 hr

$t = $t->hr;

💖 row

$t = $t->row('col1 data', 'col2 data');

💖 boxes

$t = $t->boxes;

boxes switches the output generated by draw to use the unicode box drawing characters. The last example above may not render nicely on some devices. 😭

heads up bestie: those pretty box-drawing glyphs are not guaranteed to look right everywhere — some devices just fumble them. it's giving tragic, but that's what the docs say. 🫶
