Dart library for displaying tabular data in a visually appealing ASCII table format.
It converts a two-dimensional array of cells into a string with a text table.
Tabular is specifically designed to create tables in the Markdown format that GitHub understands.
The library is inspired by python's tabulate and pretty_table.
import 'package:tabular/tabular.dart';
var data = [
['Season', '#', 'Name', 'Days', 'Sun'],
['Winter', 1, 'January', 31, 94],
['Winter', 2, 'February', 28, 123],
['Spring', 3, 'March', 31, 42],
['Spring', 4, 'April', 30, 243],
['Spring', 5, 'May', 31, 5523],
['Summer', 6, 'June', 30, 11251],
['Summer', 7, 'July', 31, 17451],
['Summer', 8, 'August', 31, 18707],
['Autumn', 9, 'September', 30, 7025],
['Autumn', 10, 'October', 31, 5041],
['Autumn', 11, 'November', 30, 2302],
['Winter', 12, 'December', 31, 258],
];

Please be aware that dividers can make the table not conform to the Markdown standard.

In the same way, you can add Border.horizontal or Border.all. But it can
make the table not conform to the Markdown standard.
