scribe
A library for pretty-printing tables of Elixir structs and maps with customizable styling and pagination.
What is scribe?
Scribe is an Elixir library that formats lists of maps and structs into readable ASCII tables, making it easier to inspect data in the console. It solves the problem of unreadable default Elixir printing for large collections, such as database query results, by providing a clean, tabular output.
Elixir developers working in IEx or console environments who need to visualize and inspect structured data like query results, logs, or collections of maps and structs.
Developers choose Scribe for its simplicity and flexibility, offering automatic table generation with minimal configuration while supporting extensive customization like column selection, multiple styling formats, and pagination for large datasets.
