SCala AUto TABLE

Auto-magically generate html tables from case classes

Elevator Pitch

Insta-auto-magically generate a scalatags table from a Seq[A] (case classes).

with scala-cli

//> using lib "io.github.quafadas::scautable:0.0.5"
@main def testThis =
  import scautable.{*,given}
  case class Easy(s: String, d: Double)
  println(scautable(Seq(Easy("thing", 1.2)))).toString()

Desktop

Pimp your html table with https://datatables.net

Almond

Scala JS

It cross compiles, and gives you back a scalatags table

Infrequently Asked Questions

Is this project a good idea

Unclear. But I wanted to play with Mirrors.

And have a "real" library to test build cross building stuff, GHA etc on.

How does it work

I aggressively copy pasted everything from here and poked it with a sharp stick until it did what I wanted. https://blog.philipp-martini.de/blog/magic-mirror-scala3/

Limitations

See tests;

• Formatting is implied by the type. To format your own types, you'll need to write a given for it.
• Extension is through the type system, have a look at the JVM tests for an example if writing a given for your own custom type
• As I don't really understand how it works, it's unlikely to get extended further...
• Extending it further is probably a really bad idea anyway
