Tabular #
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],

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.
