Table Helper
Table Helper¶
New in version 2.3: The table
helper was introduced in Symfony 2.3.
When building a console application it may be useful to display tabular data:

To display a table, use the Symfony\Component\Console\Helper\TableHelper
,
set headers, rows and render:
$table = $this->getHelper('table');
$table
->setHeaders(array('ISBN', 'Title', 'Author'))
->setRows(array(
array('99921-58-10-7', 'Divine Comedy', 'Dante Alighieri'),
array('9971-5-0210-0', 'A Tale of Two Cities', 'Charles Dickens'),
array('960-425-059-0', 'The Lord of the Rings', 'J. R. R. Tolkien'),
array('80-902734-1-6', 'And Then There Were None', 'Agatha Christie'),
))
;
$table->render($output);
The table layout can be customized as well. There are two ways to customize table rendering: using named layouts or by customizing rendering options.
Customize Table Layout using Named Layouts¶
New in version 2.4: The TableHelper::LAYOUT_COMPACT
layout was introduced in Symfony 2.4.
The Table helper ships with three preconfigured table layouts:
TableHelper::LAYOUT_DEFAULT
TableHelper::LAYOUT_BORDERLESS
TableHelper::LAYOUT_COMPACT
Layout can be set using setLayout()
method.
Customize Table Layout using Rendering Options¶
You can also control table rendering by setting custom rendering option values:
