        'Product Name' => 'A4Tech Mouse',
        'Price' => 100.00,
        'Quantity' => 10
    ]);

    $builder->setTitle('Product List');
    
    echo $builder->renderTable();
   

    // Show only some fields
    
    $builder->showColumns(['Order No', 'Product Name', 'Quantity']);
    
    echo $builder->renderTable();
    

Build table from objects

You can build table form any object that implements JsonSerializable interface.

<?php
    
    class Person implements \JsonSerializable 
    {
        private $name;
        
        private $age;
        
        public function __construct(string $name, int $age) {
            $this->name = $name;
            $this->age = $age;
        }
        
        public function jsonSerialize()
        {
            return [
                'name' => $this->name,
                'age' => $this->age
            ];
        }
    }
    
    $builder = new \AsciiTable\Builder();
    
    $builder->addRow(new Person('John', 25));
    $builder->addRow(new Person('Bill', 30));
    
    echo $builder->renderTable();
