Creating Separators in the Laravel Command Table Console

In this article, we will explore how to create a separator in the command table console in Laravel.

Import Table and TableSeparator Classes

First, we need to import the Table and TableSeparator classes from package Symfony\Component\Console\Helper in our command file.

use Symfony\Component\Console\Helper\Table;
use Symfony\Component\Console\Helper\TableSeparator;

Retrieve Data from Database

Next, we retrieve the data from the database that we want to display in the form of a table. In this example, we will use the select function on the Content model and retrieve the title column from each row.

$contents = Content::select('title')->get()->toArray();

Table Object Initialization

After the data is successfully retrieved, the next step is to initialize the Table object and set headers on the table.

$table = new Table($this->output);
$table->setHeaders(['title']);

Looping Data and Add Separator

Then, we loop through the data and add it to the table. Here we use the conditional statement if to add TableSeparator to every row except the last row.

$lastIndex = count($contents) - 1;
foreach ($contents as $index => $content) {
    $table->addRow([$content['title']]);
    if ($index != $lastIndex) {
        $table->addRow(new TableSeparator());
    }
}

Render The Table

The last step is to display the table into the console using the render() method.

$table->render();

Maka, jika semua kode di implementasikan akan menjadi,

$contents = Content::select('title')->get()->toArray();

$table = new Table($this->output);

$table->setHeaders(['title']);

$lastIndex = count($contents) - 1;
foreach ($contents as $index => $content) {
    $table->addRow([$content['title']]);
    if ($index != $lastIndex) {
        $table->addRow(new TableSeparator());
    }
}

$table->render();
