# Table Beautifier

An Obsidian plugin that converts ASCII and Unicode box-drawing tables into Markdown tables.

Useful when pasting terminal output from CLI tools like Claude Code, Docker, psql, MySQL, and others that render tables with box-drawing characters.

## Before

```
┌──────────────────┬───────────────────────┐
│       Code       │      Description      │
├──────────────────┼───────────────────────┤
│ MyClass          │ This is my class      │
├──────────────────┼───────────────────────┤
│ YourClass        │ This is your class    │
└──────────────────┴───────────────────────┘
```

## After

| Code        | Description        |
| ----------- | ------------------ |
| `MyClass`   | This is my class   |
| `YourClass` | This is your class |

## Usage

1. Select the table text in the editor
2. Right-click and choose **Convert table to Markdown**, or
3. Open the command palette (`Cmd+P`) and run **Table Beautifier: Convert table to Markdown**

The context menu item only appears when the selection contains table-like characters.

## Supported Formats

- Unicode box-drawing tables (`┌ ─ ┬ ┐ │ ├ ┼ ┤ └ ┴ ┘`)
- ASCII tables (`+ - | =`)

## Features

- Columns are padded for visual alignment
- Values that look like code identifiers (`PascalCase`, `snake_case`, `dot.notation`) are wrapped in backticks

## Development

```sh
npm install
npm run build
npm test
```

To develop with live reload, run `npm run dev` and symlink the plugin directory into your vault:

```sh
ln -s /path/to/obsidian-table-beautifier /path/to/vault/.obsidian/plugins/table-beautifier
```

## Installation

Copy `main.js` and `manifest.json` into your vault's `.obsidian/plugins/table-beautifier/` directory, then enable the plugin in Settings.

## Releasing

1. Bump `version` in `manifest.json` and `package.json` (semver, e.g. `1.0.1`).
2. Commit the bump:

   ```sh
   git commit -am "chore: release 1.0.1"
   ```

3. Build and tag. The tag must match `manifest.json` `version` exactly — no `v` prefix:

   ```sh
   npm run build
   git tag 1.0.1
   git push origin main 1.0.1
   ```

4. Create a GitHub release at the tag and attach `main.js` and `manifest.json` as individual asset files (not zipped).
