Allow renaming of headers in display_table about formatador HOT 6 CLOSED

Hmm. I think I'd be ok with something like this, but the second argument is already used for limiting the fields including (and is an array). So we probably shouldn't just replace it with a hash. Maybe we could do it where each thing in that array can be a string to just include the key or a one keypair hash to remap it. So your example would be like:

Formatador.display_table(table_data, [{"name": "Name"}, {"meal.drink": "Drink"}])

What do you think? Thanks!

I wasn't suggesting replacing that argument. I was just suggesting allowing either a hash or array to be passed. Although your suggestion of an array of hashes works as well :)

from formatador.

AH. Yeah, that makes sense. I think maybe I would prefer array or hash (vs array of hashes) in that case. Array of hashes is weird...

from formatador.

However, is the order if iteration over key-value pairs in hashes defined in Ruby? If not and you use a hash (instead of an array of hashes) then you lose the ability to reliably define the order of output fields.

from formatador.

Ah, yeah, good call. hash keys are not ordered, so perhaps array-of-hashes is worthwhile after all. It has the added side-benefit that you can more simply include the non-translated keys too.
