Hi @tw1nk, thanks for the PR! I really like the feature. For such features, we have a dedicated package named putils. It contains utility function for PTerm, and we planned to include some methods for automatically filling tables via different input types (which your feature does). So if you could refactor your changes into the putils package (it's in the root of this repo) that would be awesome! Just create a new go file and name it table-from-struct-slice, which contains two methods:

TableFromStructSlice(tablePrinter, structSlice) pterm.TablePrinter // Accepts a customized table printer and adds data to it, then returns it.
DefaultTableFromStructSlice(tablePrinter, structSlice) pterm.TablePrinter // Uses the first method and feeds the default table printer into the first param and returns the table filled with your computed data.

Another quick note: You're committing from an email address which seems to be disconnected from your GitHub account. So those commits won't appear on your GitHub profile, and you won't be listed in our "Contributors" section. You can simply add your commit email to your GitHub account to link the commits, but you don't have to. :)

Thanks will do. You already had a utility method WithCSVReader which was why I added it to the normal table printer.

Regarding the email. thanks, i'll do that :D working from home and haven't setup my normal account on the work computer yet.

Hi @tw1nk, I have refactored the PR a little, and tested it. I would merge it, but could you please change the filename real quick? It has a typo in "from". I will merge it then :)
Thanks for contributing 🚀

And you don't need to update the putils readme, it will update itself, once it hits our CI-System 😉

LGTM! Thanks for contributing :)
