Output Format

mani supports different output formats for tasks. By default it will use stream output, but it's possible to change this via the --output flag or specify it in the task spec.

The following output formats are available:

  • stream (default)

    TASK (1/2) [hello] ***********

    test | world
    test | bar

    TASK (2/2) [foo] ***********

    test | world
    test | bar
  • table

     Project  │ Hello │ Foo
    ──────────┼───────┼───────
    test │ world │ bar
    ──────────┼───────┼───────
    test-2 │ world │ bar
  • html

    <table class="">
    <thead>
    <tr>
    <th>project</th>
    <th>hello</th>
    <th>foo</th>
    </tr>
    </thead>
    <tbody>
    <tr>
    <td>test</td>
    <td>world</td>
    <td>bar</td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
    <td>test-2</td>
    <td>world</td>
    <td>bar</td>
    </tr>
    </tbody>
    </table>
  • markdown

    | project | hello | foo |
    | ------- | ----- | --- |
    | test | world | bar |
    | test-2 | world | bar |

Omit Empty Table Rows and Columns

Omit empty outputs using --omit-empty-rows and --omit-empty-columns flags or task spec. Works for tables, markdown and html formats.

See below for an example:

$ mani run cmd-1 cmd-2 -s project-1,project-2 -o table

Project │ Cmd-1 │ Cmd-2
──────────┼───────┼───────
test │ │
──────────┼───────┼───────
test-2 │ world │

$ mani run test -s project-1,project-2 -o table --omit-empty-rows --omit-empty-columns
