Consider alternatives for prettytable-rs #496
Description
Activity
Our table formatting code also isn't exactly complicated. I'd imagine we could probably roll our own relying mostly on
unicode-widthas the only necessary dependency.Reacted by Kyle WillmonIt looks like
prettytable-rshas found some maintenance help from the Rust team. The same developer approved the rustsec advisory and released a new version of the crate.That is definitely encouraging. But it's still probably worth rolling our own solution instead of relying on a dependency here.
The
prettytable-rscrate has not received any updates in nearly 4 years now and appears to be abandoned. It still works and doesn't seem to have any major issues, but it is already causing us to have some duplicate dependencies (such as theitoacrate) and will cause more over time.With a quick look around, I found
comfy-tableas a possible alternative, but there may be other options.
