About:
TidyViewer (tv) is a command-line CSV file pretty printer that formats raw CSV data into a visually appealing, easy-to-read table directly in the terminal. It automatically detects data types and adjusts column widths to maximize readability without requiring manual configuration. This tool significantly enhances data inspection workflows for developers and data analysts by making raw data exploration faster and more intuitive.
Key Features:
  • Automatic column width optimization and type detection
  • Colorized output for improved readability
  • Zero-configuration required for immediate use
  • Lightweight and fast performance
Use Cases:
  • Quickly inspecting CSV exports from databases or APIs in the terminal
  • Analyzing log files or data dumps that are formatted as CSV
  • Sharing formatted data snapshots in terminal sessions or logs
Alternatives:
  • csvkit – More comprehensive suite of CSV tools, but heavier and requires more setup
  • column -t – Standard Unix utility for table formatting, but lacks color and smart type detection
