  [![Coverage Status](https://coveralls.io/repos/yargs/cliui/badge.svg?branch=)](https://coveralls.io/r/yargs/cliui?branch=)
  [![NPM version](https://img.shields.io/npm/v/cliui.svg)](https://www.npmjs.com/package/cliui)

  easily create complex multi-column command-line-interfaces.
  
  ## Example
  
  ```js
  var ui = require('cliui')({
    width: 80
  })
  
  ui.div('Usage: $0 [command] [options]')
  
  ui.div({
    text: 'Options:',
    padding: [2, 0, 2, 0]
  })
  
  ui.div(
    {
      text: "-f, --file",
      width: 20,
      padding: [0, 4, 0, 4]
    },
    {
      text: "the file to load." +
        chalk.green("(if this description is long it wraps).")
      ,
      width: 20
    },
    {
      text: chalk.red("[required]"),
      align: 'right'
    }
  )
  
  console.log(ui.toString())
  ```

  ## Layout DSL
  
  cliui exposes a simple layout DSL:
  
  If you create a single `ui.row`, passing a string rather than an
  object:
  
  * `\n`: characters will be interpreted as new rows.
  * `\t`: characters will be interpreted as new columns.
  * `\s`: characters will be interpreted as padding.
  
  **as an example...**
  
  ```js
  var ui = require('./')({
    width: 60
  })
  
  ui.div(
    'Usage: node ./bin/foo.js\n' +
    '  <regex>\t  provide a regex\n' +
    '  <glob>\t  provide a glob\t [required]'
  )
  
  console.log(ui.toString())
  ```
  
  **will output:**
  
  ```shell
  Usage: node ./bin/foo.js
    <regex>  provide a regex
    <glob>   provide a glob          [required]
  ```
  
  ## Methods
  
  ```js
  cliui = require('cliui')
  ```
  
  ### cliui({width: integer})
  
  Specify the maximum width of the UI being generated.
  
  ### cliui({wrap: boolean})
  
  Enable or disable the wrapping of text in a column.
  
  ### cliui.div(column, column, column)
  
  Create a row with any number of columns, a column
  can either be a string, or an object with the following
  options:
  
  * **width:** the width of a column.
  * **align:** alignment, `right` or `center`.
  * **padding:** `[top, right, bottom, left]`.
  * **border:** should a border be placed around the div?
  
  ### cliui.span(column, column, column)
  
  Similar to `div`, except the next row will be appended without
  a new line being created.
