MungerRender

This is where you take your nicely constructed MungerReport object and make it render into a useful format.

Right now there are only 2 renderers, but it’s pretty easy to write one, so more will come soon.

HTML

You can either use the Munger::Render.to_X form, like so:

html_table = Munger::Render.to_html(report)

Or you can do this:

html_table = Munger::Render::Html.new(report).render

That will give you html table text – also to note is that the table has the class ‘report-table’, every other TR has a ‘even’ / ‘odd’ class, and each grouping row TR has a ‘group0’, ‘group1’, ‘group2’, etc class. You can use those to style your table. You can also override the main table class like this:

html_table = Munger::Render.to_html(report, :classes => {:table => 'other-class'} )

Text

You can also get text based output like this:

puts text = Munger::Render.to_text(report)

Which is what I’ve been using through this tutorial, and looks like this:
