I am using console.table in my program, test.js to display data but with no luck.

require('console.table');

var values = [
      ['max', 20],
      ['joe', 30]
];
console.table(['name', 'age'], values);

And when I run this app I get nothing on the screen

$ node test.js 
$

I have already installed console.table

$ npm install --save console.table
npm WARN [email protected] No description
npm WARN [email protected] No repository field.

$ node test.js

I am using Ubuntu 16.04, kindly advice.

Have you install console.table package or not.

If you didn't install then first install using

npm install --save console.table

Try this

require('console.table')
var values = [
      ['max', 20],
      ['joe', 30]
];
console.table(values);

This is my output

I am trying your script as well and I am getting result

Well for upper version of node.js you need not to install console.table if still you install you have to use console.table like as follows.

    delete console.table;
    require('console.table');

or

    require('console.table')({force: true})

This issue is not of console.table . Actually console.table does not work on version node 7+

version node 6.11

the output is this

and in version node 8.0

the output is

I have used a frame work called columnify - npm install columnify

const columnify = require('columnify');

//Connect to datbase (mypany) collection
        db.collection('employee').find({}, {projection:{_id:    0}}).toArray((err, allRecords) => {

            //Error checking
            if (err) {
            console.log('Error encontered!!!');
            } else {

            console.log(columnify(allRecords));


                process.exit(0);
            };


        });
