mdhost

Runs eshost, displays the table output in the terminal, and generates a Markdown table of a few of the results (JavaScriptCore, SpiderMonkey, and V8), copying it to your clipboard.

Install via RubyGems:

gem install mdhost

Given a single input, mdhost will output the table from eshost -t to your terminal, and will copy to your clipboard a markdown code block containing the relevant eshost command, followed by a markdown table of the results. For example, running this:

mdhost 'Date.parse("0")'

Will output the following markdown to your clipboard:

> eshost -te 'Date.parse("0")'

You can have multiple unrelated inputs at once, and a more complex table will be generated. For example, running this:

mdhost '"hello"' "42"

Will output the following markdown to your clipboard:

If you have multiple similar inputs, for example arguments to a function, you can format them into a string passed into the --format or -f parameter. The substring #{} in the format string will be replaced by each of the multiple arguments that follow and arranged into a table. For example, running this:

mdhost -f 'Date.parse("#{}")' "1970-01-01" "Thu 1970-01-01" "Thu Jan.01.1970"

Will output the following markdown to your clipboard:

You can also use the --table-format or -t parameter to specify a different format string for the "Input" column of the table. For example, if you wanted the inputs to the function in the previous example to simply be displayed surrounded by quotation marks, you could run:

mdhost -f 'Date.parse("#{}")' -t '"#{}"' "1970-01-01" "Thu 1970-01-01" "Thu Jan.01.1970"
Date.parse("1970-01-01")

And the following markdown would be output to your clipboard:
