table show_footer?

[hemna]

How do I add content to the footer row of a table?

from rich.console import Console
from rich.table import Table

table = Table(title="Star Wars Movies", show_footer=True)

table.add_column("Released", style="cyan", no_wrap=True)
table.add_column("Title", style="magenta")
table.add_column("Box Office", justify="right", style="green")

table.add_row("Dec 20, 2019", "Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker", "$952,110,690")
table.add_row("May 25, 2018", "Solo: A Star Wars Story", "$393,151,347")
table.add_row("Dec 15, 2017", "Star Wars Ep. V111: The Last Jedi", "$1,332,539,889")
table.add_row("Dec 16, 2016", "Rogue One: A Star Wars Story", "$1,332,439,889")

console = Console()
console.print(table, justify="center")

Second arg in add_column

ok thanks, that does work.

The problem with it is if I'm trying to show totals in the footer, which I Would think might be common, then I have to iterate to build the totals prior to iterating over the fields to call add_row(), since the footer (total values) have to be added at the time of adding the columns, which is prior to adding the rows.

It would be nicer if there was a way to say,
table.add_footer(col1, col2, col3).

table = Table(title="Star Wars Movies", show_footer=True)

# we haven't iterated over the movies list yet, so we don't know
# the totals we want to show in the footer yet!!
table.add_column("Released", style="cyan", no_wrap=True)
table.add_column("Title", style="magenta")
table.add_column("Box Office", justify="right", style="green")

# Normally this would be a loop over a list or dictionary to add the values
for movie in movies:
   table.add_row(movie["date"], movie["name"], movie["profit"])
   total_profit += movie["profit"]
   movie_range = magic_movie_date_range_func(movie["date"])

# since we already iterated over the movie list, we created the date range for all the movies
# and the profit totals, so let's just shove those in the footer row.
table.add_footer(movie_range, None, total_profit)

console = Console()
console.print(table, justify="center")

This would be awesome... just realising this isn't a thing:(
