I wrote a version that can parse through a list of objects dynamically to create the table as a string  I split it into three functions for writing the header columns  the body rows  and stitching it all together  I exported as a string for use on a server  My code uses template strings to keep things elegant    If you want to add styling  like bootstrap   that can be done by adding more html to HEAD PREFIX and HEAD SUFFIX      helper functions const TABLE PREFIX     lt div gt  lt table class  tg  gt    const TABLE SUFFIX     lt  table gt  lt  div gt    const TABLE HEAD PREFIX     lt thead gt  lt tr gt    const TABLE HEAD SUFFIX     lt  tr gt  lt  thead gt    const TABLE BODY PREFIX     lt tbody gt  lt tr gt    const TABLE BODY SUFFIX     lt  tr gt  lt  tbody gt     function generateTableHead cols      return         TABLE HEAD PREFIX         lt td gt   lt  td gt        cols map  col    gt    lt td gt   col  lt  td gt    join            TABLE HEAD SUFFIX       function generateTableBody cols  data      return         TABLE BODY PREFIX        data map  object  index    gt             lt tr gt  lt td gt   index  lt  td gt            cols map  col    gt    lt td gt   object col   lt  td gt    join             lt  tr gt    join            TABLE BODY SUFFIX              generate an html table from an array of objects with the same values        param  array lt string gt   cols array of object columns used in order of columns on table     param  array lt object gt   data array of objects containing data in a single depth     function generateTable data  defaultCols   false      let cols   defaultCols    if   cols  cols   Object keys data 0       auto generate columns if not defined   return         TABLE PREFIX        generateTableHead cols         generateTableBody cols  data         TABLE SUFFIX        Here s an example use   const mountains         height  200  name   Mt  Mountain         height  323  name   Old Broken Top      const htmlTableString   generateTable mountains
