Adding vertical line and left brackate in array

Question

I want to display my content like in image. I have considered array for this. Let me know if is there any better option for this.

\textbf {accesslog : } \textcolor{red}{ Array } 

   \begin{tabular}{ | l  c  r }

    date: & string & Data - da ocorrência. \\
    ObjectId: & Usuário - & que executou. \\
    action: & String - & Ação Executada.  \\ \\

    date: & string & Data - da ocorrência. \\
    ObjectId: & Usuário - & que executou. \\
    action: & String - & Ação Executada

    \end{tabular}

Currently it looks as here : https://www.sharelatex.com/project/53915feaeef2f99941486f56?r=380e068e&rs=ps&rm=d

Content should look like:

IS there any other possible way to show content like this?

Answer 1

May be you needn't any tabular, if I see the picture well.

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{color}
\def\red#1{{\color{red}#1}}
\begin{document}

$$
\left(\vcenter{
  \hbox{$\left\{\
      \vcenter{\parindent=0pt
         \hbox{\textbf{date}: \red{string}  Data -- da ocorrncia.}
         \hbox{\textbf{ObjectId}: \red{Usuário} --  que executou.}
         \hbox{\textbf{action}: \red{String} --  Aço Executada.}
   }\right.$}
   \bigskip
   \hbox{$\left\{\
      \vcenter{\parindent=0pt
         \hbox{\textbf{date}: \red{string}  Data -- da ocorrncia.}
         \hbox{\textbf{ObjectId}: \red{Usuário} --  que executou.}
         \hbox{\textbf{action}: \red{String} --  Aço Executada.}
   }\right.$}
}\right.
$$

\end{document}

Answer 2

Here is a LaTeX solution, using the blkarray package. As you seem to declare programming variables and their type, I defined a \variable command, that takes as single argument the variable name and its type, separated by a colon, so as to have a syntax a close as possible from natural writing. It types the whole as you require (variable name in boldface, type in red), and if you forget the type, it types only the variable name. It requires the xparse package.

If you prefer a traditional syntax, the preamble contains another (commented) definition of \variable with 2 arguments.

\documentclass{article}

\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}

\usepackage[a4paper, total={6in, 8in}]{geometry}

\setlength\parindent{0pt}
\usepackage[x11names]{xcolor}
\usepackage{array}
\usepackage{mathtools}

\usepackage{blkarray}
\usepackage{xparse}

%\newcommand*\variable[2]{\textbf{#1} : \textcolor{red}{#2}}

\NewDocumentCommand{\variable}{>{\SplitArgument{1}{:}}m}
{\varargsaux#1}
\NewDocumentCommand{\varargsaux}{mm}
{\IfNoValueTF{#2}{\textbf{#1}}{\textbf{#1}{ : }\textcolor{red}{#2}}}

\def\thickvrule{\vrule width 0.9pt}

\begin{document}

\begin{tabular}{ >{\sffamily}c}
\begin{blockarray}{rcl}%
 \begin{block}{>{\mbox{}}r!{\thickvrule}c@{\enspace}\{l}
 \variable{accesslog : Array}
& & \variable{date : string} -- Data da ocorrência. \\
& & \variable{ObjectId : Usuário} -- que executou. \\
 & & \variable{action : String} -- Ação Executada.\\
\end{block}
\begin{block}{>{\mbox{}}r!{\thickvrule}c@{\enspace}\{l}
& & \variable{date : string} -- Data da ocorrência. \\
& & \variable{ObjectId : Usuário} -- que executou. \\
& & \variable{action : String} -- Ação Executada.\\
\end{block}
\end{blockarray}
\end{tabular}

\end{document}
