Color Your Life
Synopsis
This Rust crate provides a trait-based, std::fmt::Display
-like architecture
that lets you color as well as format print your datastructure.
Usage
Add a dependency on this crate to your project's Cargo.toml
:
[dependencies]
color-your-life = "0.8.0"
We now can print e.g. strings:
use color_your_life::{Color, ColorDisplay, str::StrFormat};
// A piece of text to format and color.
let text = "Alice and Bob have a drink.";
// The sink can be any type `T: std::fmt::Write`, including e.g.
// `std::fmt::Formatter<'_>` used in the `std::fmt::Display` and
// `std::fmt::Debug` traits. Here, using a `String` is convenient.
let mut sink = String::with_capacity(1024);
// The trait `ColorDisplay<StrFormat>` is implemented for `&str`, so we can
// now call `text.color_fmt()`.
// The `text` is written to the `sink`, where the `&StrFormat` value provides
// a description of *how* to format the text, and in particular the `style_desc`
// field describes the color and style to be used.
text.color_fmt(&mut sink, &StrFormat {
indent: 0,
delimiter: "",
prefix: "",
style_desc: Some(StyleDesc {
color: Color::Red,
bold: true,
italic: false,
underline: true,
dimmed: false,
}),
})?;
let expected = format!("{}", Color::Red.bold().underline().paint(text));
assert_eq!(sink, expected);
Writing a user-defined impl ColorDisplay<F> for T
:
It is no coincidence that writing a ColorDisplay<F>
impl for a type works
a lot like writing an impl for std::fmt::Display
, or std::fmt::Debug
for
that same type.
It is intended to work a lot like them, as well as to make it easy
to implement e.g. std::fmt::Display
in terms of ColorDisplay<F>
.
The new bits, unsurprisingly, deal mostly with the style and coloring of data values:
use color_your_life::{Color, ColorDisplay, Format, StrFormat, StyleDesc};
/// A simple 2-line string. Indentation is managed for both lines at once.
struct TwoLineString {
line0: String,
line1: String,
}
impl ColorDisplay<TwoLineStringFormat> for TwoLineString {
fn color_fmt(
&self,
sink: &mut impl Write,
format: &TwoLineStringFormat,
) -> std::fmt::Result {
self.line0.as_str().color_fmt(sink, &StrFormat {
indent: format.indent, // override
..format.line0_format
})?;
for _ in 0..format.vertical_spacing {
writeln!(sink)?;
}
self.line1.as_str().color_fmt(sink, &StrFormat {
indent: format.indent, // override
..format.line1_format
})?;
Ok(())
}
}
// This types allows a user to describe how to style,
// color and format values of type `TwoLineString`:
struct TwoLineStringFormat {
/// The indentation of `self` as a whole. Overrides
/// `self::line0_format.indent` and `self::line1_format.indent`.
pub indent: u16,
/// The number of newlines to write between the 2 lines.
/// A value of:
/// - 0 means the lines will be concatenated
/// - 1 truly separates the 2 lines
/// - 2 writes 1 empty line between the 2 lines,
/// - etc
pub vertical_spacing: u8,
/// Describes how to format the first line
pub line0_format: StrFormat,
/// Describes how to format the second line
pub line1_format: StrFormat,
}
// The `Format` trait gives a user a standard way of creating
// colored as well as monochrome values of type `TwoLineString`.
impl Format for TwoLineStringFormat {
fn colored(indent: u16) -> Self {
Self {
indent,
vertical_spacing: 1,
line0_format: StrFormat::colored(indent),
line1_format: StrFormat::colored(indent),
}
}
fn monochrome(indent: u16) -> Self {
Self {
indent,
vertical_spacing: 1,
line0_format: StrFormat::monochrome(indent),
line1_format: StrFormat::monochrome(indent),
}
}
}
