Formatter in alloc::fmt - Rust (original) (raw)

pub struct Formatter<'a> { /* private fields */ }

Expand description

Configuration for formatting.

A Formatter represents various options related to formatting. Users do not construct Formatters directly; a mutable reference to one is passed to the fmt method of all formatting traits, like Debug and Display.

To interact with a Formatter, you’ll call various methods to change the various options related to formatting. For examples, please see the documentation of the methods defined on Formatter below.

🔬This is a nightly-only experimental API. (formatting_options #118117)

Creates a new formatter based on this one with given FormattingOptions.

§

1.0.0

Performs the correct padding for an integer which has already been emitted into a str. The str should not contain the sign for the integer, that will be added by this method.

§Arguments

• is_nonnegative - whether the original integer was either positive or zero.
• prefix - if the ‘#’ character (Alternate) is provided, this is the prefix to put in front of the number.
• buf - the byte array that the number has been formatted into

This function will correctly account for the flags provided as well as the minimum width. It will not take precision into account.

§Examples

use std::fmt;

struct Foo { nb: i32 }

impl Foo {
    fn new(nb: i32) -> Foo {
        Foo {
            nb,
        }
    }
}

impl fmt::Display for Foo {
    fn fmt(&self, formatter: &mut fmt::Formatter<'_>) -> fmt::Result {
        // We need to remove "-" from the number output.
        let tmp = self.nb.abs().to_string();

        formatter.pad_integral(self.nb >= 0, "Foo ", &tmp)
    }
}

assert_eq!(format!("{}", Foo::new(2)), "2");
assert_eq!(format!("{}", Foo::new(-1)), "-1");
assert_eq!(format!("{}", Foo::new(0)), "0");
assert_eq!(format!("{:#}", Foo::new(-1)), "-Foo 1");
assert_eq!(format!("{:0>#8}", Foo::new(-1)), "00-Foo 1");

1.0.0

Takes a string slice and emits it to the internal buffer after applying the relevant formatting flags specified.

The flags recognized for generic strings are:

• width - the minimum width of what to emit
• fill/align - what to emit and where to emit it if the string provided needs to be padded
• precision - the maximum length to emit, the string is truncated if it is longer than this length

Notably this function ignores the flag parameters.

§Examples

use std::fmt;

struct Foo;

impl fmt::Display for Foo {
    fn fmt(&self, formatter: &mut fmt::Formatter<'_>) -> fmt::Result {
        formatter.pad("Foo")
    }
}

assert_eq!(format!("{Foo:<4}"), "Foo ");
assert_eq!(format!("{Foo:0>4}"), "0Foo");

1.0.0

Writes some data to the underlying buffer contained within this formatter.

§Examples

use std::fmt;

struct Foo;

impl fmt::Display for Foo {
    fn fmt(&self, formatter: &mut fmt::Formatter<'_>) -> fmt::Result {
        formatter.write_str("Foo")
        // This is equivalent to:
        // write!(formatter, "Foo")
    }
}

assert_eq!(format!("{Foo}"), "Foo");
assert_eq!(format!("{Foo:0>8}"), "Foo");

1.0.0

Glue for usage of the write! macro with implementors of this trait.

This method should generally not be invoked manually, but rather through the write! macro itself.

Writes some formatted information into this instance.

§Examples

use std::fmt;

struct Foo(i32);

impl fmt::Display for Foo {
    fn fmt(&self, formatter: &mut fmt::Formatter<'_>) -> fmt::Result {
        formatter.write_fmt(format_args!("Foo {}", self.0))
    }
}

assert_eq!(format!("{}", Foo(-1)), "Foo -1");
assert_eq!(format!("{:0>8}", Foo(2)), "Foo 2");

1.0.0

👎Deprecated since 1.24.0: use the sign_plus, sign_minus, alternate, or sign_aware_zero_pad methods instead

Returns flags for formatting.

1.5.0

Returns the character used as ‘fill’ whenever there is alignment.

§Examples

use std::fmt;

struct Foo;

impl fmt::Display for Foo {
    fn fmt(&self, formatter: &mut fmt::Formatter<'_>) -> fmt::Result {
        let c = formatter.fill();
        if let Some(width) = formatter.width() {
            for _ in 0..width {
                write!(formatter, "{c}")?;
            }
            Ok(())
        } else {
            write!(formatter, "{c}")
        }
    }
}

// We set alignment to the right with ">".
assert_eq!(format!("{Foo:G>3}"), "GGG");
assert_eq!(format!("{Foo:t>6}"), "tttttt");

1.28.0

Returns a flag indicating what form of alignment was requested.

§Examples

use std::fmt::{self, Alignment};

struct Foo;

impl fmt::Display for Foo {
    fn fmt(&self, formatter: &mut fmt::Formatter<'_>) -> fmt::Result {
        let s = if let Some(s) = formatter.align() {
            match s {
                Alignment::Left    => "left",
                Alignment::Right   => "right",
                Alignment::Center  => "center",
            }
        } else {
            "into the void"
        };
        write!(formatter, "{s}")
    }
}

assert_eq!(format!("{Foo:<}"), "left");
assert_eq!(format!("{Foo:>}"), "right");
assert_eq!(format!("{Foo:^}"), "center");
assert_eq!(format!("{Foo}"), "into the void");

            // If we received a width, we use it
            write!(formatter, "{:width$}", format!("Foo({})", self.0), width = width)
        } else {
            // Otherwise we do nothing special
            write!(formatter, "Foo({})", self.0)

            // If we received a precision, we use it.
            write!(formatter, "Foo({1:.*})", precision, self.0)
        } else {
            // Otherwise we default to 2.
            write!(formatter, "Foo({:.2})", self.0)
        }

struct Foo {
    bar: i32,
    baz: String,
    addr: Ipv4Addr,
}

impl fmt::Debug for Foo {

            .finish()
    }
}

assert_eq!(
    "Foo { bar: 10, baz: \"Hello World\", addr: 127.0.0.1 }",
    format!("{:?}", Foo {
        bar: 10,

        fmt.debug_tuple("Foo")
            .field(&self.0)
            .field(&self.1)
            .field(&format_args!("_"))
            .finish()

        fmt.debug_set().entries(self.0.iter()).finish()
    }
}

assert_eq!(format!("{:?}", Foo(vec![10, 11])), "{10, 11}");

In this more complex example, we use format_args! and .debug_set()to build a list of match arms:

use std::fmt;

struct Arm<'a, L, R>(&'a (L, R));
struct Table<'a, K, V>(&'a [(K, V)], V);

impl<'a, L, R> fmt::Debug for Arm<'a, L, R>
where
    L: 'a + fmt::Debug, R: 'a + fmt::Debug
{
    fn fmt(&self, fmt: &mut fmt::Formatter<'_>) -> fmt::Result {
        L::fmt(&(self.0).0, fmt)?;
        fmt.write_str(" => ")?;
        R::fmt(&(self.0).1, fmt)
    }
}

impl<'a, K, V> fmt::Debug for Table<'a, K, V>
where
    K: 'a + fmt::Debug, V: 'a + fmt::Debug
{
    fn fmt(&self, fmt: &mut fmt::Formatter<'_>) -> fmt::Result {
        fmt.debug_set()
        .entries(self.0.iter().map(Arm))
        .entry(&Arm(&(format_args!("_"), &self.1)))
        .finish()
    }
}

1.2.0

struct Foo(Vec<(String, i32)>);

impl fmt::Debug for Foo {
    fn fmt(&self, fmt: &mut fmt::Formatter<'_>) -> fmt::Result {
        fmt.debug_map().entries(self.0.iter().map(|&(ref k, ref v)| (k, v))).finish()
    }
}

assert_eq!(
    format!("{:?}",  Foo(vec![("A".to_string(), 10), ("B".to_string(), 11)])),
    r#"{"A": 10, "B": 11}"#
 );

🔬This is a nightly-only experimental API. (formatting_options #118117)

Returns the sign of this formatter (+ or -).
