Constructor Detail

def self.new(output : IO, maxwidth = 79, newline = "\n", indent = 0) #

Creates a new pretty printer that will write to the given output and be capped at maxwidth.

Class Method Detail

def self.format(obj, io : IO, width : Int32, newline = "\n", indent = 0) #

Pretty prints obj into io with the given width as a limit and starting with the given indentation.


[View source]
def self.format(io : IO, width : Int32, newline = "\n", indent = 0, &) #

Creates a pretty printer and yields it to the block, appending any output to the given io.

Instance Method Detail

def breakable(sep = " ") #

Appends an element that can turn into a newline if necessary.


[View source]
def comma #

Same as:

text ","
breakable

[View source]
def fill_breakable(sep = " ") #

Similar to #breakable except the decision to break or not is determined individually.


[View source]
def flush #

Outputs any buffered data.


[View source]
def group(indent = 0, open_obj = "", close_obj = "", &) #

Creates a group of objects. Inside a group all breakable objects are either turned into newlines or are output as is, depending on the available width.


[View source]
def list(left, elements, right, &) : Nil #

Appends a list of elements surrounded by left and right and separated by commas, yielding each element to the given block.


[View source]
def list(left, elements, right) : Nil #

Appends a list of elements surrounded by left and right and separated by commas.


[View source]
def nest(indent = 1, &) #

Increases the indentation for breakables inside the current group.


[View source]
def surround(left, right, left_break = "", right_break = "", &) : Nil #

Appends a group that is surrounded by the given left and right objects, and optionally is surrounded by the given breakable objects.


[View source]
def text(obj) #

Appends a text element.
