Overview
This class implements a pretty printing algorithm. It finds line breaks and nice indentations for grouped structure.

Defined in:
pretty_print.crConstructors
-
.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 Summary
-
.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.
-
.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 Summary
-
#breakable(sep = " ")
Appends an element that can turn into a newline if necessary.
-
#comma
Same as:
-
#fill_breakable(sep = " ")
Similar to
#breakable
except the decision to break or not is determined individually. -
#flush
Outputs any buffered data.
-
#group(indent = 0, open_obj = "", close_obj = "", &)
Creates a group of objects.
-
#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.
-
#list(left, elements, right) : Nil
Appends a list of elements surrounded by left and right and separated by commas.
-
#nest(indent = 1, &)
Increases the indentation for breakables inside the current group.
-
#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.
-
#text(obj)
Appends a text element.

Constructor Detail
Creates a new pretty printer that will write to the given output and be capped at maxwidth.
Class Method Detail
Pretty prints obj into io with the given width as a limit and starting with the given indentation.
Creates a pretty printer and yields it to the block, appending any output to the given io.
Instance Method Detail
Similar to #breakable
except
the decision to break or not is determined individually.
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.
Appends a list of elements surrounded by left and right and separated by commas, yielding each element to the given block.
Appends a list of elements surrounded by left and right and separated by commas.
Appends a group that is surrounded by the given left and right objects, and optionally is surrounded by the given breakable objects.
