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, &block) #

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 = "", &block) #

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, &block) : 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, &block) #

Increases the indentation for breakables inside the current group.


View source
def surround(left, right, left_break = "", right_break = "", &block) : 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.
