formatador

STDOUT text formatting

You can call class methods to print out single lines like this:

Formatador.display_line('Hello World')

You use tags, similar to html, to set formatting options:

Formatador.display_line('[green]Hello World[/]')

[/] resets everything to normal, colors are supported and [_color_] sets the background color.

• format - and adds color codes if STDOUT.tty? is true
• display - calls format on the input and prints it
• display_line - calls display, but adds on a newline (\n)
• redisplay - Displays text, prepended with \r which will overwrite the last existing line

• display_table: takes an array of hashes. Each hash is a row, with the keys being the headers and values being the data. An optional second argument can specify which headers/columns to include and in what order they should appear.
• display_compact_table: Same as display_table, execpt that split lines are not drawn by default in the body of the table. If you need a split line, put a :split constant in the body array.
• redisplay_progressbar: takes the current and total values as its first two arguments and redisplays a progressbar (until current = total and then it display_lines). An optional third argument represents the start time and will add an elapsed time counter.

total    = 1000
progress = Formatador::ProgressBar.new(total)

1000.times do
  progress.increment
end

#=> 978/1000  |************************************************* |

# Change the color of the bar
total    = 1000
progress = Formatador::ProgressBar.new(total, :color => "light_blue")

1000.times do
  progress.increment
end

# Change the color of a completed progress bar
total    = 1000
progress = Formatador::ProgressBar.new(total) { |b| b.opts[:color] = "green" }

1000.times do
  progress.increment
end

table_data = [
  { :name => "Joe",  :food => "Burger" },
  { :name => "Bill", :food => "French fries" }
]
Formatador.display_table(table_data)

#=> +------+--------------+
#   | name | food         |
#   +------+--------------+
#   | Joe  | Burger       |
#   +------+--------------+
#   | Bill | French fries |
#   +------+--------------+

table_data = [
  {
    :name => "Joe",
    :meal => {
      :main_dish => "Burger",
      :drink => "water"
    }
  },
  {
    :name => "Bill",
    :meal => {
      :main_dish => "Chicken",
      :drink => "soda"
    }
  }
]
Formatador.display_table(table_data, [:name, :"meal.drink"])

#=> +------+------------+
#   | name | meal.drink |
#   +------+------------+
#   | Joe  | water      |
#   +------+------------+
#   | Bill | soda       |
#   +------+------------+

By initializing a formatador object you can keep track of indentation:

formatador = Formatador.new
formatador.display_line('one level of indentation')
formatador.indent {
  formatador.display_line('two levels of indentation')
}
formatador.display_line('one level of indentation')
