console_static_text

Zero dependency crate for logging text that should stay in the same place in a console. This measures words to handle wrapping and has some console resizing support. Example use might be for displaying progress bars or rendering selections.

Example use with the console crate:

use console_static_text::ConsoleSize;
use console_static_text::ConsoleStaticText;
use console_static_text::ConsoleStaticTextOptions;

let mut static_text = ConsoleStaticText::new(
  ConsoleStaticTextOptions {
    // I honestly haven't tested this
    strip_ansi_codes: Box::new(console::strip_ansi_codes),
    console_size: Box::new(|| {
      let size = console::Term::stderr().size();
      ConsoleSize {
         rows: size.0,
         cols: size.1,
      }
    }),
  },
);

static_text.eprint("initial\ntext");
// will clear the previous text and put this new text
static_text.eprint("new text");

// or get the text manually
if let Some(text) = static_text.get_update_text("new text") {
  eprint!("{}", text);
}

// clear out the previous text
static_text.eprint_clear();

// todo: document hanging indent support
