[−][src]Crate format_bytes
This crate exposes a procedural macro that allows you to format bytestrings. For more background on why you would want to do that, read this article.
Usage
Add this to your Cargo.toml:
[dependencies]
format-bytes = "0.1"
then use the macro like so:
use format_bytes::format_bytes; fn main() { assert_eq!( format_bytes!(b"look at those {} bytes", &[0u8, 1, 2]), b"look at those \x00\x01\x02 bytes" ); }
See more examples of how it works on the documentation of
format_bytes! itself.
Missing features
- Named arguments, but they should be added in a future version
- Python-like "f-string" functionality is not planned because of its more complex implementation and limited actual benefit
format!-like padding helpers: if the need manifests itself, they might appear
Why not 1.0?
Not until named arguments have landed and the macro gets a bit of mileage (it will be used in Mercurial).
