pub struct UserColorSpec { /* private fields */ }
Expand description

A single color specification provided by the user.

Format

The format of a Spec is a triple: {type}:{attribute}:{value}. Each component is defined as follows:

  • {type} can be one of path, line, column or match.
  • {attribute} can be one of fg, bg or style. {attribute} may also be the special value none, in which case, {value} can be omitted.
  • {value} is either a color name (for fg/bg) or a style instruction.

{type} controls which part of the output should be styled.

When {attribute} is none, then this should cause any existing style settings to be cleared for the specified type.

{value} should be a color when {attribute} is fg or bg, or it should be a style instruction when {attribute} is style. When {attribute} is none, {value} must be omitted.

Valid colors are black, blue, green, red, cyan, magenta, yellow, white. Extended colors can also be specified, and are formatted as x (for 256-bit colors) or x,x,x (for 24-bit true color), where x is a number between 0 and 255 inclusive. x may be given as a normal decimal number of a hexadecimal number, where the latter is prefixed by 0x.

Valid style instructions are nobold, bold, intense, nointense, underline, nounderline.

Example

The standard way to build a UserColorSpec is to parse it from a string. Once multiple UserColorSpecs have been constructed, they can be provided to the standard printer where they will automatically be applied to the output.

A UserColorSpec can also be converted to a termcolor::ColorSpec:

use termcolor::{Color, ColorSpec};
use grep_printer::UserColorSpec;

let user_spec1: UserColorSpec = "path:fg:blue".parse().unwrap();
let user_spec2: UserColorSpec = "match:bg:0xff,0x7f,0x00".parse().unwrap();

let spec1 = user_spec1.to_color_spec();
let spec2 = user_spec2.to_color_spec();

assert_eq!(spec1.fg(), Some(&Color::Blue));
assert_eq!(spec2.bg(), Some(&Color::Rgb(0xFF, 0x7F, 0x00)));

Implementations§

Convert this user provided color specification to a specification that can be used with termcolor. This drops the type of this specification (where the type indicates where the color is applied in the standard printer, e.g., to the file path or the line numbers, etc.).
