Struct minus::Pager [−][src]
pub struct Pager { /* fields omitted */ }
Expand description
A struct containing basic configurations for the pager. This is used by all initializing functions
Example
You can use any async runtime, but we are taking the example of [tokio
]
#[tokio::main] async fn main() -> Result<(), Box<dyn std::error::Error>> { use minus::{Pager, LineNumbers, tokio_updating}; let mut pager = Pager::new().unwrap(); pager.set_line_numbers(LineNumbers::AlwaysOn); pager.set_prompt("A complex configuration"); // Normally, you would use `futures::join` to join the pager and the text // updating function. We are doing this here to make the example simple tokio_updating(pager.finish()).await?; Ok(()) }
For static output
fn main() -> Result<(), Box<dyn std::error::Error>> { let mut pager = minus::Pager::new().unwrap(); pager.set_text("Hello"); pager.set_prompt("Example"); minus::page_all(pager)?; Ok(()) }
Implementations
Set the output text to this t
Note that unlike Pager::push_str
, this replaces the original text.
If you want to append text, use the Pager::push_str
function
Example
let mut pager = minus::Pager::new().unwrap(); pager.set_text("This is a line");
Set line number to this setting
Example
use minus::{Pager, LineNumbers}; let mut pager = Pager::new().unwrap(); pager.set_line_numbers(LineNumbers::Enabled);
Set the prompt displayed at the prompt to t
Example
use minus::Pager; let mut pager = Pager::new().unwrap(); pager.set_prompt("my awesome program");
Return a PagerMutex
from this Pager
. This is gated on tokio_lib
or
async_std_lib
feature
Example
use minus::Pager; let mut pager = Pager::new().unwrap(); pager.set_text("This output is paged"); let _pager_mutex = pager.finish();
Set the default exit strategy.
This controls how the pager will behave when the user presses q
or Ctrl+C
.
See ExitStrategy
for available options
use minus::{Pager, ExitStrategy}; let mut pager = Pager::new().unwrap(); pager.set_exit_strategy(ExitStrategy::ProcessQuit);
Set whether to display pager if there’s less data than available screen height
By default this is set to false
use minus::Pager; let mut pager = Pager::new().unwrap(); pager.set_run_no_overflow(true);
Appends text to the pager output
This function will automatically split the lines, if they overflow the number of terminal columns
let mut pager = minus::Pager::new().unwrap(); pager.push_str("This is some text");
Tells the running pager that no more data is coming
Note that after this function is called, any call to Pager::set_text()
or
Pager::push_str()
will panic
Example
use minus::Pager; let mut pager = Pager::new().unwrap(); pager.set_text("Hello from minus!"); pager.end_data_stream();
Set custom input handler function
See example in InputHandler
on using this
function
Run the exit callbacks
Example
use minus::Pager; fn hello() { println!("Hello"); } let mut pager = Pager::new().unwrap(); pager.add_exit_callback(Box::new(hello)); pager.exit()
Example
use minus::Pager; fn hello() { println!("Hello"); } let mut pager = Pager::new().unwrap(); pager.add_exit_callback(Box::new(hello));

Blanket Implementations
Mutably borrows from an owned value. Read more
Executes the given command directly.
The given command its ANSI escape code will be written and flushed onto Self
.
Arguments
-
The command that you want to execute directly.
Example
use std::io::{Write, stdout}; use crossterm::{Result, ExecutableCommand, style::Print}; fn main() -> Result<()> { // will be executed directly stdout() .execute(Print("sum:\n".to_string()))? .execute(Print(format!("1 + 1= {} ", 1 + 1)))?; Ok(()) // ==== Output ==== // sum: // 1 + 1 = 2 }
Have a look over at the Command API for more details.
Notes
- In the case of UNIX and Windows 10, ANSI codes are written to the given ‘writer’.
- In case of Windows versions lower than 10, a direct WinAPI call will be made.
The reason for this is that Windows versions lower than 10 do not support ANSI codes,
and can therefore not be written to the given
writer
. Therefore, there is no difference between execute and queue for those old Windows versions.
Queues the given command for further execution.
Queued commands will be executed in the following cases:
- When
flush
is called manually on the given type implementingio::Write
. - The terminal will
flush
automatically if the buffer is full. - Each line is flushed in case of
stdout
, because it is line buffered.
Arguments
-
The command that you want to queue for later execution.
Examples
use std::io::{Write, stdout}; use crossterm::{Result, QueueableCommand, style::Print}; fn main() -> Result<()> { let mut stdout = stdout(); // `Print` will executed executed when `flush` is called. stdout .queue(Print("foo 1\n".to_string()))? .queue(Print("foo 2".to_string()))?; // some other code (no execution happening here) ... // when calling `flush` on `stdout`, all commands will be written to the stdout and therefore executed. stdout.flush()?; Ok(()) // ==== Output ==== // foo 1 // foo 2 }
