Crate humanize [−] [src]
Humanize
Make your user interface more human friendly!
This library provides functionality for both formatting values into human friendly forms as well as parsing human input to get back likely values.
Actually, the formatting isn't implemented yet. Contributions are welcome!
This library is inspired by many other things, including:
- Python's humanize library.
- JavaScript's moment.js.
- The 'at' command's input parsing.
Contributions extending our functionality are welcome, as are contributions that add support for additional languages.
Human-friendly Parsing
When dealing with humans, you often want them to be able to
input values in a flexible manner. For example, you might want
to be able to input a bool
using text like "on"
, "off"
,
"yes"
, "no"
or perhaps even "nope"
.
let enabled = humanize::parse::<bool>("on").unwrap_or(false); assert_eq!(enabled, true);
Ideas for the Future
- Actually implement formatting.
