Struct ToWriterBuilder 

pub struct ToWriterBuilder<T, W> { /* private fields */ }

A struct which will try to format a Value and write the output to a writer. This can be configured with custom parsers to extend how to write out the value.

Implementations

impl<T, W: Write> ToWriterBuilder<T, W>

pub fn compact(self) -> Self

Write the crate::Value to a compact string, omitting spaces.

Example

use scale_value::{value,Value};
use scale_value::stringify::to_writer_custom;

let val = value!({
    foo: (1,2,3,4,5),
    bar: true
});

let mut s = String::new();

to_writer_custom()
    .compact()
    .write(&val, &mut s)
    .unwrap();

assert_eq!(s, r#"{foo:(1,2,3,4,5),bar:true}"#);

pub fn pretty(self) -> Self

Write the crate::Value to a pretty spaced/indented string.

Example

use scale_value::{value, Value};
use scale_value::stringify::to_writer_custom;

let val = value!({
    foo: (1,2,3,4,5),
    bar: true
});

let mut s = String::new();

to_writer_custom()
    .pretty()
    .write(&val, &mut s)
    .unwrap();

assert_eq!(s, r#"{
  foo: (
    1,
    2,
    3,
    4,
    5
  ),
  bar: true
}"#);

pub fn leading_indent(self, s: impl Into<String>) -> Self

Write the crate::Value to a pretty spaced string, indenting each new line by applying Self::indent_by() the number of times given here. Defaults to nothing.

Example

use scale_value::{value, Value};
use scale_value::stringify::to_writer_custom;

let val = value!({
    foo: (1,2,3,4,5),
    bar: true
});

let mut s = String::new();

to_writer_custom()
    .pretty()
    .leading_indent("****")
    .write(&val, &mut s)
    .unwrap();

assert_eq!(s, r#"{
****  foo: (
****    1,
****    2,
****    3,
****    4,
****    5
****  ),
****  bar: true
****}"#);

pub fn indent_by(self, s: impl Into<String>) -> Self

When using Self::pretty(), this defines the characters used to add each step of indentation to newlines. Defaults to two spaces.

Example

use scale_value::{value, Value};
use scale_value::stringify::to_writer_custom;

let val = value!({
    foo: (1,2,3,4,5),
    bar: true
});

let mut s = String::new();

to_writer_custom()
    .pretty()
    .indent_by("**")
    .write(&val, &mut s)
    .unwrap();

assert_eq!(s, r#"{
**foo: (
****1,
****2,
****3,
****4,
****5
**),
**bar: true
}"#);

pub fn format_context<F: Fn(&T, &mut W) -> Result + 'static>(self, f: F) -> Self

Write the context contained in each value out, too. This is prepended to each value within angle brackets (< and >).

Warning

When this is used, the resulting outpuot cannot then be parsed back into Value (in part since the user can output arbitrary content for the context). Nevertheless, writing the context can be useful for debugging errors and providing more verbose output.

Example

use scale_value::{value, Value, ValueDef, Primitive};
use scale_value::stringify::to_writer_custom;
use std::fmt::Write;

let val = Value {
    value: ValueDef::Primitive(Primitive::Bool(true)),
    context: "hi"
};

let mut s = String::new();

to_writer_custom()
    .format_context(|ctx, w: &mut &mut String| write!(w, "context: {ctx}"))
    .write(&val, &mut s)
    .unwrap();

assert_eq!(s, r#"<context: hi> true"#);

pub fn add_custom_formatter<F: Fn(&Value<T>, &mut W) -> Option<Result> + 'static>( self, f: F, ) -> Self

Add a custom formatter (for example, crate::stringify::custom_formatters::format_hex). Custom formatters have the opportunity to read the value at each stage, and:

• Should output None if they do not wish to override the standard formatting (in this case, they should also avoid writing anything to the provided writer).
• Should output Some(core::fmt::Result) if they decide to override the default formatting at this point.

Custom formatters are tried in the order that they are added here, and when one decides to write output (signalled by returning Some(..)), no others will be tried. Thus, the order in which they are added is important.

pub fn write(&self, value: &Value<T>, writer: W) -> Result

Write some value to the provided writer, using the currently configured options.
