pub struct Formatter<'a> { /* private fields */ }
Expand description
Configuration for formatting.
A Formatter
represents various options related to formatting. Users do not
construct Formatter
s directly; a mutable reference to one is passed to
the fmt
method of all formatting traits, like Debug
and Display
.
To interact with a Formatter
, you’ll call various methods to change the
various options related to formatting. For examples, please see the
documentation of the methods defined on Formatter
below.
Implementations
Performs the correct padding for an integer which has already been emitted into a str. The str should not contain the sign for the integer, that will be added by this method.
Arguments
- is_nonnegative - whether the original integer was either positive or zero.
- prefix - if the ‘#’ character (Alternate) is provided, this is the prefix to put in front of the number.
- buf - the byte array that the number has been formatted into
This function will correctly account for the flags provided as well as the minimum width. It will not take precision into account.
Examples
use std::fmt;
struct Foo { nb: i32 }
impl Foo {
fn new(nb: i32) -> Foo {
Foo {
nb,
}
}
}
impl fmt::Display for Foo {
fn fmt(&self, formatter: &mut fmt::Formatter) -> fmt::Result {
// We need to remove "-" from the number output.
let tmp = self.nb.abs().to_string();
formatter.pad_integral(self.nb >= 0, "Foo ", &tmp)
}
}
assert_eq!(&format!("{}", Foo::new(2)), "2");
assert_eq!(&format!("{}", Foo::new(-1)), "-1");
assert_eq!(&format!("{}", Foo::new(0)), "0");
assert_eq!(&format!("{:#}", Foo::new(-1)), "-Foo 1");
assert_eq!(&format!("{:0>#8}", Foo::new(-1)), "00-Foo 1");
This function takes a string slice and emits it to the internal buffer after applying the relevant formatting flags specified. The flags recognized for generic strings are:
- width - the minimum width of what to emit
- fill/align - what to emit and where to emit it if the string provided needs to be padded
- precision - the maximum length to emit, the string is truncated if it is longer than this length
Notably this function ignores the flag
parameters.
Examples
use std::fmt;
struct Foo;
impl fmt::Display for Foo {
fn fmt(&self, formatter: &mut fmt::Formatter) -> fmt::Result {
formatter.pad("Foo")
}
}
assert_eq!(&format!("{:<4}", Foo), "Foo ");
assert_eq!(&format!("{:0>4}", Foo), "0Foo");
Writes some data to the underlying buffer contained within this formatter.
Examples
use std::fmt;
struct Foo;
impl fmt::Display for Foo {
fn fmt(&self, formatter: &mut fmt::Formatter) -> fmt::Result {
formatter.write_str("Foo")
// This is equivalent to:
// write!(formatter, "Foo")
}
}
assert_eq!(&format!("{}", Foo), "Foo");
assert_eq!(&format!("{:0>8}", Foo), "Foo");
Writes some formatted information into this instance.
Examples
use std::fmt;
struct Foo(i32);
impl fmt::Display for Foo {
fn fmt(&self, formatter: &mut fmt::Formatter) -> fmt::Result {
formatter.write_fmt(format_args!("Foo {}", self.0))
}
}
assert_eq!(&format!("{}", Foo(-1)), "Foo -1");
assert_eq!(&format!("{:0>8}", Foo(2)), "Foo 2");

, or sign_aware_zero_pad
methods instead

methods instead
Flags for formatting
Character used as ‘fill’ whenever there is alignment.
Examples
use std::fmt;
struct Foo;
impl fmt::Display for Foo {
fn fmt(&self, formatter: &mut fmt::Formatter) -> fmt::Result {
let c = formatter.fill();
if let Some(width) = formatter.width() {
for _ in 0..width {
write!(formatter, "{}", c)?;
}
Ok(())
} else {
write!(formatter, "{}", c)
}
}
}
// We set alignment to the right with ">".
assert_eq!(&format!("{:G>3}", Foo), "GGG");
assert_eq!(&format!("{:t>6}", Foo), "tttttt");
Flag indicating what form of alignment was requested.
Examples
extern crate core;
use std::fmt::{self, Alignment};
struct Foo;
impl fmt::Display for Foo {
fn fmt(&self, formatter: &mut fmt::Formatter) -> fmt::Result {
let s = if let Some(s) = formatter.align() {
match s {
Alignment::Left => "left",
Alignment::Right => "right",
Alignment::Center => "center",
}
} else {
"into the void"
};
write!(formatter, "{}", s)
}
}
assert_eq!(&format!("{:<}", Foo), "left");
assert_eq!(&format!("{:>}", Foo), "right");
assert_eq!(&format!("{:^}", Foo), "center");
assert_eq!(&format!("{}", Foo), "into the void");
Optionally specified integer width that the output should be.
Examples
use std::fmt;
struct Foo(i32);
impl fmt::Display for Foo {
fn fmt(&self, formatter: &mut fmt::Formatter) -> fmt::Result {
if let Some(width) = formatter.width() {
// If we received a width, we use it
write!(formatter, "{:width$}", &format!("Foo({})", self.0), width = width)
} else {
// Otherwise we do nothing special
write!(formatter, "Foo({})", self.0)
}
}
}
assert_eq!(&format!("{:10}", Foo(23)), "Foo(23) ");
assert_eq!(&format!("{}", Foo(23)), "Foo(23)");
Optionally specified precision for numeric types. Alternatively, the maximum width for string types.
Examples
use std::fmt;
struct Foo(f32);
impl fmt::Display for Foo {
fn fmt(&self, formatter: &mut fmt::Formatter) -> fmt::Result {
if let Some(precision) = formatter.precision() {
// If we received a precision, we use it.
write!(formatter, "Foo({1:.*})", precision, self.0)
} else {
// Otherwise we default to 2.
write!(formatter, "Foo({:.2})", self.0)
}
}
}
assert_eq!(&format!("{:.4}", Foo(23.2)), "Foo(23.2000)");
assert_eq!(&format!("{}", Foo(23.2)), "Foo(23.20)");
Determines if the +
flag was specified.
Examples
use std::fmt;
struct Foo(i32);
impl fmt::Display for Foo {
fn fmt(&self, formatter: &mut fmt::Formatter) -> fmt::Result {
if formatter.sign_plus() {
write!(formatter,
"Foo({}{})",
if self.0 < 0 { '-' } else { '+' },
self.0)
} else {
write!(formatter, "Foo({})", self.0)
}
}
}
assert_eq!(&format!("{:+}", Foo(23)), "Foo(+23)");
assert_eq!(&format!("{}", Foo(23)), "Foo(23)");
Determines if the -
flag was specified.
Examples
use std::fmt;
struct Foo(i32);
impl fmt::Display for Foo {
fn fmt(&self, formatter: &mut fmt::Formatter) -> fmt::Result {
if formatter.sign_minus() {
// You want a minus sign? Have one!
write!(formatter, "-Foo({})", self.0)
} else {
write!(formatter, "Foo({})", self.0)
}
}
}
assert_eq!(&format!("{:-}", Foo(23)), "-Foo(23)");
assert_eq!(&format!("{}", Foo(23)), "Foo(23)");
Determines if the #
flag was specified.
Examples
use std::fmt;
struct Foo(i32);
impl fmt::Display for Foo {
fn fmt(&self, formatter: &mut fmt::Formatter) -> fmt::Result {
if formatter.alternate() {
write!(formatter, "Foo({})", self.0)
} else {
write!(formatter, "{}", self.0)
}
}
}
assert_eq!(&format!("{:#}", Foo(23)), "Foo(23)");
assert_eq!(&format!("{}", Foo(23)), "23");
Determines if the 0
flag was specified.
Examples
use std::fmt;
struct Foo(i32);
impl fmt::Display for Foo {
fn fmt(&self, formatter: &mut fmt::Formatter) -> fmt::Result {
assert!(formatter.sign_aware_zero_pad());
assert_eq!(formatter.width(), Some(4));
// We ignore the formatter's options.
write!(formatter, "{}", self.0)
}
}
assert_eq!(&format!("{:04}", Foo(23)), "23");
Creates a DebugStruct
builder designed to assist with creation of
fmt::Debug
implementations for structs.
Examples
use std::fmt;
use std::net::Ipv4Addr;
struct Foo {
bar: i32,
baz: String,
addr: Ipv4Addr,
}
impl fmt::Debug for Foo {
fn fmt(&self, fmt: &mut fmt::Formatter) -> fmt::Result {
fmt.debug_struct("Foo")
.field("bar", &self.bar)
.field("baz", &self.baz)
.field("addr", &format_args!("{}", self.addr))
.finish()
}
}
assert_eq!(
"Foo { bar: 10, baz: \"Hello World\", addr: 127.0.0.1 }",
format!("{:?}", Foo {
bar: 10,
baz: "Hello World".to_string(),
addr: Ipv4Addr::new(127, 0, 0, 1),
})
);
Creates a DebugTuple
builder designed to assist with creation of
fmt::Debug
implementations for tuple structs.
Examples
use std::fmt;
use std::marker::PhantomData;
struct Foo<T>(i32, String, PhantomData<T>);
impl<T> fmt::Debug for Foo<T> {
fn fmt(&self, fmt: &mut fmt::Formatter) -> fmt::Result {
fmt.debug_tuple("Foo")
.field(&self.0)
.field(&self.1)
.field(&format_args!("_"))
.finish()
}
}
assert_eq!(
"Foo(10, \"Hello\", _)",
format!("{:?}", Foo(10, "Hello".to_string(), PhantomData::<u8>))
);
Creates a DebugList
builder designed to assist with creation of
fmt::Debug
implementations for list-like structures.
Examples
use std::fmt;
struct Foo(Vec<i32>);
impl fmt::Debug for Foo {
fn fmt(&self, fmt: &mut fmt::Formatter) -> fmt::Result {
fmt.debug_list().entries(self.0.iter()).finish()
}
}
assert_eq!(format!("{:?}", Foo(vec![10, 11])), "[10, 11]");
Creates a DebugSet
builder designed to assist with creation of
fmt::Debug
implementations for set-like structures.
Examples
use std::fmt;
struct Foo(Vec<i32>);
impl fmt::Debug for Foo {
fn fmt(&self, fmt: &mut fmt::Formatter) -> fmt::Result {
fmt.debug_set().entries(self.0.iter()).finish()
}
}
assert_eq!(format!("{:?}", Foo(vec![10, 11])), "{10, 11}");
In this more complex example, we use format_args!
and .debug_set()
to build a list of match arms:
use std::fmt;
struct Arm<'a, L: 'a, R: 'a>(&'a (L, R));
struct Table<'a, K: 'a, V: 'a>(&'a [(K, V)], V);
impl<'a, L, R> fmt::Debug for Arm<'a, L, R>
where
L: 'a + fmt::Debug, R: 'a + fmt::Debug
{
fn fmt(&self, fmt: &mut fmt::Formatter) -> fmt::Result {
L::fmt(&(self.0).0, fmt)?;
fmt.write_str(" => ")?;
R::fmt(&(self.0).1, fmt)
}
}
impl<'a, K, V> fmt::Debug for Table<'a, K, V>
where
K: 'a + fmt::Debug, V: 'a + fmt::Debug
{
fn fmt(&self, fmt: &mut fmt::Formatter) -> fmt::Result {
fmt.debug_set()
.entries(self.0.iter().map(Arm))
.entry(&Arm(&(format_args!("_"), &self.1)))
.finish()
}
}
Creates a DebugMap
builder designed to assist with creation of
fmt::Debug
implementations for map-like structures.
Examples
use std::fmt;
struct Foo(Vec<(String, i32)>);
impl fmt::Debug for Foo {
fn fmt(&self, fmt: &mut fmt::Formatter) -> fmt::Result {
fmt.debug_map().entries(self.0.iter().map(|&(ref k, ref v)| (k, v))).finish()
}
}
assert_eq!(
format!("{:?}", Foo(vec![("A".to_string(), 10), ("B".to_string(), 11)])),
r#"{"A": 10, "B": 11}"#
);

The output type produced by this Serializer
during successful
serialization. Most serializers that produce text or binary output
should set Ok = ()
and serialize into an io::Write
or buffer
contained within the Serializer
instance. Serializers that build
in-memory data structures may be simplified by using Ok
to propagate
the data structure around. Read more
