| |
| This crate provides a procedural macro for indented string literals. The |
| `indoc!()` macro takes a multiline string literal and un-indents it at compile |
| time so the leftmost non-space character is in the first column. |
| |
| ```toml |
| [dependencies] |
| indoc = "1.0" |
| ``` |
| |
| *Compiler requirement: rustc 1.42 or greater.* |
| |
| <br> |
| |
| ## Using indoc |
| |
| ```rust |
| use indoc::indoc; |
| |
| fn main() { |
| let testing = indoc! {" |
| def hello(): |
| print('Hello, world!') |
| |
| hello() |
| "}; |
| let expected = "def hello():\n print('Hello, world!')\n\nhello()\n"; |
| assert_eq!(testing, expected); |
| } |
| ``` |
| |
| Indoc also works with raw string literals: |
| |
| ```rust |
| use indoc::indoc; |
| |
| fn main() { |
| let testing = indoc! {r#" |
| def hello(): |
| print("Hello, world!") |
| |
| hello() |
| "#}; |
| let expected = "def hello():\n print(\"Hello, world!\")\n\nhello()\n"; |
| assert_eq!(testing, expected); |
| } |
| ``` |
| |
| And byte string literals: |
| |
| ```rust |
| use indoc::indoc; |
| |
| fn main() { |
| let testing = indoc! {b" |
| def hello(): |
| print('Hello, world!') |
| |
| hello() |
| "}; |
| let expected = b"def hello():\n print('Hello, world!')\n\nhello()\n"; |
| assert_eq!(testing[..], expected[..]); |
| } |
| ``` |
| |
| <br> |
| |
| ## Formatting macros |
| |
| The indoc crate exports four additional macros to substitute conveniently for |
| the standard library's formatting macros: |
| |
| - `formatdoc!($fmt, ...)` — equivalent to `format!(indoc!($fmt), ...)` |
| - `printdoc!($fmt, ...)` — equivalent to `print!(indoc!($fmt), ...)` |
| - `eprintdoc!($fmt, ...)` — equivalent to `eprint!(indoc!($fmt), ...)` |
| - `writedoc!($dest, $fmt, ...)` — equivalent to `write!($dest, indoc!($fmt), ...)` |
| |
| ```rust |
| use indoc::printdoc; |
| |
| fn main() { |
| printdoc! {" |
| GET {url} |
| Accept: {mime} |
| ", |
| url = "http://localhost:8080", |
| mime = "application/json", |
| } |
| } |
| ``` |
| |
| <br> |
| |
| ## Explanation |
| |
| The following rules characterize the behavior of the `indoc!()` macro: |
| |
| 1. Count the leading spaces of each line, ignoring the first line and any lines |
| that are empty or contain spaces only. |
| 2. Take the minimum. |
| 3. If the first line is empty i.e. the string begins with a newline, remove the |
| first line. |
| 4. Remove the computed number of spaces from the beginning of each line. |
| |
| <br> |
| |
| ## Unindent |
| |
| Indoc's indentation logic is available in the `unindent` crate. This may be |
| useful for processing strings that are not statically known at compile time. |
| |
| The crate exposes two functions: |
| |
| - `unindent(&str) -> String` |
| - `unindent_bytes(&[u8]) -> Vec<u8>` |
| |
| ```rust |
| use unindent::unindent; |
| |
| fn main() { |
| let indented = " |
| line one |
| line two"; |
| assert_eq!("line one\nline two", unindent(indented)); |
| } |
| ``` |
