name: fmt version: 0.6.3.0 synopsis: A new formatting library description: A new formatting library that tries to be simple to understand while still being powerful and providing more convenience features than other libraries (like functions for pretty-printing maps and lists, or a function for printing arbitrary datatypes using generics). . A comparison with other libraries: . * @printf@ (from @Text.Printf@) takes a formatting string and uses some type tricks to accept the rest of the arguments polyvariadically. It's very concise, but there are some drawbacks – it can't produce @Text@ (you'd have to @T.pack@ it every time) and it doesn't warn you at compile-time if you pass wrong arguments or not enough of them. . * takes a formatting string with curly braces denoting places where arguments would be substituted (the arguments themselves are provided via a tuple). If you want to apply formatting to some of the arguments, you have to use one of the provided formatters. Like @printf@, it can fail at runtime, but at least the formatters are first-class (and you can add new ones). . * takes a formatting template consisting of pieces of strings interleaved with formatters; this ensures that arguments always match their placeholders. @formatting@ provides lots of formatters and generally seems to be the most popular formatting library here. Unfortunately, at least in my experience writing new formatters can be awkward and people sometimes have troubles understanding how @formatting@ works. . * (i.e. this library) provides formatters that are ordinary functions, and a bunch of operators for concatenating formatted strings; those operators also do automatic conversion. There are some convenience formatters which aren't present in @formatting@ (like ones for formatting maps, lists, converting to base64, etc). Some find the operator syntax annoying, while others like it. homepage: http://github.com/cdornan/fmt bug-reports: http://github.com/cdornan/fmt/issues license: BSD3 license-file: LICENSE author: Artyom Kazak , Dmitry Kovanikov maintainer: Chris Dornan -- copyright: category: Text tested-with: GHC == 7.10.3 GHC == 8.0.2 GHC == 8.2.2 GHC == 8.4.4 GHC == 8.6.4 GHC == 8.6.5 GHC == 8.10.4 build-type: Simple extra-source-files: CHANGELOG.md tests/doctest-config.json cabal-version: >=1.10 source-repository head type: git location: git://github.com/cdornan/fmt.git library exposed-modules: Fmt Fmt.Time Fmt.Internal Fmt.Internal.Core Fmt.Internal.Formatters Fmt.Internal.Template Fmt.Internal.Tuple Fmt.Internal.Numeric Fmt.Internal.Generic build-depends: base >=4.6 && <5, base64-bytestring, bytestring, call-stack, containers, formatting >= 7.0.0, microlens >= 0.3, text, time, time-locale-compat ghc-options: -Wall -fno-warn-unused-do-bind if impl(ghc > 8.0) ghc-options: -Wno-redundant-constraints hs-source-dirs: lib default-language: Haskell2010 if !impl(ghc >= 8.0) build-depends: semigroups == 0.18.* test-suite tests main-is: Main.hs type: exitcode-stdio-1.0 build-depends: base >=4.6 && <5 , bytestring , call-stack , containers , fmt , hspec >= 2.2 , neat-interpolation , text , vector ghc-options: -Wall -fno-warn-unused-do-bind hs-source-dirs: tests default-language: Haskell2010 test-suite doctests default-language: Haskell2010 type: exitcode-stdio-1.0 ghc-options: -threaded hs-source-dirs: tests main-is: doctests.hs build-depends: base >=4.6 && <5 , doctest , QuickCheck build-tool-depends: doctest-discover:doctest-discover if impl(ghc < 8.0) buildable: False benchmark benches type: exitcode-stdio-1.0 hs-source-dirs: bench main-is: Main.hs build-depends: base >=4.6 && <5 , bytestring , containers , criterion , deepseq , fmt , formatting , interpolate , text , vector ghc-options: -Wall default-language: Haskell2010
