Readme
A complete implementation of the printf
C functions family
for Node.JS, written in pure JavaScript.
Bonus! You get extra features, like the %O
converter (which inspect
s
the argument). See Extra Features below.
Via NPM:
$ npm install printf
Use it like you would in C (printf
/sprintf
):
var printf = require('printf');
var result = printf(format, args...);
It can also output the result for you, as fprintf
:
var printf = require('printf');
printf(write_stream, format, args...);
(space)assert.eql(' -42', printf('% 5d', -42));
+
(plus)assert.eql(' +42', printf('%+5d', 42));
0
(zero)assert.eql('00042', printf('%05d', 42));
-
(minus)assert.eql('42 ', printf('%-5d', 42));
assert.eql('42.90', printf('%.2f', 42.8952));
assert.eql('042.90', printf('%06.2f', 42.8952));
assert.eql('\x7f', printf('%c', 0x7f));
assert.eql('a', printf('%c', 'a'));
assert.eql('"', printf('%c', 34));
assert.eql('10%', printf('%d%%', 10));
assert.eql('+hello+', printf('+%s+', 'hello'));
assert.eql("a", printf("%c", "a"));
assert.eql('"', printf("%c", 34));
assert.eql('$', printf('%c', 36));
assert.eql("10", printf("%d", 10));
The %O
converter will call util.inspect(...)
at the argument:
assert.eql("Debug: { hello: 'Node', repeat: false }",
printf('Debug: %O', {hello: 'Node', "repeat": false})
);
assert.eql("Test: { hello: 'Node' }",
printf('%2$s: %1$O', {"hello": 'Node'}, 'Test')
);
Important: it's a capital "O", not a zero!
Specifying a precision lets you control the depth up to which the object is formatted:
assert.eql("Debug: { depth0: { depth1_: 0, depth1: [Object] } }",
printf('Debug: %.1O', {depth0: {depth1: {depth2: {depth3: true}}, depth1_: 0}})
);
You can use the alternative form flag together with %O
to disable representation of non-enumerable properties (useful for arrays):
assert.eql("With non-enumerable properties: [ 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, [length]: 5 ]",
printf('With non-enumerable properties: %O', [1, 2, 3, 4, 5])
);
assert.eql("Without non-enumerable properties: [ 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 ]",
printf('Without non-enumerable properties: %#O', [1, 2, 3, 4, 5])
);
You can use the sign flag together with %O
to enable colors in util.inspect
:
assert.eql("With colors: { bar: \u001b[33mtrue\u001b[39m, baz: \u001b[33mfalse\u001b[39m }",
printf('With colors: %+O', {bar: true, baz: false})
);
In addition to the old-fashioned n$
,
you can use hashes and property names!
assert.eql('Hot Pockets',
printf('%(temperature)s %(crevace)ss', {
temperature: 'Hot',
crevace: 'Pocket'
})
);
assert.eql('Hot Pockets',
printf('%2$s %1$ss', 'Pocket', 'Hot')
);
Length and precision can now be variable:
assert.eql(' foo', printf('%*s', 'foo', 4));
assert.eql(' 3.14', printf('%*.*f', 3.14159265, 10, 2));
assert.eql('000003.142', printf('%0*.*f', 3.14159265, 10, 3));
assert.eql('3.1416 ', printf('%-*.*f', 3.14159265, 10, 4));
Tests are written in CoffeeScript and are executed with Mocha. To use it, simple run npm install
, it will install Mocha and its dependencies in your project's node_modules
directory followed by npm test
.
To run the tests:
npm install
npm test
The test suite is run online with Travis against the versions 6, 7, 8 and 9 of Node.js.
This package is developed by Adaltas.
