Text.PrettyPrint.GenericPretty

Description

GenericPretty is a Haskell library that supports automatic derivation of pretty printing functions on user defined data types.

The output provided is a pretty printed version of that provided by show. That is, rendering the document provided by this pretty printer yields an output identical to that of show, except for extra whitespace.

For examples of usage please see the README file included in the package.

Documentation

class Out a where Source #

The class Out is the equivalent of Show

It provides conversion of values to pretty printable Pretty.Doc's.

Minimal complete definition: docPrec or doc.

Derived instances of Out have the following properties

The result of docPrec is a syntactically correct Haskell expression containing only constants, given the fixity declarations in force at the point where the type is declared. It contains only the constructor names defined in the data type, parentheses, and spaces. When labelled constructor fields are used, braces, commas, field names, and equal signs are also used.
If the constructor is defined to be an infix operator, then docPrec will produce infix applications of the constructor.
the representation will be enclosed in parentheses if the precedence of the top-level constructor in x is less than d (associativity is ignored). Thus, if d is 0 then the result is never surrounded in parentheses; if d is 11 it is always surrounded in parentheses, unless it is an atomic expression.
If the constructor is defined using record syntax, then docPrec will produce the record-syntax form, with the fields given in the same order as the original declaration.

For example, given the declarations

data Tree a =  Leaf a  |  Node (Tree a) (Tree a) deriving (Generic)

The derived instance of Out is equivalent to:

instance (Out a) => Out (Tree a) where
 
        docPrec d (Leaf m) = Pretty.sep $ wrapParens (d > appPrec) $
             text "Leaf" : [nest (constrLen + parenLen) (docPrec (appPrec+1) m)]
          where appPrec = 10
                constrLen = 5;
                parenLen = if(d > appPrec) then 1 else 0

        docPrec d (Node u v) = Pretty.sep $ wrapParens (d > appPrec) $
             text "Node" : 
             nest (constrLen + parenLen) (docPrec (appPrec+1) u) : 
             [nest (constrLen + parenLen) (docPrec (appPrec+1) v)]
          where appPrec = 10
                constrLen = 5
                parenLen = if(d > appPrec) then 1 else 0

Methods

docPrec Source #

Arguments

:: Int	the operator precedence of the enclosing context (a number from `0` to `11`). Function application has precedence `10`.
-> a	the value to be converted to a `String`
-> Doc	the resulting Doc

docPrec is the equivalent of showsPrec.

Convert a value to a pretty printable Doc.

default docPrec :: (Generic a, GOut (Rep a)) => Int -> a -> Doc Source #

doc :: a -> Doc Source #

doc is the equivalent of show

This is a specialised variant of docPrec, using precedence context zero.

default doc :: (Generic a, GOut (Rep a)) => a -> Doc Source #

docList :: [a] -> Doc Source #

docList is the equivalent of showList.

The method docList is provided to allow the programmer to give a specialised way of showing lists of values. For example, this is used by the predefined Out instance of the Char type, where values of type String should be shown in double quotes, rather than between square brackets.
