Overview

A pretty-printer for Ruby objects.

What PP Does

Standard output by #p returns this:

#<PP:0x81fedf0 @genspace=#<Proc:0x81feda0>, @group_queue=#<PrettyPrint::GroupQueue:0x81fed3c @queue=[[#<PrettyPrint::Group:0x81fed78 @breakables=[], @depth=0, @break=false>], []]>, @buffer=[], @newline="\n", @group_stack=[#<PrettyPrint::Group:0x81fed78 @breakables=[], @depth=0, @break=false>], @buffer_width=0, @indent=0, @maxwidth=79, @output_width=2, @output=#<IO:0x8114ee4>>

Pretty-printed output returns this:

#<PP:0x81fedf0
 @buffer=[],
 @buffer_width=0,
 @genspace=#<Proc:0x81feda0>,
 @group_queue=
  #<PrettyPrint::GroupQueue:0x81fed3c
   @queue=
    [[#<PrettyPrint::Group:0x81fed78 @break=false, @breakables=[], @depth=0>],
     []]>,
 @group_stack=
  [#<PrettyPrint::Group:0x81fed78 @break=false, @breakables=[], @depth=0>],
 @indent=0,
 @maxwidth=79,
 @newline="\n",
 @output=#<IO:0x8114ee4>,
 @output_width=2>

Usage

pp(obj)             #=> obj
pp obj              #=> obj
pp(obj1, obj2, ...) #=> [obj1, obj2, ...]
pp()                #=> nil

Output obj(s) to $> in pretty printed format.

It returns obj(s).

Output Customization

To define a customized pretty printing function for your classes, redefine method #pretty_print(pp) in the class. Note that require 'pp' is needed before redefining #pretty_print(pp).

#pretty_print takes the .pp argument, which is an instance of the PP class. The method uses #text, #breakable, #nest, #group and #pp to print the object.

Pretty-Print JSON

To pretty-print JSON refer to JSON#pretty_generate.

PPMethods - Included

#check_inspect_key

Check whether the object_id id is in the current buffer of objects to be pretty printed.

#comma_breakable

A convenience method which is same as follows:

#guard_inspect_key

Yields to a block and preserves the previous set of objects being printed.

#object_address_group

A convenience method, like object_group, but also reformats the Object’s object_id.

#object_group

A convenience method which is same as follows:

#pop_inspect_key

Removes an object from the set of objects being pretty printed.

#pp

Adds obj to the pretty printing buffer using Object#pretty_print or Object#pretty_print_cycle.

#pp_hash

A pretty print for a ::Hash.

#pp_hash_pair

A pretty print for a pair of ::Hash.

#pp_object

A present standard failsafe for pretty printing any given ::Object.

#push_inspect_key

Adds the object_id id to the set of objects being pretty printed, so as to not repeat objects.

#seplist

Adds a separated list.

Class Attribute Details

.sharing_detection (rw)

Returns the sharing detection flag as a boolean value. It is false (nil) by default.

[ GitHub ]

  
# File 'lib/pp.rb', line 125

def sharing_detection
  Ractor.current[:pp_sharing_detection]
end

.sharing_detection=(value) (rw)

Returns the sharing detection flag as a boolean value. It is false by default.

[ GitHub ]

  
# File 'lib/pp.rb', line 129

def sharing_detection=(b)
  Ractor.current[:pp_sharing_detection] = b
end

Class Method Details

.mcall(obj, mod, meth, *args, &block)

This method is for internal use only.
[ GitHub ]

  
# File 'lib/pp.rb', line 116

def PP.mcall(obj, mod, meth, *args, &block)
  mod.instance_method(meth).bind_call(obj, *args, &block)
end

.pp(obj, out = $>, width = width_for(out))

Outputs obj to out in pretty printed format of width columns in width.

If out is omitted, $> is assumed. If width is omitted, the width of out is assumed (see width_for).

pp returns out.

[ GitHub ]

  
# File 'lib/pp.rb', line 96

def PP.pp(obj, out=$>, width=width_for(out))
  q = new(out, width)
  q.guard_inspect_key {q.pp obj}
  q.flush
  #$pp = q
  out << "\n"
end

.singleline_pp(obj, out = $>)

Outputs obj to out like .pp but with no indent and newline.

singleline_pp returns out.

[ GitHub ]

  
# File 'lib/pp.rb', line 108

def PP.singleline_pp(obj, out=$>)
  q = SingleLine.new(out)
  q.guard_inspect_key {q.pp obj}
  q.flush
  out
end

.width_for(out)

Returns the usable width for out. As the width of out:

  1. If out is assigned to a tty device, its width is used.

  2. Otherwise, or it could not get the value, the COLUMN environment variable is assumed to be set to the width.

  3. If COLUMN is not set to a non-zero number, 80 is assumed.

And finally, returns the above width value - 1.

  • This -1 is for Windows command prompt, which moves the cursor to the next line if it reaches the last column.

[ GitHub ]

  
# File 'lib/pp.rb', line 79

def PP.width_for(out)
  begin
    require 'io/console'
    _, width = out.winsize
  rescue LoadError, NoMethodError, SystemCallError
  end
  (width || ENV['COLUMNS']&.to_i&.nonzero? || 80) - 1
end
