This commit moves the Environment field from the Table to its Options, and properly gets rid of the name ‘columns’ from the last commit.
Having it in the Options is important, because it means it can be generated from some command-line options. Also, it reduces the number of arguments that need to be passed to Table::new; there would have been 4 with the inclusion of the Environment, but by moving some of the code into the function, we can avoid this (and any further arguments).
The views have been renamed to be the Optionses of their module; now the options for the Table — Columns — has followed suit.
This works out, because the table module depended on everything in the columns module. It opens the door for other only-table-specific things to be included.
The casualty was that by making it non-Clone and non-PartialEq, a bunch of other #[derive]-d types had to have their derivions removed too.
If a function returns one of several enum variants, but we’re only interested in one, then just return its contents and have it apply the Mode “wrapper” later.
These two fields were originally needed to determine how to recurse when using tree view.
However, as there was no distinction between the “options parsed from the command-line” Details and the “values needed to render a table” Details, these had to be threaded through the options parser as a special-case to end up in the right struct.
No more! Because there are separate structs for options and rendering, we can just add them in later.
Instead of having render methods on the types that are now called Options, create new Render structs (one per view) and execute them. This means that it’s easier to extract methods from them — some of them are pretty long.
Also, remove the GridDetails struct, which got consumed by Mode (mostly)
By introducing another indirection between the structs that command-line options get parsed into and the structs that get rendered, it should be easier to refactor that horrible function in view.rs.
Now that colours don’t depend on a previously-calculated “should we be using colours” boolean anymore, their entire deduce function can be done separately to the mode’s one.
exa assumed that the COLUMNS environment variable being present always meant that the output was to a terminal, so it should use colours. But because this variable can be overridden, colours were being incorrectly set!
The ‘fix’ is to stop trying to be clever while only calculating the terminal width once, and instead just stick it in a lazy_static so it’s usable everywhere.
All four view types — lines, grid, details, and grid-details — held their own colours and classify flags.
This didn’t make any sense for the grid-details view, which had to pick which one to use: the values were in there twice.
It also gave the Table in the details view access to more information than it really should have had.
Now, those two flags are returned separately from the view “mode”, which is the new term for one of those four things.
This adds an option (always on at the moment) to use a colour scale of green to yellow to orange for the file size field instead of always green. See #65.
Now when you do `--sort time` instead of saying "unknown option --sort
time" it will say "unknown options '--sort time' (choices: name...)"
with all legal options.
This also adds the legal values to the default help text.
The original options was becoming a bit unwieldy, and would have been even more so if I added the same amount of comments. So this commit splits it up.
There's no extra hiding going on here, or rearranging things within the module: (almost) everything now has to be marked 'pub' to let other sub-modules in the new options module to see it.
