I read through every file and applied a couple of rustfmt suggestions. The brace placement and alignment of items on similar lines has been made consistent, even if neither are rustfmt's default style (a file has been put in place to enforce this). Other changes are:
• Alphabetical imports and modules
• Comma placement at the end of match blocks
• Use newlines and indentation judiciously
• Spaces around associated types
• Spaces after negations (it makes it more clear imho)
• Comment formatting
• Use early-returns and Optional `?` where appropriate
No new features here, just some restructuring. Mode::GridDetails was nice and elegant with those two fields, but now there’s a grid-details-only option the elegance has gone out the window.
This commit moves the definitions of Filter and DirAction from the options module to the fs module, but leaves the parts that actually have to do with option parsing alone.
Now, the options module shouldn’t define any types that get used elsewhere in the program: it only adds functionality to types that already exist.
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.
This commit extracts the common table element from the details and grid_details modules, and makes it its own reusable thing.
- A Table no longer holds the values it’s rendering; it just holds a continually-updated version of the maximum widths for each column. This means that all of the resulting values that turn into Rows — which here are either files, or file eggs — need to be stored *somewhere*, and that somewhere is a secondary vector that gets passed around and modified alongside the Table.
- Likewise, all the mutable methods that were on Table that added a Row now *return* the row that would have been added, hoping that the row does get stored somewhere. (It does, don’t worry.)
- Because rendering with mock users is tested in the user-field-rendering module, we don’t need to bother threading different types of U through the Environment, so now it’s just been specialised to UsersCache.
- Accidentally speed up printing a table by not buffering its entire output first when not necessary.
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.
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.
Doing this meant that the escaping functionality got used in three places, so it was extracted into a generalised function in its own module.
This is slighly slower for the case where escaped characters are displayed in the same colour as the displayable characters, which happens when listing a directory’s name when recursing. Optimise this, yeah?
Rather than the *entire* file name.
The current method is extremely inefficient, but having control characters in file names is also extremely uncommon; it’s something that should be fixed, only eventually.
It’s the only file where its path is the same as its file name, and has been the source of numerous bugs in the past… this special-case isn’t very clean, but it works.
Fixes#123. The code assumes that every File that has its link_target() method called would first have been checked to make sure it’s actually a link first. Unfortunately it also assumed that the only thing that can go wrong while following a link is if the file wasn’t a link, meaning it crashes when given a link it doesn’t have permission to follow.
This makes the file_target() method able to return either a file or path for displaying, as before, but also an IO error for when things go wrong.
This commit moves file, dir, and the feature modules into one parent 'fs' module. Now there are three main 'areas' of the code: main and options, the filesystem-touching code, and the output-displaying code.
It should be the case that nothing in 'output' touches 'std::fs'.
This commit changes all the views to accommodate printing each path's prefix, if it has one.
Previously, each file was stripped of its ancestry, leaving only its file name to be displayed. So running "exa /usr/bin/*" would display only filenames, while running "ls /usr/bin/*" would display each file prefixed with "/usr/bin/". But running "ls /usr/bin/" -- without the glob -- would run ls on just the directory, printing out the file names with no prefix or anything.
This functionality turned out to be useful in quite a few situations: firstly, if the user passes in files from different directories, it would be hard to tell where they came from (especially if they have the same name, such as find | xargs). Secondly, this also applied when following symlinks, making it unclear exactly which file a symlink would be pointing to.
The reason that it did it this way beforehand was that I didn't think of these use-cases, rather than for any technical reason; this new method should not have any drawbacks save making the output slightly wider in a few cases. Compatibility with ls is also a big plus.
Fixes#104, and relates to #88 and #92.
This commit moves the colours module to be a sub-module of the output one.
This makes sense because finding which colour a certain file should be is only
done during output, and (I think) the only places that the `Colours` struct's
fields are ever queried is from the output module.
The only casualty was that the `file_colour` from the filetype module had to
be moved, as determining colours is no longer part of that module - only
determining filetype is. So it now reflects its name!
The benefit of this is that it make it possible to convert text cell contents
vectors into text cells with a method (see next commit). Casualties include
having to call `.into()` on vectors everywhere, which I'm not convinced is a
bad thing.
This commit introduces the `output::cell::DisplayWidth` struct, which
encapsulates the Unicode *display width* of a string in a struct that makes it
less easily confused with the *length* of a string.
The use of this type means that it's now harder to accidentally use a string's
length-in-bytes as its width. I've fixed at least one case in the code where
this was being done!
The only casualty is that it introduces a dependency on the output module from
the file module, which will be removed next commit.
A recent change to ansi-term [1] means that `ANSIString`s can now hold either
owned *or* borrowed data (Rust calls this the Cow type). This means that we
can delay formatting ANSIStrings into ANSI-control-code-formatted strings
until it's absolutely necessary. The process for doing this was:
1. Replace the `Cell` type with a `TextCell` type that holds a vector of
`ANSIString` values instead of a formatted string. It still does the
width tracking.
2. Rework the details module's `render` functions to emit values of this
type.
3. Similarly, rework the functions that produce cells containing filenames
to use a `File` value's `name` field, which is an owned `String` that
can now be re-used.
4. Update the printing, formatting, and width-calculating code in the
details and grid-details views to produce a table by adding vectors
together instead of adding strings together, delaying the formatting as
long as it can.
This results in fewer allocations (as fewer `String` values are produced), and
makes the API tidier (as fewer `String` values are being passed around without
having their contents specified).
This also paves the way to Windows support, or at least support for
non-ANSI terminals: by delaying the time until strings are formatted,
it'll now be easier to change *how* they are formatted.
Casualties include:
- Bump to ansi_term v0.7.1, which impls `PartialEq` and `Debug` on
`ANSIString`.
- The grid_details and lines views now need to take a vector of files, rather
than a borrowed slice, so the filename cells produced now own the filename
strings that get taken from files.
- Fixed the signature of `File#link_target` to specify that the
file produced refers to the same directory, rather than some phantom
directory with the same lifetime as the file. (This was wrong from the
start, but it broke nothing until now)

This cleans up the options module, moving the structs that were *only* in use for the columns view out of it.
The new OptionSet trait is used to add the ‘deduce’ methods that used to be present on the values.
Changes to the way ANSIStrings work mean we need to dereference the strings before putting them in an ANSIString. There's more that can be done here, but this gets it to compile for now.
This commit adds --grid, which, when used with --long, will split the details into multiple columns. Currently this is just 2 columns, but in the future it will be based on the width of the terminal.
In order to do this, I had to do two things:
1. Add a `links` parameter to the filename function, which disables the printing of the arrow and link target in the details view. When this is active, the columns get way too large, and it becomes not worth it.
2. Change the `print_table` function from actually printing the table to stdout to returning a list of `Cells` based on the table. This list then gets its width measured to calculate the width of the resulting table.
