# extsprintf: extended POSIX-style sprintf | |
Stripped down version of s[n]printf(3c). We make a best effort to throw an | |
exception when given a format string we don't understand, rather than ignoring | |
it, so that we won't break existing programs if/when we go implement the rest | |
of this. | |
This implementation currently supports specifying | |
* field alignment ('-' flag), | |
* zero-pad ('0' flag) | |
* always show numeric sign ('+' flag), | |
* field width | |
* conversions for strings, decimal integers, and floats (numbers). | |
* argument size specifiers. These are all accepted but ignored, since | |
Javascript has no notion of the physical size of an argument. | |
Everything else is currently unsupported, most notably: precision, unsigned | |
numbers, non-decimal numbers, and characters. | |
Besides the usual POSIX conversions, this implementation supports: | |
* `%j`: pretty-print a JSON object (using node's "inspect") | |
* `%r`: pretty-print an Error object | |
# Example | |
First, install it: | |
# npm install extsprintf | |
Now, use it: | |
var mod_extsprintf = require('extsprintf'); | |
console.log(mod_extsprintf.sprintf('hello %25s', 'world')); | |
outputs: | |
hello world | |
# Also supported | |
**printf**: same args as sprintf, but prints the result to stdout | |
**fprintf**: same args as sprintf, preceded by a Node stream. Prints the result | |
to the given stream. | |
