Pretty-printer

[Christoffer Sawicki]

Hello!

Does anybody have a pretty-printer for Nu S-expressions lying around?

Something like http://docs.racket-lang.org/reference/pretty-print.html would be awesome. :)

Regards,

Christoffer

Hi Christoffer,

Have you seen this? https://github.com/timburks/nu/blob/master/tools/nubile (based on https://github.com/timburks/nu/blob/master/nu/beautify.nu) 

I use it constantly, mainly from within Textmate.

No, I had missed NuBeautifier in my search after NuPrettifier! :-)

However, NuBeautifier isn't exactly what I'm searching for: it handles indentation but doesn't decide where the line breaks go. (I need it for formatting data undecorated by humans.)

Example with Racket's pretty-write:

(pretty-write '(track (artist "Electric Moon") (album "The Doomsday Machine") (number 3) (name "Spaceman")))

; =>

(track

 (artist "Electric Moon")

 (album "The Doomsday Machine")

 (number 3)

 (name "Spaceman"))

Thanks!

Best regards,

Christoffer
