This library is deprecated
Formatting is a simple header-only C++ library to format strings with automatic type inference. It resembles (with some simplifications though) the SLF4J Java library and Python's format method. The library is distributed with almost no restrictions due to BSD 2-clause license.
The simplest example of the library usage is:
std::string formatted = formatting::format("{} + {} is {} and that's {}", 2, 2, 2+2, true);
This makes the formatted string contain 2 + 2 is 4 and that's true. Some other examples include:
std::vector<int> v;
v.push_back(100);
v.push_back(200);
std::cout << formatting::format("v={}", v);
// outputs `v=[100, 200]`
for (int i=0; i<5; i++)
std::cout << formatting::format("{} ", width[3](i, '0'));
// outputs `000 001 002 003 004`
double pi = 3.14159265;
double e = 2.718281828;
std::cout << formatting::format("{} {}", precision[3](pi), precision[5](e));
// outputs `3.141 2.71828`
Self-explaining unit-tests can be found in the test/ folder of the repository.
