Expand description
Format trait for an empty format, {}.
Implementing this trait for a type will automatically implement the
ToString trait for the type, allowing the usage
of the .to_string() method. Prefer implementing
the Display trait for a type, rather than ToString.
Display is similar to Debug, but Display is for user-facing
output, and so cannot be derived.
For more information on formatters, see the module-level documentation.
Examples
Implementing Display on a type:
use std::fmt;
struct Point {
x: i32,
y: i32,
}
impl fmt::Display for Point {
fn fmt(&self, f: &mut fmt::Formatter<'_>) -> fmt::Result {
write!(f, "({}, {})", self.x, self.y)
}
}
let origin = Point { x: 0, y: 0 };
assert_eq!(format!("The origin is: {origin}"), "The origin is: (0, 0)");Required Methods
sourcefn fmt(&self, f: &mut Formatter<'_>) -> Result<(), Error>
fn fmt(&self, f: &mut Formatter<'_>) -> Result<(), Error>
Formats the value using the given formatter.
Examples
use std::fmt;
struct Position {
longitude: f32,
latitude: f32,
}
impl fmt::Display for Position {
fn fmt(&self, f: &mut fmt::Formatter<'_>) -> fmt::Result {
write!(f, "({}, {})", self.longitude, self.latitude)
}
}
assert_eq!("(1.987, 2.983)",
format!("{}", Position { longitude: 1.987, latitude: 2.983, }));
