Package Exports

extsprintf

This package does not declare an exports field, so the exports above have been automatically detected and optimized by JSPM instead. If any package subpath is missing, it is recommended to post an issue to the original package (extsprintf) to support the "exports" field. If that is not possible, create a JSPM override to customize the exports field for this package.

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
