CodeBlockWriterSharp

Code writer that assists with formatting and visualizing blocks of JavaScript or TypeScript code.

Conversion of code-block-writer to C# (.net standard and .net framework).

Todo

• Convert tests from code-block-writer to c#.

Install

Available on nuget.

dotnet add package CodeBlockWriterSharp
# or
Install-Package CodeBlockWriterSharp
# or
nuget install CodeBlockWriterSharp

Example

using CodeBlockWriterSharp;

// ...etc...

var writer = new CodeBlockWriter(new Options {
    // optional options
    NewLine = "\r\n",         // default: "\n"
    IndentNumberOfSpaces = 2, // default: 4
    UseTabs = false,          // default: false
    UseSingleQuote = true     // default: false
});

writer.Write("class MyClass extends OtherClass").Block(() => {
    writer.WriteLine("@MyDecorator(1, 2)");
    writer.Write("myMethod(myParam: any)").Block(() => {
        writer.Write("return this.post(").Quote("myArgument").Write(");");
    });
});

Console.WriteLine(writer.ToString());

Outputs (using "\r\n" for newlines):

class MyClass extends OtherClass {
  @MyDecorator(1, 2)
  myMethod(myParam: any) {
    return this.post('myArgument');
  }
}

Methods

• Block(Action block = null) - Indents all the code written within and surrounds it in braces.
• InlineBlock(Action block = null) - Same as block, but doesn't add a space before the first brace and doesn't add a newline at the end.
• GetLength() - Get the current number of characters.
• WriteLine(string text) - Writes some text and adds a newline.
• NewLine() - Writes a newline.
• NewLineIfLastNot() - Writes a newline if what was written last wasn't a newline.
• BlankLine() - Writes a blank line. Does not allow consecutive blank lines.
• BlankLineIfLastNot() - Writes a blank line if what was written last wasn't a blank line.
• Quote() - Writes a quote character.
• Quote(string text) - Writes text surrounded in quotes.
• Indent(times = 1) - Indents the current line. Optionally writes multiple indents when providing a number.
• IndentBlock(Action block = null) - Indents a block of code.
• Space(int times = 1) - Writes a space. Optionally writes multiple spaces when providing a number.
• SpaceIfLastNot() - Writes a space if the last was not a space.
• Tab(int times = 1) - Writes a tab. Optionally writes multiple tabs when providing a number.
• TabIfLastNot() - Writes a tab if the last was not a tab.
• Write(string text) - Writes some text.
• ConditionalNewLine(bool condition) - Writes a newline if the condition is matched.
• ConditionalBlankLine(bool condition) - Writes a blank line if the condition is matched.
• ConditionalWrite(bool condition, string text) - Writes if the condition is matched.
• ConditionalWrite(bool condition, Func<string> textFunc) - Writes if the condition is matched.
• ConditionalWriteLine(bool condition, string text) - Writes some text and adds a newline if the condition is matched.
• ConditionalWriteLine(bool condition, Func<string> textFunc) - Writes some text and adds a newline if the condition is matched.
• SetIndentationLevel(int indentationLevel) - Sets the current indentation level.
• SetIndentationLevel(string whitespaceText) - Sets the current indentation level based on the provided whitespace text.
• WithIndentationLevel(int indentationLevel, Action action) - Sets the indentation level within the provided action.
• WithIndentationLevel(string whitespaceText, Action action) - Sets the indentation level based on the provided whitespace text within the action.
• GetIndentationLevel() - Gets the current indentation level.
• QueueIndentationLevel(int indentationLevel) - Queues an indentation level to be used once a new line is written.
• QueueIndentationLevel(string whitespaceText) - Queues an indentation level to be used once a new line is written based on the provided whitespace text.
• WithHangingIndentation(Action action) - Writes the code within the action with hanging indentation.
• CloseComment() - Writes text to exit a comment if in a comment.
• IsInComment() - Gets if the writer is currently in a comment.
• IsAtStartOfFirstLineOfBlock() - Gets if the writer is currently at the start of the first line of the text, block, or indentation block.
• IsOnFirstLineOfBlock() - Gets if the writer is currently on the first line of the text, block, or indentation block.
• IsInString() - Gets if the writer is currently in a string.
• IsLastNewLine() - Gets if the writer last wrote a newline.
• IsLastBlankLine() - Gets if the writer last wrote a blank line.
• IsLastSpace() - Gets if the writer last wrote a space.
• IsLastTab() - Gets if the writer last wrote a tab.
• GetLastChar() - Gets the last character written.
• GetOptions() - Gets the writer options.
• ToString() - Gets the string.

Other Features

• Does not indent within strings.
• Escapes newlines within double and single quotes created with .Quote(text).
