# annotate-snippets
`annotate-snippets` is a Rust library for annotation of programming code slices.

![build status](https://github.com/rust-lang/annotate-snippets-rs/actions/workflows/ci.yml/badge.svg)
[![Coverage Status](https://coveralls.io/repos/github/rust-lang/annotate-snippets-rs/badge.svg?branch=master)](https://coveralls.io/github/rust-lang/annotate-snippets-rs?branch=master)
The library helps visualize meta information annotating source code slices.
It takes a data structure called `Snippet` on the input and produces a `String`
which may look like this:
```text
error[E0308]: mismatched types
--> src/format.rs:52:1
|
52 | / for ann in annotations {
53 | | match (ann.range.0, ann.range.1) {
54 | | (None, None) => continue,
55 | | (Some(start), Some(end)) if start > end_index => continue,
... |
71 | | }
72 | | }
| |_____^ expected enum `std::option::Option`, found ()
```

Usage
-----
```rust
use annotate_snippets::{
display_list::{DisplayList, FormatOptions},
snippet::{Annotation, AnnotationType, Slice, Snippet, SourceAnnotation},
};
fn main() {
let snippet = Snippet {
title: Some(Annotation {
label: Some("expected type, found `22`"),
id: None,
annotation_type: AnnotationType::Error,
}),
footer: vec![],
slices: vec![Slice {
source: r#" annotations: vec![SourceAnnotation {
label: "expected struct `annotate_snippets::snippet::Slice`, found reference"
,
range: <22, 25>,"#,
line_start: 26,
origin: Some("examples/footer.rs"),
fold: true,
annotations: vec![
SourceAnnotation {
label: "",
annotation_type: AnnotationType::Error,
range: (187, 189),
},
SourceAnnotation {
label: "while parsing this struct",
annotation_type: AnnotationType::Info,
range: (34, 50),
},
],
}],
opt: FormatOptions {
color: true,
..Default::default()
},
};
let dl = DisplayList::from(snippet);
println!("{}", dl);
}
