console_static_text

Zero dependency crate for logging text that should stay in the same place in a console. This measures words to handle wrapping and has some console resizing support. For an example, this could be used for displaying progress bars or inputs.

Example use with the console crate:

use console_static_text::ConsoleStaticText;
use console_static_text::ConsoleStaticTextOptions;

let mut static_text = ConsoleStaticText::new(
  ConsoleStaticTextOptions {
    // I honestly haven't tested this
    strip_ansi_codes: Box::new(console::strip_ansi_codes),
    terminal_width: Box::new(|| console::Term::stderr().size().1),
  },
);

static_text.eprint("initial\ntext");
// will clear the previous text and put this new text
static_text.eprint("new text");

// or get the text manually
if let Some(text) = static_text.get_update_text("new text") {
  eprint!("{}", text);
}

// clear out the previous text
static_text.eprint_clear();
