Rattata

Rattata is a Scala Abstract Syntax Tree(AST) pretty print tool.

Scala: 2.11.7

Usage

Rattata hasn't publish to third-party library server, so use Rattata at local or reference from GitHub in build.sbt.

Local use

> git clone https://github.com/Azard/Rattata.git
> cd Rattata
> sbt publish-local

Add libraryDependencies += "me.azard" %% "rattata" % "1.0.0" to build.sbt

Now can import me.azard.rattata.Rattata

Reference from GitHub

See "How can sbt pull dependency artifacts from git?" - StackOverflow.

Example

When use Scala AST to write macro, do pattern match or something else, it will be helpful to read a pretty print AST.

Here is a Scala AST

import scala.reflect.runtime.universe._
val exp = reify {
  val x = 1
  val y = 2
  x + y
}

Use original showRaw

scala> println(showRaw(exp))
Expr(Block(List(ValDef(Modifiers(), TermName("x"), TypeTree(), Literal(Constant(1))), ValDef(Modifiers(), TermName("y"), TypeTree(), Literal(Constant(2)))), Apply(Select(Ident(TermName("x")), TermName("$plus")), List(Ident(TermName("y"))))))

Use Rattata.pprintAST

scala> import me.azard.rattata.Rattata
import me.azard.rattata.Rattata

scala> Rattata.pprintAST(exp)

• Rattata.setTabSize(2).pprintAST(exp) to change indent size.
• Rattata.setShowLine(false).pprintAST(exp) to remove lines.
• Rattata.setTabSize(2).setShowLine(false).pprintAST(exp) or setting at same time.
