class number::impl::SimpleModifier
 

Detailed Description

Formats simple patterns like "{1} was born in {0}".

Minimal subset of MessageFormat; fast, simple, minimal dependencies. Supports only numbered arguments with no type nor style parameters, and formats only string values. Quoting via ASCII apostrophe compatible with ICU MessageFormat default behavior.

Factory methods set error codes for syntax errors and for too few or too many arguments/placeholders.

SimpleFormatter objects are thread-safe except for assignment and applying new patterns.

Example:

UErrorCode errorCode = U_ZERO_ERROR;
SimpleFormatter fmt("{1} '{born}' in {0}", errorCode);
UnicodeString result;

// Output: "paul {born} in england"
fmt.format("england", "paul", result, errorCode);

This class is not intended for public subclassing.

Parameters
value0Value for argument {0}.
value1Value for argument {1}.
appendToGets the formatted pattern and values appended.
errorCodeICU error code in/out parameter. Must fulfill U_SUCCESS before the function call.
Returns

◆ format() [3/3]

UnicodeString & icu::SimpleFormatter::format ( const UnicodeString value0,
UnicodeString appendTo,
UErrorCode errorCode 
) const

Formats the given value, appending to the appendTo builder.

The argument value must not be the same object as appendTo. getArgumentLimit() must be at most 1.

Parameters
value0Value for argument {0}.

Formats the given values, appending to the appendTo string.

Parameters
valuesThe argument values. An argument value must not be the same object as appendTo. Can be nullptr if valuesLength==getArgumentLimit()==0.
valuesLengthThe length of the values array. Must be at least getArgumentLimit().
appendToGets the formatted pattern and values appended.
offsetsoffsets[i] receives the offset of where values[i] replaced pattern argument {i}. Can be shorter or longer than values. Can be nullptr if offsetsLength==0. If there is no {i} in the pattern, then offsets[i] is set to -1.
offsetsLengthThe length of the offsets array.
errorCodeICU error code in/out parameter. Must fulfill U_SUCCESS before the function call.

) const

Formats the given values, replacing the contents of the result string.

May optimize by actually appending to the result if it is the same object as the value corresponding to the initial argument in the pattern.

Parameters
valuesThe argument values. An argument value may be the same object as result. Can be nullptr if valuesLength==getArgumentLimit()==0.
valuesLengthThe length of the values array. Must be at least getArgumentLimit().
resultGets its contents replaced by the formatted pattern and values.
offsetsoffsets[i] receives the offset of where values[i] replaced pattern argument {i}. Can be shorter or longer than values. Can be nullptr if offsetsLength==0. If there is no {i} in the pattern, then offsets[i] is set to -1.
offsetsLengthThe length of the offsets array.
errorCodeICU error code in/out parameter. Must fulfill U_SUCCESS before the function call.
Returns
result

◆ getArgumentLimit()

int32_t icu::SimpleFormatter::getArgumentLimit ( ) const
inline
Returns
The max argument number + 1.

Definition at line 155 of file simpleformatter.h.

◆ getTextWithNoArguments() [1/2]

UnicodeString icu::SimpleFormatter::getTextWithNoArguments ( ) const
inline

Returns the pattern text with none of the arguments.

Like formatting with all-empty string values.

◆ getTextWithNoArguments() [2/2]

UnicodeString icu::SimpleFormatter::getTextWithNoArguments ( int32_t offsets,
int32_t  offsetsLength 
) const
inline

Returns the pattern text with none of the arguments.

Like formatting with all-empty string values.

TODO(ICU-20406): Replace this with an Iterator interface.

Parameters
offsetsoffsets[i] receives the offset of where {i} was located before it was replaced by an empty string. For example, "a{0}b{1}" produces offset 1 for i=0 and 2 for i=1. Can be nullptr if offsetsLength==0. If there is no {i} in the pattern, then offsets[i] is set to -1.
offsetsLengthThe length of the offsets array.
