Rust util that highlights an error.

• code_highlighter lets you highlight errors in your code and show extra lines around the error for better context.

Example

The code below:

let code = "functon is_zero (x) {
  if (x == 0) [
    return true;
  ] else {
    return false;
  }
}";
println!("Error:");
println!("{}", code_highlighter::highlight_error(38, 64, &code));
println!("");

println!("Warning:");
println!("{}", code_highlighter::highlight_warning(38, 64, &code));
println!("");

println!("Custom color:");
println!("{}", code_highlighter::highlight(38, 64, &code, "\x1b[4m\x1b[32m"));
println!("");

let code = "(Foo x) = 7[0 ]\n";
println!("Error:");
println!("{}", code_highlighter::highlight_error(16, 17, &code));
println!("");

Will output:

Usage

1. Install using cargo

cargo add code_highlighter

2. main.rs

use code_highlighter::highlight_error_with_context;

fn main() {
  // set the number of lines of context you want to show
  let context = 2; // Adds two lines above and below the error

  // assuming `range` has the error position and `source.raw` is your code
  let code = highlight_error_with_context(range.start, range.end, &source.raw, context);

  // print the highlighted code
  println!("{}", code);
}
