Enum Direction

#[non_exhaustive]
pub enum Direction {
    Auto,
    Sign,
    ForceSign,
    Suffix,
}

Configuration for SpanPrinter::direction.

This controls how the sign, if at all, is included in the formatted duration.

When using the “hours-minutes-seconds” format, Auto and Suffix are both treated as equivalent to Sign when all calendar units (days and greater) are zero.

Example

use jiff::{fmt::friendly::{Direction, SpanPrinter}, SignedDuration};

let duration = SignedDuration::from_secs(-1);

let printer = SpanPrinter::new();
assert_eq!(printer.duration_to_string(&duration), "1s ago");

let printer = SpanPrinter::new().direction(Direction::Sign);
assert_eq!(printer.duration_to_string(&duration), "-1s");

Variants (Non-exhaustive)

Non-exhaustive enums could have additional variants added in future. Therefore, when matching against variants of non-exhaustive enums, an extra wildcard arm must be added to account for any future variants.

Auto

Sets the sign format based on other configuration options.

When SpanPrinter::spacing is set to Spacing::None, then Auto is equivalent to Sign.

When using the “hours-minutes-seconds” format, Auto is equivalent to Sign when all calendar units (days and greater) are zero.

Otherwise, Auto is equivalent to Suffix.

This is the default used by SpanPrinter.

Sign

When set, a sign is only written when the span or duration is negative. And when it is written, it is written as a prefix of the formatted duration.

ForceSign

A sign is always written, with - for negative spans and + for all non-negative spans. The sign is always written as a prefix of the formatted duration.

Suffix

When set, a sign is only written when the span or duration is negative. And when it is written, it is written as a suffix via a trailing ago string.
