howl.Buffer

buffer = (text) ->
  with Buffer {}
    .text = text

.size returns the size of the buffer text, in bytes

assert.equal buffer('hello').size, 5

.text

.text allows setting and retrieving the buffer text

b = Buffer {}
assert.equal b.text, ''
b.text = 'Ipsum'
assert.equal 'Ipsum', b.text

transforms incorrect input

b = Buffer {}
b.text = '|\x80|'
assert.equal '|�|', b.text

b = buffer 'time'
now = math.floor sys.time!
assert.is_true math.floor(b.last_changed) > now - 1
assert.is_true math.floor(b.last_changed) <= now

is updated whenever the buffer is changed in some way

b = buffer 'time'
cur = b.last_changed

b\insert 'foo', 1
assert.is_true b.last_changed > cur

cur = b.last_changed
b\delete 1, 3

b.text = 'foo'
with_tmpfile (file) ->
  file.contents = 'yes sir'
  b.file = file
  assert.equal b.text, 'yes sir'

and the buffer is not modified

before_each ->
  config.reset!
  config.define name: 'buf_var', description: 'some var', default: 'def value'
  b.text = 'foo'
  b.modified = false
  b.config.buf_var = 'orig_value'

sets the buffer text to the contents of the file

with_tmpfile (file) ->
  file.contents = 'yes sir'
  b.file = file
  assert.equal b.text, 'yes sir'

preserves the buffer config

with_tmpfile (file) ->

when <file> does not exist

set the buffer text to the empty string

b.text = 'foo'
with_tmpfile (file) ->
  file\delete!
  b.file = file
  assert.equal '', b.text

.eol

is "\\n" by default

assert.equals '\n', buffer('').eol

b\append 'Bačon'
assert.is_true b.multibyte

is updated whenever text is deleted

b = buffer 'Bačon'
b\delete 3, 5
assert.is_false b.multibyte

.modified_on_disk

is false for a buffer with no file

assert.is_false Buffer!.modified_on_disk

assert.equal 'def value', b.config.buf_var
b.config.buf_var = 123
assert.equal 123, b.config.buf_var
assert.equal 'def value', config.buf_var

is chained to the mode config when available

mode_config = config.proxy '', 'mode:config'
mode = config_layer: 'mode:config'
b = buffer 'config'
b.mode = mode
mode_config.buf_var = 'from_mode'
assert.equal 'from_mode', b.config.buf_var

is chained to the global config when mode config is not available

b = buffer 'config'
b.mode = {}
assert.equal 'def value', b.config.buf_var

each new buffer gets a distinct config

b1 = buffer 'config'
b2 = buffer 'config'
b1.config.buf_var = 'b1_value'
b2.config.buf_var = 'b2_value'
assert.equal 'b1_value', b1.config.buf_var
assert.equal 'b2_value', b2.config.buf_var

assert.equal '|�|', b.text

append(text)

appends the specified text

b = buffer 'hello'
b\append ' world'
assert.equal 'hello world', b.text

returns the position right after the inserted text

  b\delete 4, 6
  b\insert 'minmin', 4

assert.equal 'ño minminor', b.text
b\undo!
assert.equal 'ño señor', b.text

returns the return value of <f> as its own return value

b = buffer '12345'
ret = b\change 1, 3, ->
  'zed'

assert.equals 'zed', ret

undo

undoes the last operation

b = buffer 'hello'
b\delete 1, 1
b\undo!
assert.equal 'hello', b.text

resets the .modified flag when at last saved file revision

  b\delete 1, 1
  b\undo!
  b\undo!
  assert.equal true, b.modified
  b\redo!
  assert.equal false, b.modified
  b\redo!
  assert.equal true, b.modified

setting it to false removes any undo history

b = buffer 'hello'
assert.is_true b.can_undo
b.can_undo = false
assert.is_false b.can_undo
b\undo!
assert.equal b.text, 'hello'

setting it to true is a no-op

assert.equal 'hello', b.text

(when f raises an error)

propagates the error

b = buffer 'hello'
assert.raises 'oh my',  ->
  b\as_one_undo -> error 'oh my'

ends the undo transaction

b = buffer 'hello'
assert.error -> b\as_one_undo ->

returns a pointer to a char buffer for the span, and a byte count

b = buffer '123456789'
assert_returns '3456', 4, b\get_ptr(3, 6)

b = buffer '1åäö8'
assert_returns 'äö', 4, b\get_ptr(3, 4)

handles boundary conditions

b = buffer '123'
assert_returns '123', 3, b\get_ptr(1, 3)
assert_returns '1', 1, b\get_ptr(1, 1)

returns a zero pointer for an empty range

b = buffer ''
assert_returns '', 0, b\get_ptr(1, 0)

raises errors for illegal span values

b = buffer '123'
assert.raises 'Illegal', -> b\get_ptr -1, 2
assert.raises 'Illegal', -> b\get_ptr 1, 4
assert.raises 'Illegal', -> b\get_ptr 3, 4

returns a read-only pointer

b = buffer '123'
ptr = b\get_ptr 1, 1
assert.raises 'constant', -> ptr[0] = 88

titles

uses file basename as the default title

b = Buffer {}
b.file = File('/path/to/file.ext')
assert.equal b.title, 'file.ext'

setting title explicitly overrides default title

b = Buffer {}
b.file = File('/path/to/file.ext')
b.title = 'be something else'
assert.equal b.title, 'be something else'

signals

buffer-saved is fired whenever a buffer is saved

with_signal_handler 'buffer-saved', nil, (handler) ->
  b = buffer 'foo'
  with_tmpfile (file) ->
    b.file = file
    b\save!

  assert.spy(handler).was_called!

text-inserted is fired whenever text is inserted into a buffer

with_signal_handler 'text-inserted', nil, (handler) ->
  b = buffer 'foo'
  b\append 'bar'
  assert.spy(handler).was_called!

text-deleted is fired whenever text is deleted from buffer

with_signal_handler 'text-inserted', nil, (handler) ->
  b = buffer 'foo'
  b\delete 1, 2
  assert.spy(handler).was_called!

text-changed is fired whenever text is change:d from buffer

with_signal_handler 'text-changed', nil, (handler) ->
  b = buffer 'foo'
  b\change 1, 2, ->
    b\delete 1, 1
  assert.spy(handler).was_called!

buffer-modified is fired whenever a buffer is modified

with_signal_handler 'buffer-modified', nil, (handler) ->
  b = buffer 'foo'
  b\append 'bar'
  assert.spy(handler).was_called!

buffer-reloaded is fired whenever a buffer is reloaded

with_signal_handler 'buffer-reloaded', nil, (handler) ->
  with_tmpfile (file) ->
    b = buffer 'foo'
    b.file = file
    b\reload!
    assert.spy(handler).was_called!

buffer-mode-set is fired whenever a buffer has its mode set

with_signal_handler 'buffer-mode-set', nil, (handler) ->
  b = buffer 'foo'
  b.mode = {}
  assert.spy(handler).was_called!

buffer-title-set is fired whenever a buffer has its title set

with_signal_handler 'buffer-title-set', nil, (handler) ->
  b = buffer 'foo'
  b.title = 'Sir Buffer'
  assert.spy(handler).was_called!

(resource management)

buffers are collected properly

b = buffer 'foobar'
buffers = setmetatable { b }, __mode: 'v'
b = nil
collectgarbage!
assert.is_nil buffers[1]
