Struct OutputNode 

pub struct OutputNode {
    pub name: String,
    pub entry_type: EntryType,
    pub text: Option<String>,
    pub cells: Vec<String>,
    pub children: Vec<OutputNode>,
}

A node in the output tree.

Nodes can carry text, tabular cells, and nested children. This is the building block for all structured output.

Examples

Simple text output (echo):

let node = OutputNode::text("hello world");

File listing (ls):

let node = OutputNode::new("file.txt").with_entry_type(EntryType::File);

Table row (ls -l):

let node = OutputNode::new("file.txt")
    .with_cells(vec!["drwxr-xr-x".into(), "4096".into()])
    .with_entry_type(EntryType::Directory);

Tree node with children:

let child = OutputNode::new("main.rs").with_entry_type(EntryType::File);
let parent = OutputNode::new("src")
    .with_entry_type(EntryType::Directory)
    .with_children(vec![child]);

Fields

name: String

Primary identifier (filename, key, label).

entry_type: EntryType

Rendering hint (colors, icons).

text: Option<String>

Text content (for echo, cat, exec).

cells: Vec<String>

Additional columns (for ls -l, ps, env).

children: Vec<OutputNode>

Child nodes (for tree, find).

Implementations

impl OutputNode

pub fn new(name: impl Into<String>) -> Self

Create a new node with a name.

pub fn text(content: impl Into<String>) -> Self

Create a text-only node (for echo, cat, etc.).

pub fn with_entry_type(self, entry_type: EntryType) -> Self

Set the entry type for rendering hints.

pub fn with_cells(self, cells: Vec<String>) -> Self

Set additional columns for tabular output.

pub fn with_children(self, children: Vec<OutputNode>) -> Self

Set child nodes for tree output.

pub fn with_text(self, text: impl Into<String>) -> Self

Set text content.

pub fn is_text_only(&self) -> bool

Check if this is a text-only node.

pub fn has_children(&self) -> bool

Check if this node has children.

pub fn display_name(&self) -> &str

Get the display name, potentially with text content.

Trait Implementations

impl Clone for OutputNode

fn clone(&self) -> OutputNode

Returns a duplicate of the value.

fn clone_from(&mut self, source: &Self)

Performs copy-assignment from source.

impl Debug for OutputNode

fn fmt(&self, f: &mut Formatter<'_>) -> Result

Formats the value using the given formatter.

impl Default for OutputNode

fn default() -> OutputNode

Returns the “default value” for a type.

impl PartialEq for OutputNode

fn eq(&self, other: &OutputNode) -> bool

Tests for self and other values to be equal, and is used by ==.

fn ne(&self, other: &Rhs) -> bool

Tests for !=. The default implementation is almost always sufficient, and should not be overridden without very good reason.

impl Serialize for OutputNode

fn serialize<__S>(&self, __serializer: __S) -> Result<__S::Ok, __S::Error>

where __S: Serializer,

Serialize this value into the given Serde serializer.
