Marquee

This is a CLI tool that will convert each line of stdin into a "marquee" style output. An example can be seen below.

Usage

sh echo "Hello World" | marquee

See marquee --help for advanced usage.

--json

If specifying the --json flag, the json values are as follows:

jsonc { "content": "required string", // The content of the string that will be rotating "prefix": "optional string", // The prefix before the string "suffix": "optional string", // The suffix after the string "rotate": "optional boolean" // If the string should rotate (default: true) }

Note: If specifying both --prefix and prefix in the JSON or --suffix and suffix in the JSON, then the output will take the form of {global_prefix}{prefix}{content}{suffix}{global_suffix}

Todo

Some of the todo items that I have in mind (feel free to create issues for more or PRs to implement these)

• [ ] Better documentation
• [ ] Make JSON a feature rather than enabled by default
  • This would probably keep the --json arg, but give a useful message, similar to how exa does with their --git arg.
  • Ideally it would remove serde from the build all together
• [ ] Convert all unwrap/expect to properly handle errors
• [ ] Add more features to the JSON input (I'm not 100% on these)
  • speed: u64 - The speed at which the message should rotate
  • parts: &[String] - Parts that should rotate separately, this would require quite a large rewrite to be done well, I think
• [ ] More CLI configuration
