I love how you're adding easy issues for new contributors. Might be worth working on this project once I learn Rust. I need to create a very basic virtual terminal widget for a project anyway, and this project is the only recently updated project related to virtual terminals in Rust. Do you plan on making this a full blown virtual terminal like the inactive rust-terminal?
@AravSinghal this project is just intended to be a state machine for the ansi terminal protocol, nothing more. I have plans for higher level libraries as well which will use this project internally.
I would like to take this! Thanks for bringing it to my attention.
@lizbaillie all yours :)
@jwilm created a WIP PR - did not get very far this morning, but thought it might be helpful for you to see my progress so far, in case there was something I was doing obviously wrong from the get-go 😛

The
utf8parse
package could use a test validating the implementation. My thought about how to do this is to find some complicated UTF-8 file and compare results of parsing it with this package's parser and the standard library'sstd::str::from_utf8()
.Approach
Implement a
utf8parse::Receiver
for something wrapping aString
. Read the UTF-8 test file into a buffer. for each byte in the buffer,advance()
theutf8parse::Parser
. After running all bytes through the parser, let the string be theactual
value. Now, callString::from_utf8()
on the test file buffer; let that be theexpected
value. Assert that those values are equal.Links
