Enum Spacing 

#[non_exhaustive]
pub enum Spacing {
    None,
    BetweenUnits,
    BetweenUnitsAndDesignators,
}

Configuration for SpanPrinter::spacing.

This controls how much or how little whitespace is inserted into a “friendly” formatted duration. Typically, one wants less whitespace when using short unit designators (i.e., y instead of years), and more whitespace when using longer unit designators.

Example

use jiff::{
    fmt::friendly::{Designator, Spacing, SpanPrinter},
    ToSpan,
};

let span = 1.year().months(2);

// The default tries to balance spacing with compact
// unit designators.
let printer = SpanPrinter::new();
assert_eq!(printer.span_to_string(&span), "1y 2mo");

// But you can use slightly more descriptive
// designators without being too verbose.
let printer = SpanPrinter::new()
    .designator(Designator::Short);
assert_eq!(printer.span_to_string(&span), "1yr 2mos");

// When spacing is removed, it usually looks nicer
// to use compact unit designators.
let printer = SpanPrinter::new()
    .spacing(Spacing::None)
    .designator(Designator::Compact);
assert_eq!(printer.span_to_string(&span), "1y2mo");

// Conversely, when using more spacing, it usually
// looks nicer to use verbose unit designators.
let printer = SpanPrinter::new()
    .spacing(Spacing::BetweenUnitsAndDesignators)
    .designator(Designator::Verbose);
assert_eq!(printer.span_to_string(&span), "1 year 2 months");

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.

None

Does not insert any ASCII whitespace.

Except in the case that SpanPrinter::hours_minutes_seconds is enabled and one is formatting a span with non-zero calendar units, then an ASCII whitespace is inserted between the calendar and non-calendar units even when Spacing::None is used.

BetweenUnits

Inserts one ASCII whitespace between the unit designator and the next unit value.

For example, 1year 2months.

BetweenUnitsAndDesignators

Inserts one ASCII whitespace between the unit value and the unit designator, in addition to inserting one ASCII whitespace between the unit designator and the next unit value.

For example, 1 year 2 months.
