See ``formatter<tm>::parse`` in +:file:`fmt/time.h` for an advanced example of how to parse the format string and +customize the formatted output. + +You can also reuse existing formatters, for example:: + + enum class color {red, green, blue}; + + template <> + struct fmt::formatter<color>: formatter<string_view> { + // parse is inherited from formatter<string_view>. + template <typename FormatContext> + auto format(color c, FormatContext &ctx) { + string_view name = "unknown"; + switch (c) { + case color::red: name = "red"; break; + case color::green: name = "green"; break; + case color::blue: name = "blue"; break; + } + return formatter<string_view>::format(name, ctx); + } + }; + +You can also write a formatter for a hierarchy of classes:: + + #include <type_traits> + #include <fmt/format.h> + + struct A { + virtual ~A() {} + virtual std::string name() const { return "A"; } + }; + + struct B : A { + virtual std::string name() const { return "B"; } + }; + + template <typename T> + struct fmt::formatter<T, std::enable_if_t<std::is_base_of<A, T>::value, char>> : + fmt::formatter<std::string> { + template <typename FormatCtx> + auto format(const A& a, FormatCtx& ctx) { + return fmt::formatter<std::string>::format(a.name(), ctx); + } + }; + + int main() { + B b; + A& a = b; + fmt::print("{}", a); // prints "B" + } + +This section shows how to define a custom format function for a user-defined +type.
