Subject: [Haskell-beginners] How to use Text.Printf w/ custom types
Message-ID: <20171124143049.2cae557e@Pavel>
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII
Hello All!
As I understand to use Text.Printf.printf with custom types or to
return result as Text instead of String I must implement some
class instances: PrintfType, PrintfArg. But how to do this if they are
exported from module as type-names only - without its methods (i.e. not
"Printf (..)", but "Printf") ?
I tried to import Text.Printf.Internal but seems that no such
submodule...
Any ideas?
===
Best regards, Paul

According to
https://hackage.haskell.org/package/base-4.10.0.0/docs/Text-Printf.html#g:2,
you only need to implement `PrintfArg`. There is also an example for `()`.

Which methods?
Just doing this should be sufficient:
```
instance PrintfArg YourType where
formatArg _ _ = Text.pack "It works (well, nearly)"
```

It appears PrintfArg and its methods are fully exported.
