How write line with justification on the same line ?

[mazero]

Hello,

How write a line with justification on the left (ex. quantity, product title) and on the same line but with a justification on the right the price ?
When i use setjustification & writeline that's alaways make a break line.

Ex
this.ticket.forEach((product) => { print .setJustification('left').writeLine(${product.quantity}x ${product.title}).setJustification('right').writeLine(${product.price}); });

You cannot do that.

You can only justify the same line with one property: left, right or middle, but will apply for all the line.

To do what you want, you must "build" you line with spaces in the right places, and know the width of the paper.

Example: for a printer with 48 cols

const unitsText = 'uds'.padEnd(3);
const nameText = 'description'.padEnd(22);
const priceText = 'price'.padStart(10);
const totalText = 'amount'.padStart(10);
this.printService
  .setJustification('left')
  .writeLine(unitsText + ' ' + nameText + ' ' + priceText + ' ' + totalText)
  .writeLine(''.padStart(48, '-'));

That's works. Thanks

Another little hitch, do you have a solution for products with long product names? I have customers who have products with long names (i.e. lots of characters) and this shifts the price.

Does anyone have a tip?
Thanks in advance.

There is not, exactly, a "solution" for this kind of problem. If the name is too long... it's too long. You can "short" it to a fixed length to avoid shifting.
