`repr()` can be used to convert a python object into a source code representation of the object, but this does not work for every type.
Here are some examples:
```pycon
>>> repr(int)
"<class 'int'>"
>>> from enum import Enum
>>> E = Enum("E", ["a", "b"])
>>> repr(E.a)
'<E.a: 1>'
```
`customize_repr` can be used to overwrite the default `repr()` behaviour.
The implementation for `Enum` looks like this:
``` python exec="1" result="python"
print('--8<-- "src/inline_snapshot/_code_repr.py:Enum"')
```
This implementation is then used by inline-snapshot if `repr()` is called during the code generation, but not in normal code.
<!-- inline-snapshot: create fix first_block outcome-passed=1 -->
``` python
from inline_snapshot import snapshot
from enum import Enum
def test_enum():
E = Enum("E", ["a", "b"])
# normal repr
assert repr(E.a) == "<E.a: 1>"
# the special implementation to convert the Enum into a code
assert E.a == snapshot(E.a)
```
## built-in data types
inline-snapshot comes with a special implementation for the following types:
``` python exec="1"
from inline_snapshot._code_repr import code_repr_dispatch, code_repr
for name, obj in sorted(
(
getattr(
obj, "_inline_snapshot_name", f"{obj.__module__}.{obj.__qualname__}"
),
obj,
)
for obj in code_repr_dispatch.registry.keys()
):
if obj is not object:
print(f"- `{name}`")
```
Please open an [issue](https://github.com/15r10nk/inline-snapshot/issues) if you found a built-in type which is not supported by inline-snapshot.
!!! note
Container types like `dict`, `list`, `tuple` or `dataclass` are handled in a different way, because inline-snapshot also needs to inspect these types to implement [unmanaged](/eq_snapshot.md#unmanaged-snapshot-values) snapshot values.
## customize recursive repr
You can also use `repr()` inside `__repr__()`, if you want to make your own type compatible with inline-snapshot.
<!-- inline-snapshot: create fix first_block outcome-passed=1 -->
``` python
from inline_snapshot import snapshot
from enum import Enum
class Pair:
def __init__(self, a, b):
self.a = a
self.b = b
def __repr__(self):
# this would not work
# return f"Pair({self.a!r}, {self.b!r})"
# you have to use repr()
return f"Pair({repr(self.a)}, {repr(self.b)})"
def __eq__(self, other):
if not isinstance(other, Pair):
return NotImplemented
return self.a == other.a and self.b == other.b
def test_enum():
E = Enum("E", ["a", "b"])
# the special repr implementation is used recursive here
# to convert every Enum to the correct representation
assert Pair(E.a, [E.b]) == snapshot(Pair(E.a, [E.b]))
```
!!! note
using `#!python f"{obj!r}"` or `#!c PyObject_Repr()` will not work, because inline-snapshot replaces `#!python builtins.repr` during the code generation. The only way to use the custom repr implementation is to use the `repr()` function.
!!! note
This implementation allows inline-snapshot to use the custom `repr()` recursively, but it does not allow you to use [unmanaged](/eq_snapshot.md#unmanaged-snapshot-values) snapshot values like `#!python Pair(Is(some_var),5)`
you can also customize the representation of data types in other libraries:
``` python
from inline_snapshot import customize_repr
from other_lib import SomeType
@customize_repr
def _(value: SomeType):
return f"SomeType(x={repr(value.x)})"
```
