Struct borrow_bag::BorrowBag

pub struct BorrowBag<V> { /* private fields */ }

BorrowBag allows the storage of any value using add(T), and returns a Handle which can be used to borrow the value back later. As the BorrowBag is add-only, Handle values remain valid for the lifetime of the BorrowBag.

After being added, the Handle can be passed to borrow(Handle), which will return a reference to the value.

Example

use borrow_bag::BorrowBag;

#[derive(PartialEq, Debug)]
struct X;

#[derive(PartialEq, Debug)]
struct Y;

#[derive(PartialEq, Debug)]
struct Z;

let bag = BorrowBag::new();
let (bag, x_handle) = bag.add(X);
let (bag, y_handle) = bag.add(Y);
let (bag, z_handle) = bag.add(Z);

let x: &X = bag.borrow(x_handle);
assert_eq!(x, &X);
let y: &Y = bag.borrow(y_handle);
assert_eq!(y, &Y);
let z: &Z = bag.borrow(z_handle);
assert_eq!(z, &Z);

// Can borrow multiple times using the same handle
let x: &X = bag.borrow(x_handle);
assert_eq!(x, &X);

Implementations

impl BorrowBag<()>

pub fn new() -> Self

Creates a new, empty BorrowBag.

impl<V> BorrowBag<V>

pub fn add<T>(self, t: T) -> (BorrowBag<V::Output>, Handle<T, V::Navigator>)where V: Append<T>,

Adds a value to the bag, and returns a tuple containing:

1. The new bag containing the added element; and
2. A Handle which can be used to retrieve the added element.

The trait bound is used to constrain and define the BorrowBag implementation, but is not intended to provide any restrictions on the value being added.

let bag = BorrowBag::new();
// Consumes the empty `bag`, and produces a new `bag` containing the value. The `handle`
// can be used to borrow the value back later.
let (bag, handle) = bag.add(15u8);

pub fn borrow<T, N>(&self, _handle: Handle<T, N>) -> &Twhere V: Lookup<T, N>,

Borrows a value previously added to the bag.

let i: &u8 = bag.borrow(handle);
assert_eq!(*i, 15);

Trait Implementations

impl<V: Default> Default for BorrowBag<V>

fn default() -> BorrowBag<V>

Returns the “default value” for a type.
