Crate splitmut [] [src]

SplitMut - a crate for safely retreiving multiple mutable values within the same collection.

get2_mut, get3_mut and get4_mut return a tuple or 2, 3 or 4 values, each one of them being one of Ok(&mut V), Err(SplitMutError::NoValue) in case there was no value for the key (i e, when your usual get_mut would have returned None), or Err(SplitMutError::SameValue) in case the same value has already been returned earlier in the tuple.

Example

use std::collections::HashMap;
use splitmut::{SplitMut, SplitMutError};
 
// Create a hashmap
let mut h = HashMap::new();
h.insert(1, "Hello");
h.insert(2, "world");

// Swap two values easily
{
    let (m1, m2) = h.get2_mut(&1, &2);
    std::mem::swap(m1.unwrap(), m2.unwrap());
}
assert_eq!(h.get(&1), Some(&"world"));
assert_eq!(h.get(&2), Some(&"Hello"));

// Show error handling
let (m0, m1a, m1b) = h.get3_mut(&0, &1, &1);
// No value for the key "0"
assert_eq!(m0, Err(SplitMutError::NoValue));
// First value for the key "1" is returned successfully
assert_eq!(m1a, Ok(&mut "world"));
// Second value for the key "1" returns an error
assert_eq!(m1b, Err(SplitMutError::SameValue));

Enums

SplitMutError

Error returned from get*_mut functions.

Traits

SplitMut

Just add use splitmut::SplitMut; to have these methods working on mutable slices, Vec, VecDeque, HashMap and BTreeMap.
