Struct Matcher 

pub struct Matcher<'a> { /* private fields */ }

Matcher for determining if references share the same primary contributors.

Uses the style’s substitution configuration to determine which contributor (author, editor, translator) should be used for comparison.

Implementations

impl<'a> Matcher<'a>

pub fn new(style: &'a Style, config: &'a Config, locale: &'a Locale) -> Self

Build a matcher from the active style, effective configuration, and locale.

pub fn contributors_match(&self, prev: &Reference, current: &Reference) -> bool

Check if primary contributors (authors/editors) match between two references.

Delegates to the shared effective-primary resolver ([crate::values::contributor::substitute::effective_primary_names]) so matching honors type overrides and merged-role candidates identically to rendering, sorting, and disambiguation. Two references match only when both resolve non-empty, equal name lists; a title-substitute result (empty names) never matches.
