Struct EntryTree 

pub struct EntryTree { /* private fields */ }

An in-memory tree of Entrys mirroring one config file.

Entries are addressed by id; nested entries use composite ids (outer:inner, see Entry::path). Entries without an explicit id get a random 6-character base36 id that is persisted on the next write-back.

Structural edits are serialized through an internal lock; individual reads (children, parent walks) take per-entry locks. EntryTree is not bound to any file — pairing it with a crate::LoaderFile is the caller’s (usually the loader’s) job.

Implementations

impl EntryTree

pub fn new() -> Self

Create an empty tree.

pub fn root(&self) -> &Entry

The synthetic root holding the top-level entries. It is addressed by the empty id and never returned by EntryTree::resolve.

pub fn top_level(&self) -> Vec<Entry>

Top-level entries in file order.

pub fn entries(&self) -> Vec<Entry>

All entries in depth-first order, parents before children.

pub fn resolve(&self, id: &str) -> Option<Entry>

Look an entry up by (possibly composite) id, e.g. group1:child2.

pub fn serialize(&self) -> Vec<EntryOptions>

Serialize the whole tree back to options, generated ids included.

pub fn create( &self, options: EntryOptions, parent: Option<&Entry>, position: Option<usize>, ) -> Result<Entry>

Create an entry below parent (the tree root when None) at position (appended when None). options.group seeds the child list for group entries. Returns the created entry.

pub fn remove(&self, id: &str) -> Result<Entry>

Detach the entry with the given id and return it with its subtree intact, so the loader can still stop the fibers inside it.

pub fn update_entry( &self, id: &str, options: EntryOptions, new_parent: Option<&Entry>, position: Option<usize>, ) -> Result<Entry>

Update one entry’s options and optionally move it below new_parent (appended unless position is given). The entry id is identity and survives the update; options.id is ignored. options.group re-syncs the entry’s children, reusing existing subtree entries whose ids match.

pub fn update(&self, entries: Vec<EntryOptions>) -> Result<TreeDiff>

Reload the whole tree from new options, reusing existing entries wherever ids match — including entries that moved between groups — and returning what changed.

Entries in the new data without an id cannot be matched and are always created fresh; persist generated ids by writing EntryTree::serialize back to the file.

Trait Implementations

impl Default for EntryTree

fn default() -> Self

Returns the “default value” for a type.
