Bytey

Bytey provides a convenient and easy to use byte storage.

Installation

To start using this crate all you have to do is add it to your Cargo.toml:

[dependencies]
bytey = "0.1.0"

Usage

use bytey::ByteBuffer;

fn main() {
let mut buffer = ByteBuffer::new().unwrap();

let value1: u16 = 1234;
let value2: i32 = -2000;
let value3: usize = usize::MAX;

// The buffer will resize itself to fit all the values
buffer.write(&value1);
buffer.write(&value2);
buffer.write(&value3);

// When you write a value to the buffer, the cursor will move along
// So if we want to read the values we just put in, we have to move it back to 0
buffer.move_cursor(0);

// Read and print the values stored inside the buffer
println!("{}", buffer.read::<u16>().unwrap());
println!("{}", buffer.read::<i32>().unwrap());
println!("{}", buffer.read::<usize>().unwrap());
}

Any value written to the ByteBuffer will have to implement the ByteBufferWrite trait. By default, this trait is implemented on all numerical primitives(u8, u16, i8, i16, etc...).

Reading a type from the ByteBuffer requires that type to implement the ByteBufferRead trait, this has also been implemented by default on all numeral primitives.

If you would like to see more default implementations of these traits let me know in an issue on GitHub!
