//! # Chronofold //! //! Chronofold is a conflict-free replicated data structure (a.k.a. *CRDT*) for //! versioned text. //! //! This crate aims to offer a fast implementation with an easy-to-use //! `Vec`-like API. It should be near impossible to shoot yourself in the foot //! and end up with corrupted or lost data. //! //! **Note:** We are not there yet! While this implementation should be //! correct, it is not yet optimized for speed and memory usage. The API might //! see some changes as we continue to explore different use cases. //! //! This implementation is based on ideas published in the paper ["Chronofold: //! a data structure for versioned text"][paper] by Victor Grishchenko and //! Mikhail Patrakeev. If you look for a formal introduction to what a //! chronofold is, reading that excellent paper is highly recommended! //! //! [paper]: https://arxiv.org/abs/2002.09511 //! //! # Example usage //! //! ```rust //! use chronofold::{Chronofold, LogIndex, Op}; //! //! type AuthorId = &'static str; //! //! // Alice creates a chronofold on her machine, makes some initial changes //! // and sends a copy to Bob. //! let mut cfold_a = Chronofold::<AuthorId, char>::default(); //! cfold_a.session("alice").extend("Hello chronfold!".chars()); //! let mut cfold_b = cfold_a.clone(); //! //! // Alice adds some more text, ... //! let ops_a: Vec<Op<AuthorId, char>> = { //! let mut session = cfold_a.session("alice"); //! session.splice( //! LogIndex(15)..LogIndex(15), //! " - a data structure for versioned text".chars(), //! ); //! session.iter_ops().map(Op::cloned).collect() //! }; //! //! // ... while Bob fixes a typo. //! let ops_b: Vec<Op<AuthorId, char>> = { //! let mut session = cfold_b.session("bob"); //! session.insert_after(Some(LogIndex(10)), 'o'); //! session.iter_ops().map(Op::cloned).collect() //! }; //! //! // Now their respective states have diverged. //! assert_eq!( //! "Hello chronfold - a data structure for versioned text!", //! format!("{}", cfold_a), //! ); //! assert_eq!("Hello chronofold!", format!("{}", cfold_b)); //! //! // As soon as both have seen all ops, their states have converged. //! for op in ops_a { //! cfold_b.apply(op).unwrap(); //! } //! for op in ops_b { //! cfold_a.apply(op).unwrap(); //! } //! let final_text = "Hello chronofold - a data structure for versioned text!"; //! assert_eq!(final_text, format!("{}", cfold_a)); //! assert_eq!(final_text, format!("{}", cfold_b)); //! ``` // As we only have a handful of public items, we've decided to re-export // everything in the crate root and keep our internal module structure // private. This keeps things simple for our users and gives us more // flexibility in restructuring the crate. mod distributed; mod error; mod index; mod iter; mod offsetmap; mod rangemap; mod session; mod version; pub use crate::distributed::*; pub use crate::error::*; pub use crate::index::*; pub use crate::iter::*; pub use crate::session::*; pub use crate::version::*; use std::fmt; use std::matches; use crate::index::{IndexShift, RelativeNextIndex, RelativeReference}; use crate::offsetmap::{Offset, OffsetMap}; use crate::rangemap::RangeFromMap; #[cfg(feature = "serde")] #[macro_use] extern crate serde; /// An entry in the chronofold's log. #[derive(PartialEq, Eq, Clone, Debug)] #[cfg_attr(feature = "serde", derive(Serialize, Deserialize), serde(untagged))] pub enum Change<T> { Insert(T), Delete, } impl<T> Change<T> { /// Converts from `&Change<T>` to `Change<&T>`. pub fn as_ref(&self) -> Change<&T> { use Change::*; match *self { Insert(ref x) => Insert(x), Delete => Delete, } } } impl<T: Clone> Change<&T> { /// Maps a Change<&T> to a Change<T> by cloning its contents. pub fn cloned(self) -> Change<T> { use Change::*; match self { Insert(x) => Insert(x.clone()), Delete => Delete, } } } /// A conflict-free replicated data structure for versioned sequences. /// /// # Terminology /// /// A chronofold can be regarded either as a log of changes or as a sequence of /// elements.
