Struct fst::automaton::Subsequence

pub struct Subsequence<'a> { /* fields omitted */ }

An automaton that matches if the input contains a specific subsequence.

It can be used to build a simple fuzzy-finder.

extern crate fst;

use std::error::Error;

use fst::{IntoStreamer, Streamer, Set};
use fst::automaton::Subsequence;

fn example() -> Result<(), Box<Error>> {
    let paths = vec!["/home/projects/bar", "/home/projects/foo", "/tmp/foo"];
    let set = Set::from_iter(paths)?;

    // Build our fuzzy query.
    let subseq = Subsequence::new("hpf");

    // Apply our fuzzy query to the set we built.
    let mut stream = set.search(subseq).into_stream();

    let matches = stream.into_strs()?;
    assert_eq!(matches, vec!["/home/projects/foo"]);
    Ok(())
}

Methods

impl<'a> Subsequence<'a>

pub fn new(subsequence: &'a str) -> Subsequence<'a>

Constructs automaton that matches input containing the specified subsequence.

Trait Implementations

impl<'a> Automaton for Subsequence<'a>

type State = usize

The type of the state used in the automaton.

fn start(&self) -> usize

Returns a single start state for this automaton.

fn is_match(&self, state: &usize) -> bool

Returns true if and only if state is a match state.

fn can_match(&self, _: &usize) -> bool

Returns true if and only if state can lead to a match in zero or more steps.

fn will_always_match(&self, state: &usize) -> bool

Returns true if and only if state matches and must match no matter what steps are taken.

fn accept(&self, state: &usize, byte: u8) -> usize

Return the next state given state and an input.

fn starts_with(self) -> StartsWith<Self> where     Self: Sized,

Returns an automaton that matches the strings that start with something this automaton matches.

fn union<Rhs: Automaton>(self, rhs: Rhs) -> Union<Self, Rhs> where     Self: Sized,

Returns an automaton that matches the strings matched by either this or the other automaton.

fn intersection<Rhs: Automaton>(self, rhs: Rhs) -> Intersection<Self, Rhs> where     Self: Sized,

Returns an automaton that matches the strings matched by both this and the other automaton.

fn complement(self) -> Complement<Self> where     Self: Sized,

Returns an automaton that matches the strings not matched by this automaton.
