# `iter-index` crate
This is a simple extension trait that provides a more flexible alternative to the iterator's method `enumerate()`. It allows to:
* use a custom type for the index with `index::<T>()`
* define a custom start value with `index_start::<T>(start: T)`
* define a custom step value with `index_step::<T>(start: T, step: T)`.
## Examples
```rust
use iter_index::IndexerIterator;
let mut map = HashMap::<u8, &str>::new();
for (k, v) in vec!["a", "b", "c"].into_iter().index() {
map.insert(k, v);
}
assert_eq!(map, HashMap::from([(0_u8, "a"), (1_u8, "b"), (2_u8, "c")]));
```
```rust
let items = vec!["a", "b", "c"];
let mut result = items.into_iter().index_start::<u8>(97);
assert_eq!(result.next(), Some((97_u8, "a")));
assert_eq!(result.next(), Some((98_u8, "b")));
assert_eq!(result.next(), Some((99_u8, "c")));
assert_eq!(result.next(), None);
```
```rust
let items = vec!["a", "b", "c"];
let mut result = items.into_iter().index_step::<u32>(100, 10);
assert_eq!(result.next(), Some((100_u32, "a")));
assert_eq!(result.next(), Some((110_u32, "b")));
assert_eq!(result.next(), Some((120_u32, "c")));
assert_eq!(result.next(), None);
```
