iter_columns

Iterate over columns easily. Works with Vecs, Slices and Arrays.

Array support is only available for Rust >=1.51.0, so you may need to use the no_array feature to compile this crate for older versions of Rust.

[dependencies]
iter_columns = { version = "0.2.1", features = ["no_array"] }

Examples

Consistent column length

use iter_columns::prelude::*;

fn main() {
    let test_data = vec![
        vec![1, 2, 3], 
        vec![4, 5, 6],
    ];
    
    assert_eq!(test_data.into_iter().columns().collect::<Vec<_>>(), [
        [1, 4],
        [2, 5],
        [3, 6],
    ]);
}

Inconsistent column length

use iter_columns::prelude::*;

fn main() {
    let test_data = vec![
        vec![1, 2],    // 2 columns
        vec![4, 5, 6], // 3 columns
    ];
    
    // you can also use iter() instead of into_iter()
    assert_eq!(test_data.iter().columns().collect::<Vec<_>>(), [
        vec![&1, &4],
        vec![&2, &5],
        vec![&6],
    ]);
}

Alternative for inconsistent column length

use iter_columns::prelude::*;

fn main() {
    let test_data = vec![
        vec![1, 2],
        vec![4, 5, 6],
    ];
    
    // use columns_options() instead of columns()
    assert_eq!(test_data.into_iter().columns_options().collect::<Vec<_>>(), [
        vec![Some(1), Some(4)],
        vec![Some(2), Some(5)],
        vec![None, Some(6)],
    ]);
}
