jabba-lib

A simple utility library for Rust. Its API was mainly inspired by the Python programming language.

Some examples

console

use jabba_lib::jconsole;

fn main() {
    let name = jconsole::input("Name: ");
    let name = name.trim();
    println!("Hello {}!", name);
}

random

use jabba_lib::jrandom;

fn main() {
    let number = jrandom::randrange(1, 10);  // 10 is excluded
    println!("random number from [1, 10): {}", number);

    let number = jrandom::randint(1, 100);  // 100 is included
    println!("random number from [1, 100]: {}", number);

    let mut numbers = vec![1, 2, 3, 4, 5];
    jrandom::shuffle(&mut numbers);
    println!("shuffled: {:?}", numbers);  // could be [3, 5, 1, 4, 2]
}

string

use jabba_lib::jstring;

fn main() {
    let name = "Dave";
    let reversed = jstring::str_rev(name);  // evaD

    let name = "anna";
    println!("{} is palindrome: {}", name, jstring::is_palindrome(name));
}

clipboard

Supported platforms: Linux (with X server), Windows.

Under Linux you must have the program xsel installed. You can install it with your package manager.

Under Linux, the text is pasted on both clipboards (to "primary" and "clipboard").

let text = "hello";

jabba_lib::jclipboard::check();  // verify if your platform is supported

jabba_lib::jclipboard::set_text(text).unwrap();
println!("The text {:?} was pasted on the clipboard", text);

let read = jabba_lib::jclipboard::get_text().unwrap();
println!("Contents of the clipboard: {:?}", read);

assert_eq!(read, text);
