Crate keylist

Map like wrapper around a list with tuple pairs. Inspired by Elixir's Keyword lists.

Because it is just a list with tuples, keys can be anything that can be put in a tuple. Also means that getting a value is not efficient.

For something more usefull and quite similar take a look at: https://docs.rs/multimap

use keylist::Keylist;

let mut keylist = Keylist::from(vec![("a", 5), ("b", 2), ("a", 1)]);

assert_eq!(keylist.get(&"a"), Some(&5));

keylist.sort_by_value();

assert_eq!(keylist.get(&"a"), Some(&1));

keylist.push("z", 26);

assert_eq!(keylist.get(&"z"), Some(&26));

keylist.insert(1, "z", 2);

assert_eq!(keylist.get(&"z"), Some(&2));

assert_eq!(keylist.get_all(&"z"), vec![&2, &26]);

assert_eq!(keylist.get_key_value(&"b"), Some(&("b", 2)));

let mut swapped_keylist = keylist.into_swapped();

assert_eq!(swapped_keylist.get(&2), Some(&"z"));

assert_eq!(swapped_keylist.get_all(&2), vec![&"z", &"b"]);

swapped_keylist.sort();

assert_eq!(swapped_keylist.get_all(&2), vec![&"b", &"z"]);

swapped_keylist.extend(vec![(3, "b"), (2, "g")]);

assert_eq!(swapped_keylist.get_all(&2), vec![&"b", &"z", &"g"]);

Convert keylist to map and back:

use std::collections::HashMap;
use std::iter::FromIterator;
use keylist::Keylist;

let keylist = Keylist::from(vec![("a", 5), ("b", 2), ("c", 1)]);

let mut map = HashMap::new();
map.extend(vec![("a", 5), ("b", 2), ("c", 1)]);

let map_from_keylist = HashMap::from_iter(keylist.clone());
let mut keylist_from_map = Keylist::from_iter(map.clone());
keylist_from_map.sort();

assert_eq!(map, map_from_keylist);
assert_eq!(keylist, keylist_from_map);

Arbitrary example:

use keylist::Keylist;

let mut keylist = Keylist::new();
keylist.push(vec![3.12, 0.12], "a");
keylist.push(vec![0.1235, 34.121551], "c");

assert_eq!(keylist.get(&vec![0.1235, 34.121551]), Some(&"c"));
