Struct minijinja::value::Value

source ·

pub struct Value(_);

Expand description

Represents a dynamically typed value in the template engine.

Implementations

source

impl Value

source

pub const UNDEFINED: Value = _

The undefined value

source

pub fn from_serializable<T: Serialize>(value: &T) -> Value

Creates a value from something that can be serialized.

This is the method that MiniJinja will generally use whenever a serializable object is passed to one of the APIs that internally want to create a value. For instance this is what context! and render will use.

During serialization of the value, serializing_for_value will return true which makes it possible to customize serialization for MiniJinja. For more information see serializing_for_value.

let val = Value::from_serializable(&vec![1, 2, 3]);

source

pub fn from_safe_string(value: String) -> Value

Creates a value from a safe string.

A safe string is one that will bypass auto escaping. For instance if you want to have the template engine render some HTML without the user having to supply the |safe filter, you can use a value of this type instead.

let val = Value::from_safe_string("<em>note</em>".into());

source

pub fn from_object<T: Object>(value: T) -> Value

Creates a value from a dynamic object.

For more information see Object.

use std::fmt;

#[derive(Debug)]
struct Thing {
    id: usize,
}

impl fmt::Display for Thing {
    fn fmt(&self, f: &mut fmt::Formatter<'_>) -> fmt::Result {
        fmt::Debug::fmt(self, f)
    }
}

impl Object for Thing {}

let val = Value::from_object(Thing { id: 42 });

Objects are internally reference counted. If you want to hold on to the Arc you can directly create the value from an arc’ed object:

use std::sync::Arc;
let val = Value::from(Arc::new(Thing { id: 42 }));

source

pub fn from_function<F, Rv, Args>(f: F) -> Valuewhere
 F: Function<Rv, Args> + for<'a> Function<Rv, <Args as FunctionArgs<'a>>::Output>,
 Rv: FunctionResult,
 Args: for<'a> FunctionArgs<'a>,

Creates a callable value from a function.

let pow = Value::from_function(|a: u32| a * a);

source

pub fn kind(&self) -> ValueKind

Returns the kind of the value.

This can be used to determine what’s in the value before trying to perform operations on it.

source

pub fn is_kwargs(&self) -> bool

Returns true if the map represents keyword arguments.

source

pub fn is_true(&self) -> bool

Is this value true?

source

pub fn is_safe(&self) -> bool

Returns true if this value is safe.

source

pub fn is_undefined(&self) -> bool

Returns true if this value is undefined.

source

pub fn is_none(&self) -> bool

Returns true if this value is none.

source

pub fn as_str(&self) -> Option<&str>

If the value is a string, return it.

source

pub fn as_bytes(&self) -> Option<&[u8]>

Returns the bytes of this value if they exist.

source

pub fn as_slice(&self) -> Result<&[Value], Error>

If the value is a sequence it’s returned as slice.

let seq = Value::from(vec![1u32, 2, 3, 4]);
let slice = seq.as_slice().unwrap();
assert_eq!(slice.len(), 4);

source

pub fn len(&self) -> Option<usize>

Returns the length of the contained value.

Values without a length will return None.

let seq = Value::from(vec![1, 2, 3, 4]);
assert_eq!(seq.len(), Some(4));

source

pub fn get_attr(&self, key: &str) -> Result<Value, Error>

Looks up an attribute by attribute name.

This this returns UNDEFINED when an invalid key is resolved. An error is returned when if the value does not contain an object that has attributes.

let ctx = minijinja::context! {
    foo => "Foo"
};
let value = ctx.get_attr("foo")?;
assert_eq!(value.to_string(), "Foo");

source

pub fn get_item_by_index(&self, idx: usize) -> Result<Value, Error>

Looks up an index of the value.

This is a shortcut for get_item.

let seq = Value::from(vec![0u32, 1, 2]);
let value = seq.get_item_by_index(1).unwrap();
assert_eq!(value.try_into().ok(), Some(1));

source

pub fn get_item(&self, key: &Value) -> Result<Value, Error>

Looks up an item (or attribute) by key.

This is similar to get_attr but instead of using a string key this can be any key. For instance this can be used to index into sequences. Like get_attr this returns UNDEFINED when an invalid key is looked up.

let ctx = minijinja::context! {
    foo => "Foo",
};
let value = ctx.get_item(&Value::from("foo")).unwrap();
assert_eq!(value.to_string(), "Foo");

source

pub fn try_iter(&self) -> Result<Iter<'_>, Error>

Iterates over the value.

Depending on the kind of the value the iterator has a different behavior.

ValueKind::Map: the iterator yields the keys of the map.
ValueKind::Seq: the iterator yields the items in the sequence.
ValueKind::None / ValueKind::Undefined: the iterator is empty.

let value = Value::from({
    let mut m = std::collections::BTreeMap::new();
    m.insert("foo", 42);
    m.insert("bar", 23);
    m
});
for key in value.try_iter()? {
    let value = value.get_item(&key)?;
    println!("{} = {}", key, value);
}

source

pub fn downcast_object_ref<T: Object>(&self) -> Option<&T>

Returns some reference to the boxed object if it is of type T, or None if it isn’t.

This is basically the “reverse” of from_object.

Example

use std::fmt;

#[derive(Debug)]
struct Thing {
    id: usize,
}

impl fmt::Display for Thing {
    fn fmt(&self, f: &mut fmt::Formatter<'_>) -> fmt::Result {
        fmt::Debug::fmt(self, f)
    }
}

impl Object for Thing {}

let x_value = Value::from_object(Thing { id: 42 });
let thing = x_value.downcast_object_ref::<Thing>().unwrap();
assert_eq!(thing.id, 42);
