Struct once_cell::sync::Lazy

pub struct Lazy<T, F: Fn() -> T = fn() -> T> { /* fields omitted */ }

A value which is initialized on the first access.

Example

#[macro_use]
extern crate once_cell;

use std::collections::HashMap;
use once_cell::sync::Lazy;

static HASHMAP: Lazy<HashMap<i32, String>> = sync_lazy! {
    println!("initializing");
    let mut m = HashMap::new();
    m.insert(13, "Spica".to_string());
    m.insert(74, "Hoyten".to_string());
    m
};

fn main() {
    println!("ready");
    ::std::thread::spawn(|| {
        println!("{:?}", HASHMAP.get(&13));
    }).join().unwrap();
    println!("{:?}", HASHMAP.get(&74));

    // Prints:
    //   ready
    //   initializing
    //   Some("Spica")
    //   Some("Hoyten")
}

Methods

impl<T, F: Fn() -> T> Lazy<T, F>

pub fn new(f: F) -> Lazy<T, F>

Creates a new lazy value with the given initializing function.

pub fn force(this: &Lazy<T, F>) -> &T

Forces the evaluation of this lazy value and returns a reference to result. This is equivalent to the Deref impl, but is explicit.

Example

use once_cell::sync::Lazy;

let lazy = Lazy::new(|| 92);

assert_eq!(Lazy::force(&lazy), &92);
assert_eq!(&*lazy, &92);

Trait Implementations

impl<T: Debug, F: Debug + Fn() -> T> Debug for Lazy<T, F>

fn fmt(&self, f: &mut Formatter) -> Result

Formats the value using the given formatter.

impl<T, F: Fn() -> T> Deref for Lazy<T, F>

type Target = T

The resulting type after dereferencing.

fn deref(&self) -> &T

Dereferences the value.
