[][src]Struct peekmore::PeekMoreIterator

pub struct PeekMoreIterator<I: Iterator> { /* fields omitted */ }

This iterator makes it possible to peek multiple times without consuming a value. In reality the underlying iterator will be consumed, but the values will be stored in a local queue. This queue allows us to move around unconsumed elements (as far as the iterator is concerned).

Implementations

impl<I: Iterator> PeekMoreIterator<I>[src]

pub fn peek(&mut self) -> Option<&I::Item>[src]

Get a reference to the element where the cursor currently points at (if such element exists). Sometimes we also call this the current 'view'.

If we haven't advanced our cursor, that will be the same element as the one next() would return, but if we have moved our cursor, it will be the element we moved to instead. Note that the cursor can't ever point at an element (which existed) before the first unconsumed element within the iterator. In a sense the cursor moves independently within the iterator. But it will always stick to unconsumed elements.

The following illustration aims to show how peek() behaves. i represents the position of the iterator (i.e. the next value that will be returned if next() is called) and j represents the position of the cursor (i.e. the current element referenced if peek() is called). In example code next to the illustrations, the first element 1 is analogous to A, 2 to B etc.

  • start:
use peekmore::PeekMore;

// Initialize our iterator.
let iterable = [1, 2, 3, 4];
let mut iterator = iterable.iter().peekmore();
-----     -----      -----     -----
| A | --> | B |  --> | C | --> | D | --> None --> None --> ...
-----     -----      -----     -----
  ^
  i, j
  • call peek():
let j = iterator.peek();
assert_eq!(j, Some(&&1));
-----     -----      -----     -----
| A | --> | B |  --> | C | --> | D | --> None --> None --> ...
-----     -----      -----     -----
  ^
  i, j
     returns Some(&A)

  • call advance_cursor()
let iter = iterator.advance_cursor();
-----     -----      -----     -----
| A | --> | B |  --> | C | --> | D | --> None --> None --> ...
-----     -----      -----     -----
  ^         ^
  i         j
  • call peek() or peek(); peek() or peek(); peek(); peek() etc.

(The reference returned by peek() will not change, similar to the behaviour of core::iter::Peekable::peek. In order to move to the next peekable element, we need to advance our view.)

let j = iterator.peek();
assert_eq!(j, Some(&&2));

// Calling peek() multiple times doesn't shift the position of our cursor;
// a reference to the same element will be returned each call.
assert_eq!(iterator.peek(), Some(&&2));
assert_eq!(iterator.peek(), Some(&&2));
-----     -----      -----     -----
| A | --> | B |  --> | C | --> | D | --> None --> None --> ...
-----     -----      -----     -----
  ^         ^
  i         j
            returns Some(&B)
  • call next() (i.e. advance the iterator; the element represented by A will be consumed)
let i = iterator.next();
assert_eq!(i, Some(&1));
-----     -----      -----     -----
| A |     | B |  --> | C | --> | D | --> None --> None --> ...
-----     -----      -----     -----
            ^
            i, j
 returns Some(A)
  • call next(). (i.e. advance the iterator again; we'll see that the cursor position shifts to the next iterator position if the iterator consumes elements where our cursor pointed at previously (that is if j < i))
// Show that the cursor still points at the second element.
let j = iterator.peek();
assert_eq!(j, Some(&&2));

// Consume the second element.
let i = iterator.next();
assert_eq!(i, Some(&2));

// Our cursor previously pointed at the element represented by B. Since that element has
// been consumed, the cursor shifts to the next unconsumed element: C.
let j = iterator.peek();
assert_eq!(j, Some(&&3));

-----     -----      -----     -----
| A |     | B |      | C | --> | D | --> None --> None --> ...
-----     -----      -----     -----
                       ^
                       i, j
          returns Some(B)
  • Consume more elements by calling next() until we reach None:
let i = iterator.next();
assert_eq!(i, Some(&3));

let j = iterator.peek();
assert_eq!(j, Some(&&4));

let i = iterator.next();
assert_eq!(i, Some(&4));

let j = iterator.peek();
assert_eq!(j, None);

let i = iterator.next();
assert_eq!(i, None);

pub fn peek_next(&mut self) -> Option<&I::Item>[src]

Advance the cursor to the next element and return a reference to that value.

pub fn peek_previous(&mut self) -> Result<Option<&I::Item>, PeekMoreError>[src]

Try to peek at a previous element. If no such element exists (i.e. our cursor is already at the same point as the next iterator element), it will return an Err result containing a PeekMoreError::ElementHasBeenConsumed. If a previous element does exist, an option wrapped in an Ok result will be returned.

pub fn peek_forward(&mut self, n: usize) -> Option<&I::Item>[src]

Move the cursor n steps forward and peek at the element the cursor then points to.

pub fn peek_backward(
    &mut self,
    n: usize
) -> Result<Option<&I::Item>, PeekMoreError>
[src]

Move the cursor n steps backward and peek at the element the cursor then points to.

If there aren't n elements prior to the element the cursor currently points at, a PeekMoreError::ElementHasBeenConsumed is returned instead. The cursor will then stay at the position it was prior to calling this method.

If you want to peek at the first unconsumed element instead of returning with an error, you can use the peek_backward_or_first method instead of this one.

pub fn peek_backward_or_first(&mut self, n: usize) -> Option<&I::Item>[src]

Move the cursor n steps backward and peek at the element the cursor then points to, or if there aren't n elements prior to the element the cursor currently points to, peek at the first unconsumed element instead.

pub fn peek_nth(&mut self, n: usize) -> Option<&I::Item>[src]

Peek at the nth element without moving the cursor.

pub fn advance_cursor(&mut self) -> &mut PeekMoreIterator<I>

Notable traits for PeekMoreIterator<I>

impl<'a, I: Iterator> Iterator for PeekMoreIterator<I> type Item = I::Item;
[src]

Move the cursor to the next peekable element. This does not advance the iterator itself. To advance the iterator, use Iterator::next().

A mutable reference to the iterator is returned. This operation can be chained.

pub fn advance_cursor_by(&mut self, n: usize) -> &mut PeekMoreIterator<I>

Notable traits for PeekMoreIterator<I>

impl<'a, I: Iterator> Iterator for PeekMoreIterator<I> type Item = I::Item;
[src]

Move the cursor n elements forward. This does not advance the iterator itself. To advance the iterator, use Iterator::next().

pub fn advance_cursor_while<P: Fn(Option<&I::Item>) -> bool>(
    &mut self,
    predicate: P
) -> &mut PeekMoreIterator<I>

Notable traits for PeekMoreIterator<I>

impl<'a, I: Iterator> Iterator for PeekMoreIterator<I> type Item = I::Item;
[src]

Moves the cursor forward for as many elements as a predicate is true.

pub fn move_cursor_back(
    &mut self
) -> Result<&mut PeekMoreIterator<I>, PeekMoreError>
[src]

Move the cursor to the previous peekable element. If such an element doesn't exist, returns a PeekMoreError::ElementHasBeenConsumed.

If we can move to a previous element, a mutable reference to the iterator, wrapped in the Ok variant of Result will be returned.

pub fn move_cursor_back_by(
    &mut self,
    n: usize
) -> Result<&mut PeekMoreIterator<I>, PeekMoreError>
[src]

Move the cursor n elements backward. If there aren't n unconsumed elements prior to the cursor it will return an error. In case of an error, the cursor will stay at the position it pointed at prior to calling this method.

If you want to reset the cursor to the first unconsumed element even if there aren't n unconsumed elements before the position the cursor points at, you can use the move_backward_or_reset method instead.

pub fn move_cursor_back_or_reset(
    &mut self,
    n: usize
) -> &mut PeekMoreIterator<I>

Notable traits for PeekMoreIterator<I>

impl<'a, I: Iterator> Iterator for PeekMoreIterator<I> type Item = I::Item;
[src]

Move the cursor n elements backward or reset to the first non consumed element if we can't move the cursor n elements to the back.

pub fn move_nth(&mut self, n: usize) -> &mut PeekMoreIterator<I>

Notable traits for PeekMoreIterator<I>

impl<'a, I: Iterator> Iterator for PeekMoreIterator<I> type Item = I::Item;
[src]

Move the cursor to the n-th element of the queue.

pub fn reset_view(&mut self)[src]

👎 Deprecated

Deprecated: use reset_cursor instead.

pub fn reset_cursor(&mut self)[src]

Reset the position of the cursor. If we call peek just after a reset, it will return a reference to the first element again.

pub fn truncate_iterator_to_cursor(&mut self)[src]

Remove all elements from the start of the iterator until reaching the same position as the cursor by calling Iterator::next()

After calling this method, iter.peek() == iter.next().as_ref()

 use peekmore::PeekMore;

 let iterable = [1, 2, 3, 4];
 let mut iter = iterable.iter().peekmore();

 iter.advance_cursor_by(2);
 assert_eq!(iter.peek(), Some(&&3));
 assert_eq!(iter.next(), Some(&1));
 iter.truncate_iterator_to_cursor();
 assert_eq!(iter.peek(), Some(&&3));
 assert_eq!(iter.next(), Some(&3));
