rovv

rovv is a crate to provide anonymous row type, which fields can be access by lens-rs

Example

A row with field a: String

fn with_field_a(r: row! { a: String, .. }) -> String {
    r.view(optics!(a))
}

fn to_field_a() -> row! { a: String, .. } {
    Bar {
        a: "this is Bar".to_string(),
        c: 0,
    }
}

let foo = Foo {
    a: "this is Foo".to_string(),
    b: (),
};
let bar = Bar {
    a: "this is Bar".to_string(),
    c: 0,
};

assert_eq!(with_field_a(foo.clone()).as_str(), "this is Foo");
assert_eq!(with_field_a(bar.clone()).as_str(), "this is Bar");

A row may have field Some: String

row! { Some: String?, .. }
dyn_row! { Some: String?, .. } // dynamic version of row!

A row have multiple fields _mapped: String

row! { _mapped: String*, .. }
dyn_row! { _mapped: String*, .. }

A row with a mutable or immutable field:

row! { ref a: A, mut b: B, .. }
dyn_row! { ref a: A, mut b: B, .. }

A row bound by lifetimes 'a

row! { <'a> ref a: A, mut b: B, .. }
dyn_row! { <'a> ref a: A, mut b: B, .. }

In fact,

  • row! { <'a> ref a: A, mut b: B, c: C, .. } is impl LensRef<Optic![a], Image = A> + LensMut<Optic![b], Image = B> + Lens<Optic![c], Image = C> + 'a
  • dyn_row! { <'a> ref a: A, mut b: B, c: C, .. } is dyn LensRef<Optic![a], Image = A> + LensMut<Optic![b], Image = B> + Lens<Optic![c], Image = C> + 'a

There are some magic in dyn_row!, so please don't forget
