/*!
Contains traits for parsing structured-field values incrementally.
These can be used to borrow data from the input without copies in some cases.
The various visitor methods are invoked *during* parsing, i.e. before validation
of the entire input is complete. Therefore, users of these traits should
carefully consider whether they want to induce side effects or perform expensive
operations *before* knowing whether the entire input is valid.
For example, it may make sense to defer storage of these values in a database
until after validation is complete, in order to avoid the need for rollbacks in
the event that a later error occurs. In this case, the visitor could retain the
relevant state in its fields, before using that state to perform the operation
*after* parsing is complete:
```
# use sfv::visitor::{Ignored, ItemVisitor, ParameterVisitor};
# use sfv::{BareItemFromInput, TokenRef};
# fn main() -> Result<(), sfv::Error> {
struct Visitor<'de> {
token: Option<&'de TokenRef>,
}
impl<'de> ItemVisitor<'de> for &mut Visitor<'de> {
type Error = std::convert::Infallible;
fn bare_item(self, bare_item: BareItemFromInput<'de>) -> Result<impl ParameterVisitor<'de>, Self::Error> {
self.token =
if let BareItemFromInput::Token(token) = bare_item {
Some(token)
} else {
None
};
Ok(Ignored)
}
}
let input = "abc";
let mut visitor = Visitor { token: None };
sfv::Parser::new(input).parse_item_with_visitor(&mut visitor)?;
// Use `visitor.token` to do something expensive or with side effects now that
// we know the entire input is valid.
# Ok(())
# }
```
# Discarding irrelevant parts
Two kinds of helpers are provided for silently discarding structured-field
parts:
- [`Ignored`]: This type implements all of the visitor traits as no-ops, and can
be used when a visitor implementation would unconditionally do nothing. An
example of this is when an item's bare item needs to be validated, but its
parameters do not (e.g. because the relevant field definition prescribes
none and permits unknown ones).
- Blanket implementations of [`ParameterVisitor`], [`ItemVisitor`],
[`EntryVisitor`], and [`InnerListVisitor`] for [`Option<V>`] where `V`
implements that trait: These implementations act like `Ignored` when `self` is
[`None`], and forward to `V`'s implementation when `self` is [`Some`]. These
can be used when the visitor dynamically handles or ignores field parts. An
example of this is when a field definition prescribes the format of certain
dictionary keys, but ignores unknown ones.
Note that the discarded parts are still validated during parsing: syntactic
errors in the input still cause parsing to fail even when these helpers are
used, [as required by RFC 9651](https://httpwg.org/specs/rfc9651.html#strict).
The following example demonstrates usage of both kinds of helpers:
```
# use sfv::{BareItemFromInput, KeyRef, Parser, visitor::*};
#[derive(Debug, Default, PartialEq)]
struct Point {
x: i64,
y: i64,
}
struct CoordVisitor<'a> {
coord: &'a mut i64,
}
impl<'de> DictionaryVisitor<'de> for Point {
type Error = std::convert::Infallible;
fn entry(
&mut self,
key: &'de KeyRef,
) -> Result<impl EntryVisitor<'de>, Self::Error>
{
let coord = match key.as_str() {
"x" => &mut self.x,
"y" => &mut self.y,
// Ignore this key by returning `None`. Its value will still be
// validated syntactically during parsing, but we don't need to
// visit it.
_ => return Ok(None),
};
// Visit this key's value by returning `Some`.
Ok(Some(CoordVisitor { coord }))
}
}
#[derive(Debug)]
struct NotAnInteger;
impl std::fmt::Display for NotAnInteger {
fn fmt(&self, f: &mut std::fmt::Formatter) -> std::fmt::Result {
f.write_str("must be an integer")
}
}
impl std::error::Error for NotAnInteger {}
impl<'de> ItemVisitor<'de> for CoordVisitor<'_> {
type Error = NotAnInteger;
fn bare_item(
self,
bare_item: BareItemFromInput<'de>,
) -> Result<impl ParameterVisitor<'de>, Self::Error> {
if let BareItemFromInput::Integer(v) = bare_item {
*self.coord = i64::from(v);
// Ignore the item's parameters by returning `Ignored`. The
// parameters will still be validated syntactically during parsing,
// but we don't need to visit them.
//
// We could return `None` instead to ignore the parameters only
// some of the time, returning `Some(visitor)` otherwise.
Ok(Ignored)
} else {
Err(NotAnInteger)
}
}
}
impl<'de> EntryVisitor<'de> for CoordVisitor<'_> {
fn inner_list(self) -> Result<impl InnerListVisitor<'de>, Self::Error> {
// Use `Never` to enforce at the type level that this method will only
// return `Err`, as our coordinate must be a single integer, not an
// inner list.
Err::<Never, _>(NotAnInteger)
}
}
# fn main() -> Result<(), sfv::Error> {
let mut point = Point::default();
Parser::new("x=10, z=abc, y=3").parse_dictionary_with_visitor(&mut point)?;
assert_eq!(point, Point { x: 10, y: 3 });
# Ok(())
# }
```
