[−][src]Crate shoogah
shoogah is a crate with all sorts of syntactic sugar for Rust. Many of the
items are inspired from the goodness of other languages, especially Groovy.
Some operations require an expanded notion of what is true and what is false.
In these cases, we make use of the AsBool trait. Any type that implements
AsBool, will work with shoogah.
Easy HashMap literals with the hml! macro
Define a std::collections::HashMap via a simple literal.
let my_map = hml! [
"a": 1,
"b": 2,
"c": 1 + 2,
];In this example, my_map is of type std::collections::HashMap<&str, i32>.
To create an empty map:
let mut my_map = hml![:];
my_map.insert("a", 1);Note that in the case of an empty map declaration like this one, only after you insert an entry will the map have its type inferred. So if you try to use the empty map before inserting any entries, you'll get a compiler error. If your use case requires the empty map, add type annotations to the left hand side like this:
use std::collections::HashMap;
let mut my_map: HashMap<&str, u8> = hml![:];Map keys can be identifiers (variable names) or lietrals like 1 or "Hello".
Map values can be any type of expression.
Compact conditional expressions with the cxp! macro
let x = "";
let username = cxp!{ (x) ? (x) : ("Bytor") }; // username assigned "Bytor"Given how complex expressions can be, the parentheses are required.
Elvis says: "Don't Repeat Yourself"; elv! macro
let x = "Cygnus";
let username = elv!{ (x) ?: ("Bytor") }; // username remains "Cygnus"Elvis says: "Don't Repeat Yourself... again"; ela! macro
If the assigned-to variable is the condition being tested, the Elvis assignment macro (ela!) is for you.
let mut username = "";
ela!{ username ?= "Bytor" }; // username is now "Bytor"Simple increment and decrement with the suf! macro
let mut x = 1;
assert_eq!(2, suf!{ x++ });
assert_eq!(1, suf!{ x-- });Collect common field values from an Iterator with the spr! macro
#[derive(Clone)]
struct Address<'a> {
country: &'a str,
}
#[derive(Clone)]
struct Customer<'c> {
name: &'c str,
address: Address<'c>,
}
let customers = vec![
Customer{ name: "Carlos", address: Address{ country: "Spain" }},
Customer{ name: "Johnathan", address: Address{ country: "United Kingdom" }},
Customer{ name: "Enzo", address: Address{ country: "Italy" }},
];
let countries: Vec<_> = spr! { (customers)*.address*.country };
assert_eq!(vec!["Spain", "United Kingdom", "Italy"], countries);Note that the operation requires collections that implement Iterator and
items that implement Clone, given they are moved out of the original. Also
note that parentheses are required for the first expression, allowing for
chaining and literals as the initial collection.
String interpolation with sin!
// Normal string literal, no inner quotes (") allowed.
let mut msg = sin!{ "1 + 1 = ${ 1 + 1 }" };
assert_eq!("1 + 1 = 2", msg);
// Raw string literal, inner quotes (") are allowed.
msg = sin!{ r#"Hello, ${ "World!" }"# };
assert_eq!("Hello, World!", msg);Expressions within the ${} can be almost anything except something containing
a closing brace }.
Boolean coercion with boo!
let x = 1; let y = 0;
assert_eq!(true, boo!{ x });
assert_eq!(false, boo!{ y });Here we make use of the rules for what's true or false from the AsBool trait.
It's all still Rust under the hood
All these macros expand into normal Rust code, so the usual syntax and type requirements will apply to variable names, literals, and expressions that you use.
Macros
| boo | Boolean coercion |
| cxp | Express an if/else in a shorthand manner. This is sometimes called the ternary operator in other languages. |
| ela | When the assigned-to variable is the condition being tested, Elvis assign (ela!) can help even more. |
| elv | When the main result of an if/else is the same as the tested condition, Elvis (elv!) is here to help. |
| hml | Define a |
| sin | String interpolation. |
| spr | Collect common field values from an |
| suf | Incrementing or decrementing by 1. |
