Implementations

impl<'a> CharsCowsAuto<'a>

pub fn from_iter_and_data<I>( iter: I, data: Cow<'a, [u8]>, ) -> Result<Self, StringTapeError>

where I: IntoIterator + Clone, I::Item: AsRef<str>,

Creates the most memory-efficient CharsCows based on data size and max word length.

Examples

use stringtape::CharsCowsAuto;
use std::borrow::Cow;

let data = "hello world";
let cows = CharsCowsAuto::from_iter_and_data(
    data.split_whitespace(),
    Cow::Borrowed(data.as_bytes())
).unwrap();

// Automatically picks CharsCows<u32, u8> for small data
assert_eq!(cows.len(), 2);

Creates the most memory-efficient CharsCows using a two-pass strategy.

First pass scans to find the maximum word length, then second pass builds with optimal types. Requires Clone iterator for memory efficiency.

Examples

use stringtape::CharsCowsAuto;
use std::borrow::Cow;

let data = "hello world";
let cows = CharsCowsAuto::from_iter_and_data(
    data.split_whitespace(),  // Clone iterator
    Cow::Borrowed(data.as_bytes())
).unwrap();

assert_eq!(cows.len(), 2);

pub fn len(&self) -> usize

Returns the number of cows.

pub fn is_empty(&self) -> bool

Returns true if the collection contains no cows.

pub fn get(&self, index: usize) -> Option<&str>

Returns a reference to the string at the given index.

pub fn bytes_per_entry(&self) -> usize

Returns the byte size per entry for the selected type combination.

pub fn type_name(&self) -> &'static str

Returns a string describing the selected type combination.

pub fn iter(&self) -> CharsCowsAutoIter<'_>

Returns an iterator over the string cows.

Examples

use stringtape::CharsCowsAuto;
use std::borrow::Cow;

let data = "hello world foo";
let cows = CharsCowsAuto::from_iter_and_data(
    data.split_whitespace(),
    Cow::Borrowed(data.as_bytes())
).unwrap();

let words: Vec<&str> = cows.iter().collect();
assert_eq!(words, vec!["hello", "world", "foo"]);

pub fn sort(&mut self)

Sorts the slices in-place using the default string comparison.

This is a stable sort that preserves the order of equal elements.

Examples

use stringtape::CharsCowsAuto;
use std::borrow::Cow;

let data = "zebra apple banana";
let mut cows = CharsCowsAuto::from_iter_and_data(
    data.split_whitespace(),
    Cow::Borrowed(data.as_bytes())
).unwrap();

cows.sort();
let sorted: Vec<&str> = cows.iter().collect();
assert_eq!(sorted, vec!["apple", "banana", "zebra"]);

pub fn sort_unstable(&mut self)

Sorts the slices in-place using an unstable sorting algorithm.

This is faster than stable sort but may not preserve the order of equal elements.

pub fn sort_by<F>(&mut self, compare: F)

where F: FnMut(&str, &str) -> Ordering,

Sorts the slices in-place using a custom comparison function.

Examples

use stringtape::CharsCowsAuto;
use std::borrow::Cow;

let data = "aaa bb c";
let mut cows = CharsCowsAuto::from_iter_and_data(
    data.split_whitespace(),
    Cow::Borrowed(data.as_bytes())
).unwrap();

// Sort by length, then alphabetically
cows.sort_by(|a, b| a.len().cmp(&b.len()).then(a.cmp(b)));
let sorted: Vec<&str> = cows.iter().collect();
assert_eq!(sorted, vec!["c", "bb", "aaa"]);

pub fn sort_by_key<K, F>(&mut self, f: F)

where F: FnMut(&str) -> K, K: Ord,

Sorts the slices in-place using a key extraction function.

Examples

use stringtape::CharsCowsAuto;
use std::borrow::Cow;

let data = "aaa bb c";
let mut cows = CharsCowsAuto::from_iter_and_data(
    data.split_whitespace(),
    Cow::Borrowed(data.as_bytes())
).unwrap();

// Sort by string length
cows.sort_by_key(|s| s.len());
let sorted: Vec<&str> = cows.iter().collect();
assert_eq!(sorted, vec!["c", "bb", "aaa"]);

pub fn data(&self) -> &[u8]

Returns a reference to the underlying data buffer.

Examples

use stringtape::CharsCowsAuto;
use std::borrow::Cow;

let data = "hello world";
let cows = CharsCowsAuto::from_iter_and_data(
    data.split_whitespace(),
    Cow::Borrowed(data.as_bytes())
).unwrap();

assert_eq!(cows.data(), b"hello world");

pub fn parent(&self) -> &str

Returns a reference to the parent string that all slices reference.

Examples

use stringtape::CharsCowsAuto;
use std::borrow::Cow;

let data = "hello world";
let cows = CharsCowsAuto::from_iter_and_data(
    data.split_whitespace(),
    Cow::Borrowed(data.as_bytes())
).unwrap();

assert_eq!(cows.parent(), "hello world");

pub fn as_bytes(&self) -> BytesCowsAuto<'_>

Returns a zero-copy view of this CharsCowsAuto as a BytesCowsAuto.

This is a no-cost operation that reinterprets the string collection as bytes without copying or moving any data.

Examples

use stringtape::CharsCowsAuto;
use std::borrow::Cow;

let data = "hello world";
let cows = CharsCowsAuto::from_iter_and_data(
    data.split_whitespace(),
    Cow::Borrowed(data.as_bytes())
).unwrap();

let bytes = cows.as_bytes();
assert_eq!(bytes.get(0), Some(&b"hello"[..]));
assert_eq!(bytes.get(1), Some(&b"world"[..]));
