//! The [`guard!`] macro. //! //! The [`guard!`] macro implements a control-flow sugar that occurs very often in common Rust code: //! //! ```rust //! fn foo(cond: bool) -> Option<i32> { //! if !cond { //! return None; //! } //! //! // do something useful //! //! Some(42) //! } //! ``` //! //! This pattern of testing arguments and early-returning with an error is very typical. //! Unfortunately, the [`?`] operator doesn’t help us here because we want to early-return on a //! boolean value, not an error value. //! //! A not very idiomatic and weird way to rewrite that: //! //! ```rust //! fn foo(cond: bool) -> Option<i32> { //! if cond { Some(()) } else { None }?; //! Some(42) //! } //! ``` //! //! This crate provides the [`guard!`] macro — analoguous to the [`guard`] Haskell `Alternative` //! function — that helps early-return from a function if a predicate is `false`: //! //! ```rust //! # #![cfg_attr(feature = "test-nightly", feature(try_trait))] //! # #[cfg(feature = "test-nightly")] mod lol { //! use try_guard::guard; //! //! fn foo(cond: bool) -> Option<i32> { //! guard!(cond); //! Some(42) //! } //! # } //! ``` //! //! ## Custom guard types //! //! This crate also allows you to _guard_ to anything that implements [`Try<Error = NoneError>`] or //! `From<NoneError>` (nightly only). //! //! For instance, the following works: //! //! ```rust //! # #![cfg_attr(feature = "test-nightly", feature(try_trait))] //! # #[cfg(feature = "test-nightly")] mod lol { //! use std::ops::Try; //! use std::option::NoneError; //! use try_guard::guard; //! //! #[derive(Clone, Debug, Eq, PartialEq)] //! enum MyGuard<T> { //! Just(T), //! Nothing //! } //! //! impl<T> MyGuard<T> { //! fn new(x: T) -> Self { //! MyGuard::Just(x) //! } //! //! fn none() -> Self { //! MyGuard::Nothing //! } //! } //! //! impl<T> Try for MyGuard<T> { //! type Ok = T; //! //! type Error = NoneError; //! //! fn from_error(_: Self::Error) -> Self { //! MyGuard::none() //! } //! //! fn from_ok(x: Self::Ok) -> Self { //! MyGuard::new(x) //! } //! //! fn into_result(self) -> Result<Self::Ok, Self::Error> { //! match self { //! MyGuard::Just(x) => Ok(x), //! MyGuard::Nothing => Err(NoneError) //! } //! } //! } //! //! fn foo(cond: bool) -> MyGuard<i32> { //! guard!(cond); //! MyGuard::new(42) //! } //! //! fn main() { //! assert_eq!(foo(false), MyGuard::Nothing); //! } //! # } //! ``` //! //! ## More control on the error type //! //! If you’d rather manipulate the error type when the predicate is false, you might be interested //! in the [`verify!`] macro instead. That macro is akin to [`guard!`] but instead doesn’t exit the //! current scope: it maps the predicate’s truth to either `Some(())` or `None`, allowing you to //! call `Option::ok_or` or whatever error combinator you want to. //! //! ```rust //! use try_guard::verify; //! //! fn foo(cond: bool) -> Result<u32, String> { //! verify!(cond).ok_or("bad condition".to_owned())?; //! Ok(123) //! } //! ``` //! //! ## Feature flags //! //! - The `test-nightly` feature flag can be used to test nightly-related features that come //! freely and don’t require a nightly build of rustc to compile this crate but require one at //! use site. //! //!
