The building block of generator-combinators.

A Generator can be constructed from strings, chars, and slices:

use generator_combinator::Generator;
let foo = Generator::from("foo"); // generates the string `foo`
let dot = Generator::from('.'); // generates the string `.`
let countries = Generator::from(&["US", "FR", "NZ", "CH"][..]); // generates strings `US`, `FR`, `NZ`, and `CH`.

Individual Generators can be combined as sequences with +, as variants with |, and with repetition with * usize and * (usize, usize):

use generator_combinator::Generator;
let foo = Generator::from("foo");
let bar = Generator::from("bar");
let foobar = foo.clone() + bar.clone(); // generates `foobar`
let foo_or_bar = foo.clone() | bar.clone(); // generates `foo`, `bar`
let foo_or_bar_x2 = foo_or_bar.clone() * 2; // generates `foofoo`, `foobar`, `barfoo`, `barbar`
let foo_x2_to_x4 = foo.clone() * (2, 4); // generates `foofoo`, `foofoofoo`, `foofoofoofoo`

Variants

AlphaLower

Lowercase ASCII letters (a-z)

AlphaUpper

Uppercase ASCII letters (A-Z)

Digit

Base-10 digits (0-9)

AlphaNumLower

Lowercase ASCII letters and digits (a-z0-9)

AlphaNumUpper

Uppercase ASCII letters and digits (A-Z0-9)

HexUpper

Uppercase hexadecimal values (0-9A-F)

HexLower

Lowercase hexadecimal values (0-9a-f)

Char(char)

Generates a char literal.

Str(String)

Generates a String literal.

Note that this is not a character class. Str("foo".into()) generates the exact string "foo"

OneOf

A choice between two or more patterns

As a regex, this would be, eg, (a|b|c)? (depending on is_optional)

Fields

v: Vec<Generator>

is_optional: bool

RepeatedN(Box<Generator>, usize)

A pattern repeated exactly n times. This is the same as RepeatedMN(a, n, n)

As a regex, this would be a{n}

RepeatedMN(Box<Generator>, usize, usize)

A pattern repeated at least m times, as many as n times.

As a regex, this would be a{m,n}

Sequence(Vec<Generator>)

Two or more sequential patterns.

As a regex, this would be, eg, abc

Transform

Wrap the current generator in a user-defined transformation.

Fields

inner: Box<Generator>

transform_fn: TransformFn

Empty

Doesn’t generate anything

Implementations

impl Generator

pub fn regex(&self) -> String

Create a regular expression that represents the patterns generated.

The result here is currently best-guess. It’s not guaranteed valid, correct, idiomatic, etc.

pub fn len(&self) -> u128

The number of possible patterns represented.

pub fn generate_one(&self, num: u128) -> String

Generates the String encoded by the specified num.

Panics if num exceeds the length given by Generator::len

pub fn optional(self) -> Self

Makes this Generator optional.

As a regex, this is the ? operator.

pub fn generate_all(&self) -> StringIter<'_>

Provides an iterator across all possible values for this Generator.

pub fn transform(self, f: fn(String) -> String) -> Self

Includes a user-defined transformation when generating values.

pub fn visit_one<F>(&self, num: u128, cb: F)

where F: FnMut(String),

For a value specified by num, applies the callback cb for each of the component values for this Generator.

This may be preferable to [generate_one] if you want to see the individual components comprising the final string and/or if you want to avoid the memory allocation and freeing by creating the values.
