Struct HintSet

pub struct HintSet<'a> { /* private fields */ }

A set of paths to parts of the input that are subject to a hint in Hints.

Implementations

impl<'a> HintSet<'a>

pub fn new(values: Vec<&'a [String]>) -> Self

Constructs a new HintSet.

Each element of values is a separate “path”. Each element of a path is treated as a path “segment”. So, for example, this:

use jtd_infer::HintSet;

let path1 = vec!["foo".to_string(), "bar".to_string()];
let path2 = vec!["baz".to_string()];
HintSet::new(vec![&path1, &path2]);

Creates a set of paths pointing to /foo/bar and /baz in an input.

The - path segment value is special, and acts as a wildcard, matching any property name. It also matches array elements, unlike ordinary path segments.
