lazy_transform_str/

lib.rs

//! Lazy-copying lazy-allocated scanning [`str`] transformations.  
//! This is good e.g. for (un)escaping text, especially if individual strings are short.
//!
//! Note that this library uses [smartstring] (and as such returns [`Woc`]s instead of [`Cow`]s).  
//! The output is still [`Deref<Target = str>`] regardless, so there should be no issue with ease of use.
//!
//! # Example
//!
//! ```rust
//! use {
//!     cervine::Cow,
//!     gnaw::Unshift as _,
//!     lazy_transform_str::{Transform as _, TransformedPart},
//!     smartstring::alias::String,
//! };
//!
//! fn double_a(str: &str) -> Cow<String, str> {
//!     str.transform(|rest /*: &mut &str */| {
//!         // Consume some of the input. `rest` is never empty here.
//!         match rest.unshift().unwrap() {
//!             'a' => TransformedPart::Changed(String::from("aa")),
//!             _ => TransformedPart::Unchanged,
//!         }
//!     } /*: impl FnMut(…) -> … */ )
//! }
//!
//! assert_eq!(double_a("abc"), Cow::Owned(String::from("aabc")));
//! assert_eq!(double_a("bcd"), Cow::Borrowed("bcd"));
//! ```
//!
//! See [`escape_double_quotes`] and [`unescape_backlashed_verbatim`]'s sources for more real-world examples.
