Crate lit2

Macros for container literals with specific type.

use lit2::*;

let map = hashmap!{
    "a" => 1,
    "b" => 2,
};
 
let set = set!{1, 2, 3};

The lit2 crate uses => syntax to separate the key and value for the mapping macros. It is also possible to use the : separator, but the keys cannot be expressions.

Note that rust macros are flexible in which brackets you use for the invocation. You can use them as hashmap!{} or hashmap![] or hashmap!().

Generic container macros already exist elsewhere, so those are not provided here at the moment.

Macros

• btreemap
  Create a BTreeMap from a list of key-value pairs
• btreeset
  Create a BTreeSet from a list of elements.
• convert_args
  Macro that converts the keys or key-value pairs passed to another lit2 macro. The default conversion is to use the Into trait, if no custom conversion is passed.
• dict
  Alias of “map!”. Create a HashMap from a list of key-value pairs
• hashmap
  Create a HashMap from a list of key-value pairs
• hashmap_ex
  Create a HashMap with specific type from a list of key-value pairs
• hashset
  Create a HashSet from a list of elements.
• map
  A slightly more concise version of “hashmap!” for the concision-minded. Create a HashMap from a list of key-value pairs
• set
  Alias of “hashset!”. Create a HashSet from a list of elements.
