pub struct Ruler<M, T> { /* private fields */ }
Expand description

Ruler allows you to implement a plugin system with dependency management and ensure that your dependencies are called in the correct order.

You can use it like this:

use markdown_it::common::ruler::Ruler;

// this example prints "[ hello, world! ]",
// where each token is printed by separate closure
let mut chain = Ruler::<&str, fn (&mut String)>::new();

// define rules printing "hello" and "world"
chain.add("hello", |s| s.push_str("hello"));
chain.add("world", |s| s.push_str("world"));

// open bracket should be before "hello", and closing one after "world"
chain.add("open_bracket", |s| s.push_str("[ ")).before("hello");
chain.add("close_bracket", |s| s.push_str(" ]")).after("world");

// between "hello" and "world" we shall have a comma
chain.add("comma", |s| s.push_str(", ")).after("hello").before("world");

// after "world" we should have "!" as a first rule, but ensure "world" exists first
chain.add("bang", |s| s.push_str("!")).require("world").after("world").before_all();

// now we run this chain
let mut result = String::new();
for f in chain.iter() { f(&mut result); }
assert_eq!(result, "[ hello, world! ]");

This data structure contains any number of elements (M, T), where T is any type and M (mark) is its identifier.

  • M is used for ordering and dependency checking, it must implement Eq + Copy + Hash + Debug . Common choices for M are u32, &'static str, or a special Symbol type designed for this purpose.

  • T is any user-defined type. It’s usually a function or boxed trait.

Implementations

Add a new rule identified by mark with payload value.

Remove all rules identified by mark.

Check if there are any rules identified by mark.

Ordered iteration through rules.
