Crate named_tup

  

This crate provides the tup! macro to produce named tuples, a struct that can contain a set of named arguments. Each named tuple can be added together or even default to a value if it does not already exist.

The idea of named tuples is to provide a way to quickly iterate on ideas without having to create a builder struct or losing the ability to type check at compile time. Named tuples also allow the creation of default values that can replace nonexistent arguments.

Examples

use named_tup::tup;
let count = 5;

// This will have the type of Tup!(count: i32, ingredients: [&str; 3], eggs: bool)
let cakes = tup!(count, ingredients: ["milk", "flower", "sugar"], eggs: true);

// We can just add a price afterwards
let mut cakes = cakes + tup!(price: 3);
// And now it has the type of Tup!(eggs: bool, ingredients: [&str; 3], count: i32, price: i32)

// Once the price is in the tup we can just update it!
cakes.price = 4;

// Will print tup { count: 5, eggs: true, ingredients: ["milk", "flower", "sugar"], price: 4 }
println!("{cakes:?}");

To use defaults just annotate the item where you set a field with #[tup_default]. Additionally since the defaulted Tup! is a type you need to convert into it by calling .into_tup() which can be accessed through the TupInto trait.

use named_tup::{tup,Tup, tup_default, TupInto};

let options = tup!(read: false, write: true);

// Converts to Tup!(read: false, write: true, create: false, timeout: 5)
open_file("main.rs", options.into_tup());

#[tup_default]
fn open_file(
    path: &str,
    options: Tup!(
        read: bool = true,
        write: bool = false,
        create: bool = false,
        timeout: i32 = 5
    ))
{
    // Open the file
}

Macros

Tup

Produces a type annotation for the tup struct. If an expression is needed instead please use the tup! macro.

tup

The whole point.

Traits

TupFrom

A copy of the From trait from the standard library. The From trait could unfortunately not be used due to it’s type reflexivity which clashed with the Tup implementation.

TupInto

A copy of the Into trait from the standard library. The Into trait could unfortunately not be used due to it’s type reflexivity which clashed with the Tup implementation.

Attribute Macros

tup_default

An attribute macro that allows you to derive defaults.
