Trait otter_base::prelude::IndexMut1.0.0[−][src]

pub trait IndexMut<Idx>: Index<Idx> where
    Idx: ?Sized, {
    fn index_mut(&mut self, index: Idx) -> &mut Self::Output;
}
Expand description

Used for indexing operations (container[index]) in mutable contexts.

container[index] is actually syntactic sugar for *container.index_mut(index), but only when used as a mutable value. If an immutable value is requested, the Index trait is used instead. This allows nice things such as v[index] = value.

Examples

A very simple implementation of a Balance struct that has two sides, where each can be indexed mutably and immutably.

use std::ops::{Index, IndexMut};

#[derive(Debug)]
enum Side {
    Left,
    Right,
}

#[derive(Debug, PartialEq)]
enum Weight {
    Kilogram(f32),
    Pound(f32),
}

struct Balance {
    pub left: Weight,
    pub right: Weight,
}

impl Index<Side> for Balance {
    type Output = Weight;

    fn index(&self, index: Side) -> &Self::Output {
        println!("Accessing {:?}-side of balance immutably", index);
        match index {
            Side::Left => &self.left,
            Side::Right => &self.right,
        }
    }
}

impl IndexMut<Side> for Balance {
    fn index_mut(&mut self, index: Side) -> &mut Self::Output {
        println!("Accessing {:?}-side of balance mutably", index);
        match index {
            Side::Left => &mut self.left,
            Side::Right => &mut self.right,
        }
    }
}

let mut balance = Balance {
    right: Weight::Kilogram(2.5),
    left: Weight::Pound(1.5),
};

// In this case, `balance[Side::Right]` is sugar for
// `*balance.index(Side::Right)`, since we are only *reading*
// `balance[Side::Right]`, not writing it.
assert_eq!(balance[Side::Right], Weight::Kilogram(2.5));

// However, in this case `balance[Side::Left]` is sugar for
// `*balance.index_mut(Side::Left)`, since we are writing
// `balance[Side::Left]`.
balance[Side::Left] = Weight::Kilogram(3.0);

Required methods

Performs the mutable indexing (container[index]) operation.

Panics

May panic if the index is out of bounds.

Implementations on Foreign Types

Mutably access an element of this map. Panics if the given key is not present in the map.

map["key"] = json!("value");

Write into a serde_json::Value using the syntax value[0] = ... or value["k"] = ....

If the index is a number, the value must be an array of length bigger than the index. Indexing into a value that is not an array or an array that is too small will panic.

If the index is a string, the value must be an object or null which is treated like an empty object. If the key is not already present in the object, it will be inserted with a value of null. Indexing into a value that is neither an object nor null will panic.

Examples

let mut data = json!({ "x": 0 });

// replace an existing key
data["x"] = json!(1);

// insert a new key
data["y"] = json!([false, false, false]);

// replace an array value
data["y"][0] = json!(true);

// inserted a deeply nested key
data["a"]["b"]["c"]["d"] = json!(true);

println!("{}", data);
