Function encode_packed

pub fn encode_packed(
    elements: &[EncodeType],
    endian: EncodeOrder,
) -> Result<Vec<u8>, EncodeError>

encode_packed encodes an array of values of any EncodeType enum into a packed byte-array. Returns the byte vector representing the packed byte-array or EncodeErr enum.

Arguments

• elements: List of elements to encode, example: &[ EncodeType::Int8(10), EncodeType::Str("hello".to_owned()) ]
• endian: The byte-ordering to use while encoding

Examples:

extern crate packed_encoder;

use packed_encoder::encoder;

fn main() {
    // list of values to encode
    let to_encode = &[
        encoder::EncodeType::Int128(-234984564544),
        encoder::EncodeType::Str("this-is-good".to_owned()),
        encoder::EncodeType::Uint64(837477899),
        encoder::EncodeType::Int8(10),
        encoder::EncodeType::Bytes(vec![0xff, 0xab, 0x12, 0x33]),
   ];
   // encode the values the result will be of type `Result<Vec<u8>, EncodeError>`
   let encoded_result = encoder::encode_packed(to_encode, encoder::EncodeOrder::Little);
   assert_eq!(encoded_result.is_ok(), true);
   println!("bytes={:?}", encoded_result.unwrap());
}
