Expand description

A dynamically allocated storage system. Check it out on Github, or its capabilities on the tests. This is meant to serve as a storage solution for resources in a dynamic context. It supports runtime borrow checking using RefCells. It will support a concurrent context in the future.

§Example

let mut storage = DynamicStorage::new();
storage.allocate_for::<usize>();
storage.allocate_for::<String>();
storage.insert::<String>("abc".into());
let mut my_string = storage.get::<&mut String>().unwrap();
storage.insert_many::<usize>(vec![2, 4, 8, 16, 32]);
for i in storage.get::<&[usize]>().unwrap().iter() {
    *my_string = format!("{}, {:?}", &*my_string, i);
}
assert_eq!("abc, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32", &*my_string);

Macros§

err: A shorthand for unwrapping a Result into an Err(x).
make_storage: Shorthand for forming storage with preallocated types. It will also wrap it in an Arc (More below)
ok: A shorthand for unwrapping a Result into an Ok(x).

Structs§

BlackBox: The base structure for this library, contains all of the dynamically typed storage units
DynamicStorage: The newtype for storage with interior mutability based on RefCells, only allowing for it exist on one thread.
MutexStorage: The storage with interior mutability based on Mutexes. This allows the data that is put in to only need to be T: Send, because this only allows one thread to read or write to the data.
RwLockStorage: A wrapper for a RwLock-safe BlackBox that is Send + Sync!

Enums§

ErrorDesc: The basic error descriptions for why a dynamically typed resource operation didn’t work. It does not contain however, the description for unit-related errors which handled with a UnitError by using the Unit variant of ErrorDesc.
UnitError: Miscellaneous errors pertaining to the internal StorageUnit, such as an out of bounds error, or improper accessing of data.
