Struct Bits 

pub struct Bits { /* private fields */ }

This represents a sequence of boolean values, packed into bits.

One of the defining features of this type is that it SCALE encodes and decodes into an identical representation to a BitVec<u8, Lsb0>, and has matching a scale_info::TypeInfo implementation to align with this. This allows it to be used in place of BitVec<u8, Lsb0> when you need something with an identical SCALE representation and a simple API and don’t wish to pull in the bitvec crate.

In addition to this, we can use the crate::scale::Format type to encode and decode Bits in the same way as BitVec’s do with order types of Lsb0 and Msb0, and store types of u8, u16, and u32.

With the serde feature enabled we can also serialize and seserialize Bits from sequences of booleans.

Example

use scale_bits::bits::Bits;

let mut bits = Bits::new();
bits.push(true);
bits.push(false);
bits.push(false);

assert_eq!(bits.len(), 3);

Converting to and from Vec<bool>:

use scale_bits::bits::Bits;

let bools = vec![true, false, true, false, true];
let bits: Bits = bools.into_iter().collect();

let new_bools: Vec<bool> = bits.into_iter().collect();
assert_eq!(new_bools, vec![true, false, true, false, true]);

Implementations

impl Bits

pub fn new() -> Self

Create a new empty list of bits. This does not allocate.

pub fn with_capacity(num_bits: usize) -> Self

Create a new empty list of bits. Pre-allocates enough space for the number of bits provided here.

pub fn is_empty(&self) -> bool

Returns true if no bits are stored.

Example

use scale_bits::bits::Bits;

let mut bits = Bits::new();
assert!(bits.is_empty());

bits.push(true);
assert!(!bits.is_empty());

bits.pop();
assert!(bits.is_empty());

pub fn len(&self) -> usize

Return the number of bits stored.

Example

use scale_bits::bits::Bits;

let mut bits = Bits::new();
assert_eq!(bits.len(), 0);

bits.push(true);
bits.push(false);
bits.push(true);
assert_eq!(bits.len(), 3);

bits.pop();
bits.pop();
assert_eq!(bits.len(), 1);

pub fn push(&mut self, b: bool)

Push new bits to the end of the list.

Example

use scale_bits::{ bits::Bits, bits };

let mut bs = Bits::new();
bs.push(true);
bs.push(false);
bs.push(true);

assert_eq!(bs, bits![1,0,1]);

pub fn pop(&mut self) -> Option<bool>

Remove bits from the end of the list, returning them if they are present.

Example

use scale_bits::{ bits::Bits, bits };

let mut bs = bits![true, false, true, true];
assert_eq!(bs.pop(), Some(true));
assert_eq!(bs.pop(), Some(true));
assert_eq!(bs.pop(), Some(false));
assert_eq!(bs.pop(), Some(true));
assert_eq!(bs.pop(), None);
assert_eq!(bs.pop(), None);

pub fn get(&self, idx: usize) -> Option<bool>

Retrieve a bit at a given index, returning None if no bit exists at that index.

Example

use scale_bits::bits;

let bs = bits![true, false, true, true];
assert_eq!(bs.get(0), Some(true));
assert_eq!(bs.get(1), Some(false));
assert_eq!(bs.get(2), Some(true));
assert_eq!(bs.get(3), Some(true));
assert_eq!(bs.get(4), None);

pub fn iter(&self) -> BitsIter<'_>

Iterate over each bit in order, returning true or false for each.

Example

use scale_bits::bits;

let bs = bits![true, false, true, true];

let v: Vec<bool> = bs.iter().collect();
assert_eq!(v, vec![true, false, true, true]);

pub fn to_vec(self) -> Vec<bool>

Convert our bits into a Vec<bool>.

Example

use scale_bits::bits;

let bs = bits![true, false, true, true].to_vec();
assert_eq!(bs, vec![true, false, true, true]);
