Crate sorted_groups

sorted-groups implement a data structure to store elements in sorted groups while maintaining the order of elements in each group.

Usage

First, add the sorted_groups crate as a dependency:

cargo add sorted_groups

use sorted_groups::SortedGroups;

#[derive(PartialEq, Eq, Ord, Debug)]
struct Element {
   group: i32,
   value: i32,
}

impl PartialOrd for Element {
   fn partial_cmp(&self, other: &Self) -> Option<std::cmp::Ordering> {
       Some(self.cmp(other))
   }
}

// Elements will be grouped by the `group` field
let sorted_groups = SortedGroups::<i32, Element>::new(vec![
   Element { group: 1, value: 1 },
   Element { group: 1, value: 2 },
   Element { group: 2, value: 1 },
], |e| e.group);

// `len` returns the total number of elements
assert_eq!(sorted_groups.len(), 3);
// `groups_len` returns the number of groups
assert_eq!(sorted_groups.groups_len(), 2);
// `iter` returns an iterator over groups and elements
let mut iter = sorted_groups.iter();
assert_eq!(iter.next(), Some((&1, &Element { group: 1, value: 1 })));
assert_eq!(iter.next(), Some((&1, &Element { group: 1, value: 2 })));
assert_eq!(iter.next(), Some((&2, &Element { group: 2, value: 1 })));
assert_eq!(iter.next(), None);
