Crate staticstr

StaticStr - a string type that can handle both static and owned strings.

Overview

The StaticStr type is designed to optimize string handling in scenarios where most strings are static (known at compile time) but some need to be dynamically generated. It internally uses a Cow to avoid unnecessary allocations when working with static strings while still maintaining the flexibility to handle owned strings when needed.

Use Cases

• Configuration values that are usually hardcoded but sometimes need to be generated
• Message templates with occasional dynamic content
• Any situation where you frequently use &'static str but occasionally need String

Example

use staticstr::StaticStr;

// Use with static strings - no allocation
let static_message: StaticStr = "Hello, World!".into();

// Use with owned strings - allocates only when needed
let dynamic_message: StaticStr = format!("Hello, {}!", "User").into();

// Both types can be used the same way
println!("{}", static_message);  // Hello, World!
println!("{}", dynamic_message); // Hello, User!
