Crate tap_reader

Tapped reader

Wraps an existing reader and copies the read bytes into it’s own buffer

This can be useful for when you are deserializing a stream of bytes, and want to be able to provide the original input for log messages, error messages, etc

Example

extern crate tap_reader;
extern crate serde_json;
extern crate serde;
#[macro_use] extern crate serde_derive;

use std::io::Cursor;
use tap_reader::Tap;

#[derive(Debug, Deserialize, PartialEq)]
struct Foo {
    foo: String,
    bar: usize,
}

let input = r#"{"foo":"hello, world!","bar":42}"#;
let bytes = input.as_bytes();
let reader = Cursor::new(bytes);
let mut reader = Tap::new(reader);
let foo: Foo = match serde_json::from_reader(&mut reader) {
    Ok(foo) => foo,
    Err(e) => {
        eprintln!("Error serializing Foo from input: '{}'\n error was: {}",
                  String::from_utf8_lossy(&reader.bytes),
                  e.description());
        return Err(());
    }
};
assert_eq!(foo, Foo { foo: "hello, world!".to_string(), bar: 42 });
assert_eq!(reader.bytes, bytes);

extern crate tap_reader;

use std::io::{Cursor, Read};

use tap_reader::Tap;

let input = "hello, world!".to_string();
let bytes = input.as_bytes();
let cursor = Cursor::new(bytes);
let mut reader = Tap::new(cursor);

let mut output = String::new();

reader.read_to_string(&mut output)?;

assert_eq!(output, input);
assert_eq!(bytes, &reader.bytes[..]);
