baggie
Baggie
is simple interface for storing any type of element in a HashMap
.
The crate has no dependencies, and is really just a helper around storing and
fetching Any
s from a HashMap
. It has no unsafe code and free of any unwraps
or similar misgivings.
The Baggie
implements a subset of methods found in HashMap.
The downside of this crate is you must know the type of what you stored later on. Typically this shouldn't be a problem, as you could keep some metadata structure describing what types belong to what keys you've stored.
Sometimes you might need a tool like this, but most times you should be using an enum. :)
use baggie::Baggie;
let mut bag = Baggie::new();
// Insert any value type you wish...
bag.insert("key1", "Value1".to_owned());
bag.insert("key2", vec!["value", "2"]);
bag.insert("key3", 3);
// Get a reference
let val3 = bag.get::<i32, _>("key3");
assert_eq!(Some(&3), val3);
// Get a mutable reference
let val2: Option<&mut Vec<&str>> = bag.get_mut("key2");
match val2 {
Some(v) => *v = vec!["new", "value", "2"],
None => panic!()
}
let val2: &mut Vec<&str> = bag.get_mut("key2").unwrap();
assert_eq!(val2, &mut vec!["new", "value", "2"]);
