Mutator helps creating a extendable method chain.


lib.rs:

You can use it to allow extending method chain.

Examples (Extendable builder with future-proof)

// mock
mod othercrate {
	use mutator::Mutator;
	pub struct CrateBuilder {
		pool_size: usize,
	}

	impl CrateBuilder {
		// not important in this example
		pub fn build(self) -> () {
		}
	}

	pub trait CrateBuilderMut: Mutator<CrateBuilder> {
		// returns self, so it can be builder type of wrapper library
		//
		fn with_pool_size(self, pool_size: usize) -> Self {
			self.mutate(|b| b.pool_size = pool_size)
		}
	}


	/// Mutator<CrateBuilder> is implemented for CrateBuilder, as logically it is.
	///
 	/// Any type which can mutate CrateBuilder can be used as CrateBuilder.
	///
	impl<B> CrateBuilderMut for B where B: Mutator<CrateBuilder> {}

	pub fn builder() -> CrateBuilder {
		CrateBuilder{ pool_size: 0 }
	}
}


// mock wrapper crate
mod runner {
	use mutator::Mutator;
	use othercrate::{self, CrateBuilder};
	pub use othercrate::CrateBuilderMut;

	pub struct RunnerBuilder {
		name: Option<&'static str>,
		crate_builder: CrateBuilder,
	}

	impl RunnerBuilder {
		/// not important in this example
		pub fn build(self) -> () {
		}
	}


	pub trait RunnerBuilderMut: Mutator<RunnerBuilder> {
		fn with_name(self, name: &'static str) -> Self {
			self.mutate(|b| b.name = Some(name))
		}
	}

	impl<B> RunnerBuilderMut for B where B: Mutator<RunnerBuilder> {}

	/// By this, methods on CrateBuilder can be called on RunnerBuilder
	impl Mutator<CrateBuilder> for RunnerBuilder {
		fn mutate<F>(mut self, op: F) -> Self where F: FnOnce(&mut CrateBuilder) {
			op(&mut self.crate_builder);
			self
		}
	}


	pub fn new() -> RunnerBuilder {
		RunnerBuilder {
			name: None,
			crate_builder: othercrate::builder(),
		}
	}
}
