Repository: A repository for all kinds of entities.
Repository
provides storage for multiple data types, it provides
its own kind of index handle called EntityId
and its own kind of typed
handle called EntityPtr<T>
. With these handles it allows the values
resident in the same Repository
to reference each other easily.
The data behind the EntityPtr<T>
handle can be accessed when you have
a corresponding reference to the whole repository.
The data behind the EntityId
handle can be accessed when you know its
type and have a corresponding reference to the whole repository.
Usage example:
// create a repository.
let mut repo = Repo::new();
// insert and retrieve a pointer handle.
let a = repo.insert(42i32);
assert_eq!(42i32, *a.get_ref(&repo).unwrap());
// insert and retrieve a index handle.
let b = repo.insert_for_id(42i32);
// downcast from index handle to pointer handle.
let b_ptr = b.cast_ptr::<i32>(&repo).unwrap();
assert_eq!(42i32, *b_ptr.get_ref(&repo).unwrap());
// downcasting fails when type is incorrect.
let b_wrong_ptr = b.cast_ptr::<u32>(&repo);
assert_eq!(None, b_wrong_ptr);
