This crate provides a couple of iterator adapters for deduplication from elements of a source iterator, inspired by the dedup methods in Vec.

dedup

The DedupIteratorAdapter is an iterator adapter that removes consecutive repeated elements from the source iterator. The dedup trait method of DedupIteratorAdapter returns a DedupIterator.

Example

```rust use dedup_iter::DedupIteratorAdapter;

assert_eq!("abcdefe", "aabbccdddeeeeffffeee".chars().dedup().collect::()); ```

dedup_by

The DedupByAdapter is an iterator adapter that removes consecutive repeated elements from the source iterator using a function to determine equality. The dedup_by trait method returns a DedupBy iterator struct.

Examples

```rust use std::ascii::AsciiExt; use dedup_iter::DedupByAdapter;

asserteq!( "This string had way too much redundant whitespace!", "This string had way too much redundant \n whitespace!".chars() .dedupby(|a, b| a.iswhitespace() && b.iswhitespace() ) .collect::() ); ```

dedup_by_key

The DedupByKeyAdapter is an iterator adapter that removes consecutive repeated elements from the source iterator using a key to determine equality. The dedup_by_key trait method returns a DedupByKey iterator struct.

Examples

```rust use dedup_iter::DedupByKeyAdapter;

asserteq!( "abcdefe", "aabbccdddeeeeffffeee".chars() .dedupby_key(|a| *a as usize) .collect::() ); ```
