A collection of convenience functions, macros and traits to shorten repetitive code.
Experimental
0.1.3
Shorten the convertion to a String.
s!("Hello") is the same as String::from("Hello"))
Concatenate two string(s) (slices) and return a string slice.
ss!("Hello", ", world") is the same as "Hello, world";
The same macro works also with an arbitrarz combination of String objects and string slices
rust
// #[macro_use] extern crate shorten;
// use shorten::*;
// let s1 = s!("Hello");
// let s2 = s!(", world");
// assert_eq!(ss!(s1, s2), "Hello, world");
// #[macro_use] extern crate shorten;
rust
use shorten::*;
let v = fread(".gitignore").unwrap();
// Convert to a String
// Option 1: Safe. Consumes the vector and complains about invalid UTF-8
let s = String::from_utf8(v).expect("Found invalid UTF-8");
// Option 2: Lossy. It turns invalid UTF-8 bytes into � and so no error handling is required
let s = String::from_utf8_lossy(&v[..]).into_owned(); // Does NOT consume v ???
// Option 3: Convert to a u8 array (not Vec) and then to a string slice.
// The conversion is in-place, and does not require an allocation. You can create a String from the slice if necessary.
let s = std::str::from_utf8(&v[..]).unwrap(); // Does NOT consume v ???
