Struct csv_async::StringRecord

pub struct StringRecord(/* private fields */);

A single CSV record stored as valid UTF-8 bytes.

A string record permits reading or writing CSV rows that are valid UTF-8. If string records are used to read CSV data that is not valid UTF-8, then the CSV reader will return an invalid UTF-8 error. If you do need to read possibly invalid UTF-8 data, then you should prefer using a ByteRecord, since it makes no assumptions about UTF-8.

If you are using the Serde (de)serialization APIs, then you probably never need to interact with a ByteRecord or a StringRecord. However, there are some circumstances in which you might need to use a raw record type while still using Serde. For example, if you need to deserialize possibly invalid UTF-8 fields, then you’ll need to first read your record into a ByteRecord, and then use ByteRecord::deserialize to run Serde. Another reason for using the raw record deserialization APIs is if you’re using Serde to read into borrowed data such as a &'a str or a &'a [u8].

Two StringRecords are compared on the basis of their field data. Any position information associated with the records is ignored.

Implementations

impl StringRecord

pub fn new() -> StringRecord

Create a new empty StringRecord.

Note that you may find the StringRecord::from constructor more convenient, which is provided by an impl on the From trait.

Example: create an empty record

use csv_async::StringRecord;

let record = StringRecord::new();
assert_eq!(record.len(), 0);

Example: initialize a record from a Vec

use csv_async::StringRecord;

let record = StringRecord::from(vec!["a", "b", "c"]);
assert_eq!(record.len(), 3);

pub fn with_capacity(buffer: usize, fields: usize) -> StringRecord

Create a new empty StringRecord with the given capacity.

buffer refers to the capacity of the buffer used to store the actual row contents. fields refers to the number of fields one might expect to store.

pub fn from_byte_record( record: ByteRecord ) -> Result<StringRecord, FromUtf8Error>

Create a new StringRecord from a ByteRecord.

Note that this does UTF-8 validation. If the given ByteRecord does not contain valid UTF-8, then this returns an error. The error includes the UTF-8 error and the original ByteRecord.

Example: valid UTF-8

use std::error::Error;
use csv_async::{ByteRecord, StringRecord};

fn example() -> Result<(), Box<dyn Error>> {
    let byte_record = ByteRecord::from(vec!["a", "b", "c"]);
    let str_record = StringRecord::from_byte_record(byte_record)?;
    assert_eq!(str_record.len(), 3);
    Ok(())
}

Example: invalid UTF-8

use csv_async::{ByteRecord, StringRecord};

let byte_record = ByteRecord::from(vec![
    &b"quux"[..], &b"foo\xFFbar"[..], &b"c"[..],
]);
let err = StringRecord::from_byte_record(byte_record).unwrap_err();
assert_eq!(err.utf8_error().field(), 1);
assert_eq!(err.utf8_error().valid_up_to(), 3);

pub fn from_byte_record_lossy(record: ByteRecord) -> StringRecord

Lossily create a new StringRecord from a ByteRecord.

This is like StringRecord::from_byte_record, except all invalid UTF-8 sequences are replaced with the U+FFFD REPLACEMENT CHARACTER, which looks like this: �.

Example: valid UTF-8

use csv_async::{ByteRecord, StringRecord};

let byte_record = ByteRecord::from(vec!["a", "b", "c"]);
let str_record = StringRecord::from_byte_record_lossy(byte_record);
assert_eq!(str_record.len(), 3);

Example: invalid UTF-8

use csv_async::{ByteRecord, StringRecord};

let byte_record = ByteRecord::from(vec![
    &b"quux"[..], &b"foo\xFFbar"[..], &b"c"[..],
]);
let str_record = StringRecord::from_byte_record_lossy(byte_record);
assert_eq!(&str_record[0], "quux");
assert_eq!(&str_record[1], "foo�bar");
assert_eq!(&str_record[2], "c");

pub fn iter(&self) -> StringRecordIter<'_>

Returns an iterator over all fields in this record.

Example

This example shows how to iterate over each field in a StringRecord.

use csv_async::StringRecord;

let record = StringRecord::from(vec!["a", "b", "c"]);
for field in record.iter() {
    assert!(field == "a" || field == "b" || field == "c");
}

pub fn get(&self, i: usize) -> Option<&str>

Return the field at zero-based index i.

If no field at index i exists, then this returns None.

Example

use csv_async::StringRecord;

let record = StringRecord::from(vec!["a", "b", "c"]);
assert_eq!(record.get(1), Some("b"));
assert_eq!(record.get(3), None);

pub fn is_empty(&self) -> bool

Returns true if and only if this record is empty.

Example

use csv_async::StringRecord;

assert!(StringRecord::new().is_empty());

pub fn len(&self) -> usize

Returns the number of fields in this record.

Example

use csv_async::StringRecord;

let record = StringRecord::from(vec!["a", "b", "c"]);
assert_eq!(record.len(), 3);

pub fn truncate(&mut self, n: usize)

Truncate this record to n fields.

If n is greater than the number of fields in this record, then this has no effect.

Example

use csv_async::StringRecord;

let mut record = StringRecord::from(vec!["a", "b", "c"]);
assert_eq!(record.len(), 3);
record.truncate(1);
assert_eq!(record.len(), 1);
assert_eq!(record, vec!["a"]);

pub fn clear(&mut self)

Clear this record so that it has zero fields.

Note that it is not necessary to clear the record to reuse it with the CSV reader.

Example

use csv_async::StringRecord;

let mut record = StringRecord::from(vec!["a", "b", "c"]);
assert_eq!(record.len(), 3);
record.clear();
assert_eq!(record.len(), 0);

pub fn trim(&mut self)

Trim the fields of this record so that leading and trailing whitespace is removed.

This method uses the Unicode definition of whitespace.

Example

use csv_async::StringRecord;

let mut record = StringRecord::from(vec![
    "  ", "\u{3000}\tfoo ", "bar  ", "b a z",
]);
record.trim();
assert_eq!(record, vec!["", "foo", "bar", "b a z"]);

pub fn push_field(&mut self, field: &str)

Add a new field to this record.

Example

use csv_async::StringRecord;

let mut record = StringRecord::new();
record.push_field("foo");
assert_eq!(&record[0], "foo");

pub fn position(&self) -> Option<&Position>

Return the position of this record, if available.

Example

use std::error::Error;
use futures::stream::{self, StreamExt};
use csv_async::{StringRecord, AsyncReaderBuilder};

async fn example() -> Result<(), Box<dyn Error>> {
    let mut record = StringRecord::new();
    let mut rdr = AsyncReaderBuilder::new()
        .has_headers(false)
        .create_reader("a,b,c\nx,y,z".as_bytes()
        );
    assert!(rdr.read_record(&mut record).await?);
    {
        let pos = record.position().expect("a record position");
        assert_eq!(pos.byte(), 0);
        assert_eq!(pos.line(), 1);
        assert_eq!(pos.record(), 0);
    }

    assert!(rdr.read_record(&mut record).await?);
    {
        let pos = record.position().expect("a record position");
        assert_eq!(pos.byte(), 6);
        assert_eq!(pos.line(), 2);
        assert_eq!(pos.record(), 1);
    }

    // Finish the CSV reader for good measure.
    assert!(!rdr.read_record(&mut record).await?);
    Ok(())
}

pub fn set_position(&mut self, pos: Option<Position>)

Set the position of this record.

Example

use csv_async::{StringRecord, Position};

let mut record = StringRecord::from(vec!["a", "b", "c"]);
let mut pos = Position::new();
pos.set_byte(100);
pos.set_line(4);
pos.set_record(2);

record.set_position(Some(pos.clone()));
assert_eq!(record.position(), Some(&pos));

pub fn range(&self, i: usize) -> Option<Range<usize>>

Return the start and end position of a field in this record.

If no such field exists at the given index, then return None.

The range returned can be used with the slice returned by as_slice. Namely, the range returned is guaranteed to start and end at valid UTF-8 sequence boundaries.

Example

use csv_async::StringRecord;

let record = StringRecord::from(vec!["foo", "quux", "z"]);
let range = record.range(1).expect("a record range");
assert_eq!(&record.as_slice()[range], "quux");

pub fn as_slice(&self) -> &str

Return the entire row as a single string slice. The slice returned stores all fields contiguously. The boundaries of each field can be determined via the range method.

Example

use csv_async::StringRecord;

let record = StringRecord::from(vec!["foo", "quux", "z"]);
assert_eq!(record.as_slice(), "fooquuxz");

pub fn as_byte_record(&self) -> &ByteRecord

Return a reference to this record’s raw ByteRecord.

Example

use csv_async::StringRecord;

let str_record = StringRecord::from(vec!["a", "b", "c"]);
let byte_record = str_record.as_byte_record();
assert_eq!(&byte_record[2], b"c");

pub fn into_byte_record(self) -> ByteRecord

Convert this StringRecord into a ByteRecord.

Example

use csv_async::StringRecord;

let str_record = StringRecord::from(vec!["a", "b", "c"]);
let byte_record = str_record.into_byte_record();
assert_eq!(&byte_record[2], b"c");

Note that this can also be achieved using the From impl:

use csv_async::{ByteRecord, StringRecord};

// Using ByteRecord::from...
let str_record = StringRecord::from(vec!["a", "b", "c"]);
assert_eq!(ByteRecord::from(str_record).len(), 3);

// Using StringRecord::into...
let str_record = StringRecord::from(vec!["a", "b", "c"]);
let byte_record: ByteRecord = str_record.into();
assert_eq!(byte_record.len(), 3);
