Expand description

A type that can build containers from items.

An implementation needs to absorb elements, and later reveal equivalent information chunked into individual containers, but is free to change the data representation to better fit the properties of the container.

The owner extracts data in two ways. The opportunistic Self::extract method returns any ready data, but doesn’t need to produce partial outputs. In contrast, Self::finish needs to produce all outputs, even partial ones.

For example, a consolidating builder can aggregate differences in-place, but it has to ensure that it preserves the intended information.

The trait does not prescribe any specific ordering guarantees, and each implementation can decide to represent a push/push_container order for extract and finish, or not.

Required Associated Types§

source

type Container: Container

The container type we’re building.

Required Methods§

source

fn push<T: PushInto<Self::Container>>(&mut self, item: T)
where Self::Container: PushContainer,

Add an item to a container.

source

fn push_container(&mut self, container: &mut Self::Container)

Push a pre-built container.

source

fn extract(&mut self) -> Option<&mut Self::Container>

Extract assembled containers, potentially leaving unfinished data behind.

source

fn finish(&mut self) -> Option<&mut Self::Container>

Extract assembled containers and any unfinished data.
