Struct std::lazy::OnceCell

source · [−]

pub struct OnceCell<T> { /* private fields */ }

🔬 This is a nightly-only experimental API. (once_cell #74465)

Expand description

A cell which can be written to only once.

Unlike RefCell, a OnceCell only provides shared &T references to its value. Unlike Cell, a OnceCell doesn’t require copying or replacing the value to access it.

Examples

#![feature(once_cell)]

use std::lazy::OnceCell;

let cell = OnceCell::new();
assert!(cell.get().is_none());

let value: &String = cell.get_or_init(|| {
    "Hello, World!".to_string()
});
assert_eq!(value, "Hello, World!");
assert!(cell.get().is_some());

Implementations

source

impl<T> OnceCell<T>

source

pub const fn new() -> OnceCell<T>

🔬 This is a nightly-only experimental API. (once_cell #74465)

Creates a new empty cell.

source

pub fn get(&self) -> Option<&T>

🔬 This is a nightly-only experimental API. (once_cell #74465)

Gets the reference to the underlying value.

Returns None if the cell is empty.

source

pub fn get_mut(&mut self) -> Option<&mut T>

🔬 This is a nightly-only experimental API. (once_cell #74465)

Gets the mutable reference to the underlying value.

Returns None if the cell is empty.

source

pub fn set(&self, value: T) -> Result<(), T>

🔬 This is a nightly-only experimental API. (once_cell #74465)

Sets the contents of the cell to value.

Errors

This method returns Ok(()) if the cell was empty and Err(value) if it was full.

Examples

#![feature(once_cell)]

use std::lazy::OnceCell;

let cell = OnceCell::new();
assert!(cell.get().is_none());

assert_eq!(cell.set(92), Ok(()));
assert_eq!(cell.set(62), Err(62));

assert!(cell.get().is_some());

Run

source

pub fn get_or_init<F>(&self, f: F) -> &T where
F: FnOnce() -> T,

🔬 This is a nightly-only experimental API. (once_cell #74465)

Gets the contents of the cell, initializing it with f if the cell was empty.

Panics

If f panics, the panic is propagated to the caller, and the cell remains uninitialized.

It is an error to reentrantly initialize the cell from f. Doing so results in a panic.

Examples

#![feature(once_cell)]

use std::lazy::OnceCell;

let cell = OnceCell::new();
let value = cell.get_or_init(|| 92);
assert_eq!(value, &92);
let value = cell.get_or_init(|| unreachable!());
assert_eq!(value, &92);

Run

source

pub fn get_or_try_init<F, E>(&self, f: F) -> Result<&T, E> where
F: FnOnce() -> Result<T, E>,

🔬 This is a nightly-only experimental API. (once_cell #74465)

Gets the contents of the cell, initializing it with f if the cell was empty. If the cell was empty and f failed, an error is returned.

Panics

If f panics, the panic is propagated to the caller, and the cell remains uninitialized.

It is an error to reentrantly initialize the cell from f. Doing so results in a panic.

Examples

#![feature(once_cell)]

use std::lazy::OnceCell;

let cell = OnceCell::new();
assert_eq!(cell.get_or_try_init(|| Err(())), Err(()));
assert!(cell.get().is_none());
let value = cell.get_or_try_init(|| -> Result<i32, ()> {
    Ok(92)
});
assert_eq!(value, Ok(&92));
assert_eq!(cell.get(), Some(&92))

Run

source

pub fn into_inner(self) -> Option<T>

🔬 This is a nightly-only experimental API. (once_cell #74465)

Consumes the cell, returning the wrapped value.

Returns None if the cell was empty.

Examples

#![feature(once_cell)]

use std::lazy::OnceCell;

let cell: OnceCell<String> = OnceCell::new();
assert_eq!(cell.into_inner(), None);

let cell = OnceCell::new();
cell.set("hello".to_string()).unwrap();
assert_eq!(cell.into_inner(), Some("hello".to_string()));

Run

source

pub fn take(&mut self) -> Option<T>

🔬 This is a nightly-only experimental API. (once_cell #74465)

Takes the value out of this OnceCell, moving it back to an uninitialized state.

Has no effect and returns None if the OnceCell hasn’t been initialized.

Safety is guaranteed by requiring a mutable reference.

Examples

#![feature(once_cell)]

use std::lazy::OnceCell;

let mut cell: OnceCell<String> = OnceCell::new();
assert_eq!(cell.take(), None);

let mut cell = OnceCell::new();
cell.set("hello".to_string()).unwrap();
assert_eq!(cell.take(), Some("hello".to_string()));
assert_eq!(cell.get(), None);
