pub struct DebugMap<'a, 'b> where

{ /* fields omitted */ }
Expand description

A struct to help with fmt::Debug implementations.

This is useful when you wish to output a formatted map as a part of your Debug::fmt implementation.

This can be constructed by the Formatter::debug_map method.

Examples

use std::fmt;

struct Foo(Vec<(String, i32)>);

impl fmt::Debug for Foo {
    fn fmt(&self, fmt: &mut fmt::Formatter) -> fmt::Result {
        fmt.debug_map().entries(self.0.iter().map(|&(ref k, ref v)| (k, v))).finish()
    }
}

assert_eq!(
    format!("{:?}", Foo(vec![("A".to_string(), 10), ("B".to_string(), 11)])),
    "{\"A\": 10, \"B\": 11}",
);
Run

Implementations

Adds a new entry to the map output.

Examples
use std::fmt;

struct Foo(Vec<(String, i32)>);

impl fmt::Debug for Foo {
    fn fmt(&self, fmt: &mut fmt::Formatter<'_>) -> fmt::Result {
        fmt.debug_map()
           .entry(&"whole", &self.0) // We add the "whole" entry.
           .finish()
    }
}

assert_eq!(
    format!("{:?}", Foo(vec![("A".to_string(), 10), ("B".to_string(), 11)])),
    "{\"whole\": [(\"A\", 10), (\"B\", 11)]}",
);
Run

Adds the key part of a new entry to the map output.

This method, together with value, is an alternative to entry that can be used when the complete entry isn’t known upfront. Prefer the entry method when it’s possible to use.

Panics

key must be called before value and each call to key must be followed by a corresponding call to value. Otherwise this method will panic.

Examples
use std::fmt;

struct Foo(Vec<(String, i32)>);

impl fmt::Debug for Foo {
    fn fmt(&self, fmt: &mut fmt::Formatter<'_>) -> fmt::Result {
        fmt.debug_map()
           .key(&"whole").value(&self.0) // We add the "whole" entry.
           .finish()
    }
}

assert_eq!(
    format!("{:?}", Foo(vec![("A".to_string(), 10), ("B".to_string(), 11)])),
    "{\"whole\": [(\"A\", 10), (\"B\", 11)]}",
);

           .key(&"whole").value(&self.0) // We add the "whole" entry.
           .finish()
    }
}

assert_eq!(
    format!("{:?}", Foo(vec![("A".to_string(), 10), ("B".to_string(), 11)])),
    "{\"whole\": [(\"A\", 10), (\"B\", 11)]}",
);
Run

Adds the contents of an iterator of entries to the map output.

Examples
use std::fmt;

struct Foo(Vec<(String, i32)>);

impl fmt::Debug for Foo {
    fn fmt(&self, fmt: &mut fmt::Formatter<'_>) -> fmt::Result {
        fmt.debug_map()
           // We map our vec so each entries' first field will become
           // the "key".
           .entries(self.0.iter().map(|&(ref k, ref v)| (k, v)))
           .finish()
    }
}

assert_eq!(
    format!("{:?}", Foo(vec![("A".to_string(), 10), ("B".to_string(), 11)])),
    "{\"A\": 10, \"B\": 11}",
);
Run

Finishes output and returns any error encountered.

Panics

key must be called before value and each call to key must be followed by a corresponding call to value. Otherwise this method will panic.

Examples
use std::fmt;

struct Foo(Vec<(String, i32)>);

impl fmt::Debug for Foo {
    fn fmt(&self, fmt: &mut fmt::Formatter<'_>) -> fmt::Result {
        fmt.debug_map()
           .entries(self.0.iter().map(|&(ref k, ref v)| (k, v)))
           .finish() // Ends the struct formatting.
    }
}

assert_eq!(
    format!("{:?}", Foo(vec![("A".to_string(), 10), ("B".to_string(), 11)])),
    "{\"A\": 10, \"B\": 11}",
);
Run
