pub trait ToCompactString {
    // Required method
    fn to_compact_string(&self) -> CompactString;
}
Expand description

A trait for converting a value to a CompactString.

This trait is automatically implemented for any type which implements the fmt::Display trait. As such, ToCompactString shouldn’t be implemented directly: fmt::Display should be implemented instead, and you get the ToCompactString implementation for free.

Required Methods§

fn to_compact_string(&self) -> CompactString

Converts the given value to a CompactString.

Examples

Basic usage:

use compact_str::ToCompactString;

let i = 5;
let five = CompactString::new("5");

assert_eq!(i.to_compact_string(), five);

Implementors§

§

impl<T> ToCompactString for Twhere T: Display,

Panics

In this implementation, the to_compact_string method panics if the Display implementation returns an error. This indicates an incorrect Display implementation since std::fmt::Write for CompactString never returns an error itself.

Note

We use the [castaway] crate to provide zero-cost specialization for several types, those are:

  • u8, u16, u32, u64, u128, usize
  • i8, i16, i32, i64, i128, isize
  • NonZeroU*, NonZeroI*
  • bool
  • char
  • String, CompactString
  • f32, f64
    • For floats we use ryu crate which sometimes provides different formatting than std
