}Expand description
An element stored in an IdHashMap.
This trait is used to define the key type for the map.
§Examples
use iddqd::{IdHashItem, IdHashMap, id_upcast};
// Define a struct with a key.
#[derive(Debug, PartialEq, Eq, Hash)]
struct MyItem {
    id: String,
    value: u32,
}
// Implement IdHashItem for the struct.
impl IdHashItem for MyItem {
    // Keys can borrow from the item.
    type Key<'a> = &'a str;
    fn key(&self) -> Self::Key<'_> {
        &self.id
    }
    id_upcast!();
}
// Create an IdHashMap and insert items.
let mut map = IdHashMap::new();
map.insert_unique(MyItem { id: "foo".to_string(), value: 42 }).unwrap();
map.insert_unique(MyItem { id: "bar".to_string(), value: 20 }).unwrap();Required Associated Types§
Required Methods§
Sourcefn upcast_key<'short, 'long: 'short>(
    long: Self::Key<'long>,
) -> Self::Key<'short>
 
fn upcast_key<'short, 'long: 'short>( long: Self::Key<'long>, ) -> Self::Key<'short>
Upcasts the key to a shorter lifetime, in effect asserting that the
lifetime 'a on IdHashItem::Key is covariant.
Typically implemented via the id_upcast macro.
Dyn Compatibility§
This trait is not dyn compatible.
In older versions of Rust, dyn compatibility was called "object safety", so this trait is not object safe.
