Function std::iter::once
pub fn once<T>(value: T) -> Once<T>ⓘNotable traits for Once<T>impl<T> Iterator for Once<T> type Item = T;
Creates an iterator that yields an element exactly once.
This is commonly used to adapt a single value into a chain()
of other kinds of iteration. Maybe you have an iterator that covers almost everything, but you need an extra special case. Maybe you have a function which works on iterators, but you only need to process one value.
Examples
Basic usage:
use std::iter; // one is the loneliest number let mut one = iter::once(1); assert_eq!(Some(1), one.next()); // just one, that's all we get assert_eq!(None, one.next());
Chaining together with another iterator. Let’s say that we want to iterate over each file of the .foo
directory, but also a configuration file, .foorc
:
use std::iter; use std::fs; use std::path::PathBuf; let dirs = fs::read_dir(".foo").unwrap(); // we need to convert from an iterator of DirEntry-s to an iterator of // PathBufs, so we use map let dirs = dirs.map(|file| file.unwrap().path()); // now, our iterator just for our config file let config = iter::once(PathBuf::from(".foorc")); // chain the two iterators together into one big iterator let files = dirs.chain(config); // this will give us all of the files in .foo as well as .foorc for f in files { println!("{:?}", f); }
