See below for a basic usage of the crate. See the documentation for a detailed walkthrough.
Suppose that you have a generic type that either owns some data or holds a reference to them.
You can use this crate to implement on this type a method taking &self that either borrows from *self
or from behind a reference it holds:
use borrow_or_share::BorrowOrShare;
struct Text<T>(T);
impl<'i, 'o, T: BorrowOrShare<'i, 'o, str>> Text<T> {
fn as_str(&'i self) -> &'o str {
self.0.borrow_or_share()
}
}
// The returned reference is borrowed from `*text`
// and lives as long as `text`.
fn borrow(text: &Text<String>) -> &str {
text.as_str()
}
// The returned reference is borrowed from `*text.0`, lives
// longer than `text` and is said to be shared with `*text`.
fn share<'a>(text: &Text<&'a str>) -> &'a str {
text.as_str()
