Conversion from an Iterator
.
By implementing FromIterator
for a type, you define how it will be
created from an iterator. This is common for types which describe a
collection of some kind.
If you want to create a collection from the contents of an iterator, the
Iterator::collect()
method is preferred. However, when you need to
specify the container type, FromIterator::from_iter()
can be more
readable than using a turbofish (e.g. ::<Vec<_>>()
). See the
Iterator::collect()
documentation for more examples of its use.
See also: IntoIterator
.
§Examples
Basic usage:
let five_fives = std::iter::repeat(5).take(5);
let v = Vec::from_iter(five_fives);
assert_eq!(v, vec![5, 5, 5, 5, 5]);
Using Iterator::collect()
to implicitly use FromIterator
:
let five_fives = std::iter::repeat(5).take(5);
let v: Vec<i32> = five_fives.collect();
assert_eq!(v, vec![5, 5, 5, 5, 5]);
Using FromIterator::from_iter()
as a more readable alternative to
Iterator::collect()
:
use std::collections::VecDeque;
let first = (0..10).collect::<VecDeque<i32>>();
let second = VecDeque::from_iter(0..10);
assert_eq!(first, second);
Implementing FromIterator
for your type:
// A sample collection, that's just a wrapper over Vec<T>
#[derive(Debug)]
struct MyCollection(Vec<i32>);
// Let's give it some methods so we can create one and add things
// to it.
impl MyCollection {
fn new() -> MyCollection {
MyCollection(Vec::new())
}
fn add(&mut self, elem: i32) {
self.0.push(elem);
}
}
// and we'll implement FromIterator
impl FromIterator<i32> for MyCollection {
fn from_iter<I: IntoIterator<Item=i32>>(iter: I) -> Self {
let mut c = MyCollection::new();
for i in iter {
c.add(i);
}
c
}
}
// Now we can make a new iterator...
let iter = (0..5).into_iter();
// ... and make a MyCollection out of it
let c = MyCollection::from_iter(iter);
assert_eq!(c.0, vec![0, 1, 2, 3, 4]);
// collect works too!
let iter = (0..5).into_iter();
let c: MyCollection = iter.collect();
assert_eq!(c.0, vec![0, 1, 2, 3, 4]);

Implementors§
impl FromIterator<()> for ()
Collapses all unit items from an iterator into one.
This is more useful when combined with higher-level abstractions, like
collecting to a Result<(), E>
where you only care about errors:
impl<A, B, AE, BE> FromIterator<(AE, BE)> for (A, B)
This implementation turns an iterator of tuples into a tuple of types which implement
Default
and Extend
.
This is similar to Iterator::unzip
, but is also composable with other FromIterator
implementations:
