EnumMap for Rust

Contribution guide | Apache v2 license

A map of enum variants to values. EnumMap is a fixed-size map, where each variant of the enum is mapped to a value. This implementation of EnumMap uses safe Rust only and is a a zero-cost abstraction over an array (const-sized), where the index of the array corresponds to the position of the variant in the enum.

Because it is a thin wrapper over an array, it is stack-allocated by default. Simply std::boxed::Boxing it will move it to the heap, at the caller's discretion.

• Indexed by enum variants.
• IndexMut by enum variants.
• Debug if the enum is Debug.
• PartialEq if the value is PartialEq. Same for Eq.

Debug and Eq are optional features. They are enabled by default.

Usage

Please refer to the documentation for a complete list of features and more in-depth documentation.

use enum_collections::{EnumMap, Enumerated, em, em_default, em_option};

#[derive(Enumerated)]
pub enum Letter {
   A,
   B,
}

// Indexing and mutation
// The SIZE hint is required until [generic_const_expr](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/76560) are stabilized.
let mut enum_map = EnumMap::<Letter, i32, { Letter::SIZE }>::new_default();
assert_eq!(0, enum_map[Letter::A]);
enum_map[Letter::A] = 42;
assert_eq!(42, enum_map[Letter::A]);

// Construction using macros
// (Key type, Value type, Key=>Value pairs)
let enum_map = em!(Letter, i32,  A=>42, B=>24); // All values set explicitly
assert_eq!(42, enum_map[Letter::A]);
assert_eq!(24, enum_map[Letter::B]);

// (Key type, Value type, optional Key=>Value pairs)
let enum_map = em_default!(Letter, i32, A => 42); // Default used for missing values
assert_eq!(42, enum_map[Letter::A]);
assert_eq!(i32::default(), enum_map[Letter::B]);

let enum_map = em_default!(Letter, i32,); // All default
assert_eq!(i32::default(), enum_map[Letter::A]);
assert_eq!(i32::default(), enum_map[Letter::B]);

// EnumMap of optional values `Option<V>`, value type is automatically wrapped in `Option`.
// (Key type, Value type, optional Key=>Value pairs)
let enum_map = em_option!(Letter, i32, A => 42);
assert_eq!(Some(42), enum_map[Letter::A]);
assert_eq!(None, enum_map[Letter::B]);

// Constructor with default values
let enum_map_default = EnumMap::<Letter, i32, { Letter::SIZE }>::new_default();
assert_eq!(0, enum_map_default[Letter::A]);
assert_eq!(0, enum_map_default[Letter::B]);

// Convenience constructor for optional values
let mut enum_map_option = EnumMap::<Letter, Option<i32>, { Letter::SIZE }>::new_option();
assert_eq!(None, enum_map_option[Letter::A]);
assert_eq!(None, enum_map_option[Letter::B]);
enum_map_option[Letter::A] = Some(42);
assert_eq!(Some(42), enum_map_option[Letter::A]);

// Constructor with custom initialization
#[derive(PartialEq, Eq, Debug)]
struct Custom;
let enum_map = EnumMap::<Letter, Custom, { Letter::SIZE }>::new(|| Custom);
assert_eq!(Custom, enum_map[Letter::A]);
assert_eq!(Custom, enum_map[Letter::B]);

// Custom initialization function with enum variant (key) inspection
let enum_map = EnumMap::<Letter, i32, { Letter::SIZE }>::new_inspect(|letter| {
   match letter {
      Letter::A => 42,
      Letter::B => 24,
   }
});
assert_eq!(42, enum_map[Letter::A]);
assert_eq!(24, enum_map[Letter::B]);

// Debug
#[derive(Enumerated, Debug)]
pub enum LetterDebugDerived {
   A,
   B,
}
let enum_map_debug =
    EnumMap::<LetterDebugDerived, i32, { LetterDebugDerived::SIZE }>::new(|| 42);
assert_eq!("{A: 42, B: 42}", format!("{:?}", enum_map_debug));

Iterate over enum variants

#[derive(Enumerated, Debug)]
pub enum Letter {
   A,
   B,
}

Letter::VARIANTS
    .iter()
    .for_each(|letter| println!("{:?}", letter));

Features

Portions of functionality are feature-flagged, but enabled by default. This is to allow turning this functionality off when not needed, e.g. Debug and Eq implementations. See docs.rs for details.

Benchmarks
