Deque

A fixed size VecDeque for Rust to match the Python Deque functionality.

Implemented as a thin wrapper around std::collections::VecDeque with custom handling for push_back and push_front that prevents the VecDeque from growing past the set maximum length.

Once the deque is full, when a new item is pushed to the deque, an element from the opposite end is popped and returned.

use fixed_deque::Deque;

let mut deque: Deque<i32> = Deque::new(3);
deque.push_back(1);
deque.push_back(2);
deque.push_back(3);
deque.push_back(4);
assert_eq!(deque.len(), 3);
assert_eq!(deque.maxlen(), 3);
assert_eq!(deque.get(0), Some(&2));

let mut deque = Deque::from_vec(vec![1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0, 5.0], 5);
assert_eq!(deque.len(), 5);
let popped = deque.push_back(6.0);
assert_eq!(popped, Some(1.0));
assert_eq!(deque.len(), 5);

let mut deque: Deque<&str> = (vec!["a", "b", "c"], 5).into();
assert_eq!(deque.len(), 3);
assert_eq!(deque.maxlen(), 5);
assert_eq!(deque.front(), Some(&"a"));
deque.push_front("1");
deque.push_front("2");
deque.push_front("3");
assert_eq!(deque.front(), Some(&"3"));
assert_eq!(deque.back(), Some(&"b"));

Features

Optional serde feature that adds support for (de)serializing the Deque.

cargo add fixed_deque --features serde
