tuple-conv

License: MIT Docs Version Build Status

tuple-conv provides simple tools for converting tuples with repeated elements into vectors of that type. Repeated tuples are of the form: (T, T, ... T) - composed entirely of elements with type T.

More information can be found in the documentation.

Example

let t = (0, 1, 2);
let v = t.to_vec();
assert_eq!(v, [0, 1, 2]);

Motivation

The primary motivation for this package is syntactic elegance. In Python, we can easily convert tuples to lists with:

t = (1, 2, 3)
l = list(t)

This isn't typically possible in Rust, however, because each tuple is a distinct type. This isn't too bad, but repeated API calls warrant better syntax. tuple-conv provides a way of removing vec![] macro calls and get a bit more syntactical sugar without making every part of the public-facing API a macro.
