Library for strings of fixed maximum lengths that can be copied and stack-allocated using const generics. Certain provided types such as `zstr<8>` and `str8` are smaller in size than a &str on typical systems. Recent improvements include a `Flexstr` type that uses an internal enum that can be either a fixed-capacity string or an owned String. #### Examples ``` let a:str8 = str8::from("abcdef"); //a str8 can hold up to 7 bytes let a2 = a; // copied, not moved let ab = a.substr(1,5); // copies substring to new string assert_eq!(ab, "bcde"); // can compare for equality with &str assert_eq!(ab.len(),4); println!("str8: {}", &a); // impls Display assert_eq!(&a[..3], "abc"); // impls Index for Range types assert!(a = fstr::from(a); // fstr is another fixedstr crate type let azstr:zstr<16> = zstr::from(a); // so is zstr let a32:str32 = a.resize(); // same kind of string but with 31-byte capacity let mut u = str8::from("aλb"); //unicode support assert_eq!(u.nth(1), Some('λ')); // get nth character assert_eq!(u.nth_ascii(3), 'b'); // get nth byte as ascii character assert!(u.set(1,'μ')); // changes a character of the same character class assert!(!u.set(1,'c')); // .set returns false on failure assert!(u.set(2,'c')); assert_eq!(u, "aμc"); assert_eq!(u.len(),4); // length in bytes assert_eq!(u.charlen(),3); // length in chars let mut ac:str16 = a.reallocate().unwrap(); //copies to larger capacity type let remainder = ac.push("ghijklmnopq"); //append up to capacity, returns remainder assert_eq!(ac.len(),15); assert_eq!(remainder, "pq"); ac.truncate(9); // keep first 9 chars assert_eq!(&ac,"abcdefghi"); let (upper,lower) = (str8::make("ABC"), str8::make("abc")); assert_eq!(upper, lower.to_ascii_upper()); // no owned String needed let c1 = str8::from("abcd"); // string concatenation with + for strN types let c2 = str8::from("xyz"); let c3 = c1 + c2; assert_eq!(c3,"abcdxyz"); assert_eq!(c3.capacity(),15); // type of c3 is str16 let c4 = str_format!(str16,"abc {}{}{}",1,2,3); // impls std::fmt::Write assert_eq!(c4,"abc 123"); //str_format! truncates if capacity exceeded let c5 = try_format!(str8,"abcdef{}","ghijklmn"); assert!(c5.is_none()); // try_format! returns None if capacity exceeded let mut s = >::from("abcd"); s[0] = b'A'; // impls IndexMut for zstr (not for fstr nor strN types) assert_eq!('A', ac.nth_ascii(0)); ``` Consult the [documentation](https://docs.rs/fixedstr/latest/fixedstr/) for details.
