Struct once_cell::unsync::OnceCell

pub struct OnceCell<T> { /* fields omitted */ }

A cell which can be written to only once. Not thread safe.

Unlike :td::cell::RefCell, a OnceCell provides simple & references to the contents.

Example

use once_cell::unsync::OnceCell;

let cell = OnceCell::new();
assert!(cell.get().is_none());

let value: &String = cell.get_or_init(|| {
    "Hello, World!".to_string()
});
assert_eq!(value, "Hello, World!");
assert!(cell.get().is_some());

Methods

impl<T> OnceCell<T>

pub const fn new() -> OnceCell<T>

Creates a new empty cell.

pub fn get(&self) -> Option<&T>

Gets the reference to the underlying value.

Returns None if the cell is empty.

pub fn get_mut(&mut self) -> Option<&mut T>

Gets the mutable reference to the underlying value.

Returns None if the cell is empty.

pub fn set(&self, value: T) -> Result<(), T>

Sets the contents of this cell to value.

Returns Ok(()) if the cell was empty and Err(value) if it was full.

Example

use once_cell::unsync::OnceCell;

let cell = OnceCell::new();
assert!(cell.get().is_none());

assert_eq!(cell.set(92), Ok(()));
assert_eq!(cell.set(62), Err(62));

assert!(cell.get().is_some());

pub fn get_or_init<F>(&self, f: F) -> &T where
    F: FnOnce() -> T, 

Gets the contents of the cell, initializing it with f if the cell was empty.

Panics

If f panics, the panic is propagated to the caller, and the cell remains uninitialized.

It is an error to reentrantly initialize the cell from f. Doing so results in a panic.

Example

use once_cell::unsync::OnceCell;

let cell = OnceCell::new();
let value = cell.get_or_init(|| 92);
assert_eq!(value, &92);
let value = cell.get_or_init(|| unreachable!());
assert_eq!(value, &92);

pub fn get_or_try_init<F, E>(&self, f: F) -> Result<&T, E> where
    F: FnOnce() -> Result<T, E>, 

Gets the contents of the cell, initializing it with f if the cell was empty. If the cell was empty and f failed, an error is returned.

Panics

If f panics, the panic is propagated to the caller, and the cell remains uninitialized.

It is an error to reentrantly initialize the cell from f. Doing so results in a panic.

Example

use once_cell::unsync::OnceCell;

let cell = OnceCell::new();
assert_eq!(cell.get_or_try_init(|| Err(())), Err(()));
assert!(cell.get().is_none());
let value = cell.get_or_try_init(|| -> Result<i32, ()> {
    Ok(92)
});
assert_eq!(value, Ok(&92));
assert_eq!(cell.get(), Some(&92))

pub fn into_inner(self) -> Option<T>

Consumes the OnceCell, returning the wrapped value.

Returns None if the cell was empty.

Examples

use once_cell::unsync::OnceCell;

let cell: OnceCell<String> = OnceCell::new();
assert_eq!(cell.into_inner(), None);

let cell = OnceCell::new();
cell.set("hello".to_string()).unwrap();
assert_eq!(cell.into_inner(), Some("hello".to_string()));
