Module fill

Deferred value initialization.

The Fill trait is a way to bridge APIs that may not be directly compatible with other constructor methods.

The Fill trait is automatically implemented for closures, so can usually be used in libraries that can’t implement the trait themselves.

use value_bag::{ValueBag, fill::Slot};

let value = ValueBag::from_fill(&|slot: Slot| {
    #[derive(Debug)]
    struct MyShortLivedValue;

    slot.fill_debug(&MyShortLivedValue)
});

assert_eq!("MyShortLivedValue", format!("{:?}", value));

The trait can also be implemented manually:

use value_bag::{ValueBag, Error, fill::{Slot, Fill}};

struct FillDebug;

impl Fill for FillDebug {
    fn fill(&self, slot: Slot) -> Result<(), Error> {
        slot.fill_debug(&42i64 as &dyn Debug)
    }
}

let value = ValueBag::from_fill(&FillDebug);

assert_eq!(None, value.to_i64());

Structs
