Struct pest::Span

source · []
pub struct Span<'i> { /* private fields */ }
Expand description

A span over a &str. It is created from either two Positions or from a Pair.

Implementations

Attempts to create a new span. Will return None if input[start..end] is an invalid index into input.

Examples
let input = "Hello!";
assert_eq!(None, Span::new(input, 100, 0));
assert!(Span::new(input, 0, input.len()).is_some());

Returns the Span’s start byte position as a usize.

Examples
let input = "ab";
let start = Position::from_start(input);
let end = start.clone();
let span = start.span(&end);

assert_eq!(span.start(), 0);

Returns the Span’s end byte position as a usize.

Examples
let input = "ab";
let start = Position::from_start(input);
let end = start.clone();
let span = start.span(&end);

assert_eq!(span.end(), 0);

Returns the Span’s start Position.

Examples
let input = "ab";
let start = Position::from_start(input);
let end = start.clone();
let span = start.clone().span(&end);

assert_eq!(span.start_pos(), start);

Returns the Span’s end Position.

Examples
let input = "ab";
let start = Position::from_start(input);
let end = start.clone();
let span = start.span(&end);

assert_eq!(span.end_pos(), end);

Splits the Span into a pair of Positions.

Examples
let input = "ab";
let start = Position::from_start(input);
let end = start.clone();
let span = start.clone().span(&end);

assert_eq!(span.split(), (start, end));

Captures a slice from the &str defined by the Span.

Examples
enum Rule {}

let input = "abc";
let mut state: Box<pest::ParserState<Rule>> = pest::ParserState::new(input).skip(1).unwrap();
let start_pos = state.position().clone();
state = state.match_string("b").unwrap();
let span = start_pos.span(&state.position().clone());
assert_eq!(span.as_str(), "b");

Iterates over all lines (partially) covered by this span.

Examples
enum Rule {}

let input = "a\nb\nc";
let mut state: Box<pest::ParserState<Rule>> = pest::ParserState::new(input).skip(2).unwrap();
let start_pos = state.position().clone();
state = state.match_string("b\nc").unwrap();
let span = start_pos.span(&state.position().clone());
assert_eq!(span.lines().collect::<Vec<_>>(), vec!["b\n", "c"]);
