Vet

A library for validation of arbitrary types.

Usage

Add a dependency entry in Cargo.toml.

[dependencies]
vet = "0.1"

use vet::{Vet, Vetted};

#[derive(Debug)]
struct Username(String);

#[derive(Debug, PartialEq)]
enum UsernameVetError {
    TooShort,
    TooLong,
    InvalidChar,
}

impl Vet for Username {
    type VetError = UsernameVetError;
    fn is_valid(&self) -> Result<(), Self::VetError> {
        if self.0.len() < 3 {
            return Err(Self::VetError::TooShort);
        }
        if self.0.len() > 32 {
            return Err(Self::VetError::TooLong);
        }
        if self.0.chars().any(|c| !c.is_alphanumeric()) {
            return Err(Self::VetError::InvalidChar);
        }
        Ok(())
    }
}

fn main() {
    let username = Username(String::from("hi"));
    assert_eq!(username.is_valid(), Err(UsernameVetError::TooShort));
    
    let username = Username(String::from("benjamin"));
    match username.vet() {
        Ok(username) => create_account(username),
        Err(error) => println!("Could not create account: {:?}", error),
    }
}

fn create_account(username: Vetted<Username>) {
    println!("Account {:?} created", username);
}
