Rust is so cool!
Let's say I want to check a struct to see if it has a field or not, and based on that, generate a new value for said field.
fn match() {
let mut shortcode = String::new();
// check if the user wants the shortcode to be generated or if they want us to generate one
match &new_url.shortcode {
Some(custom_shortcode) => {
shortcode = custom_shortcode.to_string();
}
None => {
// need to generate
shortcode = generate_random_shortcode();
}
}
}
I can instead do -
fn match() {
let mut shortcode = match &new_url.shortcode {
Some(custom_shortcode) => {
custom_shortcode.to_string();
}
None => {
generate_random_shortcode();
}
};
}
How Cool is that?
