Language Integrated Query in Rust (created by declarative macros).

- Inspired by [LINQ in .NET](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/csharp/linq/).
- [What's LINQ](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Language_Integrated_Query)

**This project is under development!** API might be **changed**.

## Quick Start

This is an example:

```rust
use linq::linq;
use linq::Queryable;

fn try_linq_methods() {
let x = 1..100;
let mut y: Vec = x.clone().filter(|p| p <= &5).collect();
y.sort_by_key(|t| -t);
let y: Vec = y.into_iter().map(|t| t * 2).collect();
let e: Vec = x
.clone()
.where_by(|p| p <= &5)
.order_by(|p| -p)
.select(|p| p * 2)
.collect();
assert_eq!(e, y);
}

fn try_linq_expr() {
let x = 1..100;
let mut y: Vec = x.clone().filter(|p| p <= &5).collect();
y.sort_by_key(|t| -t);
let y: Vec = y.into_iter().map(|t| t * 2).collect();
let e: Vec =
linq!(from p in x.clone(), where p <= &5, orderby -p, select p * 2).collect();
assert_eq!(e, y);
}
```

If you are familier with LINQ in C#, you will find this is easy to use.

## Usage

The two imports is necessary:

```rust
use linq::linq; // for `linq!` macro
use linq::iter::Enumerable; // for LINQ methods and `linq!` macro
```

### Methods

The trait `linq::Queryable` supports LINQ methods on `Iterator`. You can find the correspondences below.

- Normal items mean they are builtin methods of `Iterator` in std.
- **Bold** items mean they are implemented in this project. You can find them in module `linq::iter` (but they are private so that you can't import them).
- *Italic* items mean they are not in roadmap. Happy for your suggestions.

### Expressions

The query expression begins with `from` clause and ends with `select` clause. Use `,` to seperate every clause.

```rust
linq!(from x in coll, select x)
```

Now we supports these keywords:

- [x] from
- [x] from (`select_many_single`)
- [x] zfrom (`select_many`)
- [x] in
- [x] select
- [x] where
- [x] orderby
- [x] descending
- [ ] group_by
- [ ] more...

### From

```rust
from in ,
```

Also you can enumerate elements of each set in the collection (Attention: for this type, you can't access the value that is in the first `from` clause in `select` clause):

```rust
let x = 1..5;
let y = vec![0, 0, 1, 0, 1, 2, 0, 1, 2, 3];
let e: Vec = linq!(from p in x.clone(), from t in 0..p, select t).collect();

assert_eq!(e, y);
```

If you want to zip or enumerate value-pairs of two sets, use `zfrom` for the second `from`:

```rust
let x = 1..5;
let y = vec![
(1, 0),
(2, 0),
(2, 1),
(3, 0),
(3, 1),
(3, 2),
(4, 0),
(4, 1),
(4, 2),
(4, 3),
];
let e: Vec<_> = linq!(from p in x.clone(), zfrom t in 0..p, select (p,t)).collect();

assert_eq!(e, y);
```

The expression in `zfrom` recieve the cloned value in the first `from`,
and the elements in two sets will be cloned for `select` clause.

### Where

```rust
while ,
```

You can use `where` clause in single-from query, and the expression will recieve a variable named the `id` in `from` clause. The expression need to return a boolean value.

### Orderby

```rust
orderby ,
orderby , descending,
```

You can use `orderby` clause in single-from query. This query will collect the iterator, and sort them by the expression, then return the new iterator.

## Development

We need more unit-test samples. If you have any ideas, open issues to tell us.

Since the expression procedural macros is not stable, I only create macros by declarative macros.

```sh
$ cargo test
```
