# `comp-rs`

Pure-macro Do notation and List-comprehension for Option, Result and Iterator.

It provides syntax extensions to easily combind wrapper type (`Option`, `Result` and `Iterator`), which seems like
`for-comprehension` in scala or `Do notation` in haskell.

### [**Documentation**](https://docs.rs/comp/)

## Usage

First, add the following to your `Cargo.toml`:

```toml
[dependencies]
comp = "*"
```

Next, add this to your crate root:

```rust
#[macro_use]
extern crate comp;
```

## Example

`comp-rs` delivers three macros : *`option!`*, *`result!`* and *`iter!`*,
transforming the `arrow(<-)` statements into FP bind (`flat_map`).

### Iterator

```rust
#[macro_use]
extern crate comp;

let iter = iter! {
let x <- 0..2u8;
let y <- vec!['a', 'b'];
(x, y)
};

for x in iter {
println!("{:?}", x);
}

// Print (0, 'a') (0, 'b') (1, 'a') (1, 'b')
```

It can be written like generator expressions in python:

```python
# Python
values = [6, 2, 9, 4, -1, 33, 87, 23]
result = (x*x for x in values if x < 10)
```

or in scala

```scala
// Scala
val values = Array(6, 2, 9, 4, -1, 33, 87, 23)
val result = for(x <- values if x < 10) yield x*x
```

in Rust

```rust
// comp-rs
// The result is of type FlatMap and also lazy, like Python's generator expressions.
let values = vec![6, 2, 9, 4, -1, 33, 87, 23];
let result = iter!{let x <- values; if x < 10; x*x};
```

### Option
```rust
#[macro_use]
extern crate comp;

let option = option! {
let a <- Some(1);
let b <- Some(2);
a + b
};

assert_eq!(option, Some(3));
```

### Result

Unlike `Iterator` and `Option`, rust provides __*Question Mark*__ syntax to combine `Result`s.

Let's see how `comp-rs` makes it more explicit and expressive.

#### Native way

```rust
#[macro_use]
extern crate comp;

use std::fs::File;
use std::io;
use std::io::prelude::*;

// try!() macro must be wrap into a function
fn content() -> io::Result {
let mut f = try!(File::open("foo.txt"));
let mut s = String::new();
try!(f.read_to_string(&mut s));
Ok(s)
}
```

#### Question mark

```rust
#[macro_use]
extern crate comp;

use std::fs::File;
use std::io;
use std::io::prelude::*;

// '?' mark must be wrap into a function
fn content() -> io::Result {
let mut f = File::open("foo.txt")?;
let mut s = String::new();
f.read_to_string(&mut s)?;
Ok(s)
}
```

#### `result!` way

```rust
#[macro_use]
extern crate comp;

use std::fs::File;
use std::io;
use std::io::prelude::*;

let content: io::Result = result! {
let mut f <- File::open("foo.txt");
let mut s = String::new();
let _ <- f.read_to_string(&mut s);
s
};
```
