//
// This header file contains functions for joining a range of elements and
// returning the result as a string. StrJoin operations are specified by passing
// a range, a separator string to use between the elements joined, and an
// optional Formatter responsible for converting each argument in the range to a
// string. If omitted, a default `AlphaNumFormatter()` is called on the elements
// to be joined, using the same formatting that `absl::StrCat()` uses. This
// package defines a number of default formatters, and you can define your own
// implementations.
//
// Ranges are specified by passing a container with `std::begin()` and
// `std::end()` iterators, container-specific `begin()` and `end()` iterators, a
// brace-initialized `std::initializer_list`, or a `std::tuple` of heterogeneous
// objects. The separator string is specified as an `absl::string_view`.
//
// Because the default formatter uses the `absl::AlphaNum` class,
// `absl::StrJoin()`, like `absl::StrCat()`, will work out-of-the-box on
// collections of strings, ints, floats, doubles, etc.
//
// Example:
//
// std::vector<string> v = {"foo", "bar", "baz"};
// string s = absl::StrJoin(v, "-");
// EXPECT_EQ("foo-bar-baz", s);
//
// See comments on the `absl::StrJoin()` function for more examples.

// Concept: Formatter
// -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
//
// A Formatter is a function object that is responsible for formatting its
// argument as a string and appending it to a given output string. Formatters
// may be implemented as function objects, lambdas, or normal functions. You may
// provide your own Formatter to enable `absl::StrJoin()` to work with arbitrary
// types.
//
// The following is an example of a custom Formatter that simply uses
// `std::to_string()` to format an integer as a string.
//
// struct MyFormatter {
// void operator()(string* out, int i) const {
// out->append(std::to_string(i));
// }
// };
//
// You would use the above formatter by passing an instance of it as the final
// argument to `absl::StrJoin()`:
//
// std::vector<int> v = {1, 2, 3, 4};
// string s = absl::StrJoin(v, "-", MyFormatter());
// EXPECT_EQ("1-2-3-4", s);
//
// The following standard formatters are provided within this file:
//
// - `AlphaNumFormatter()` (the default)
// - `StreamFormatter()`
// - `PairFormatter()`
// - `DereferenceFormatter()`
// AlphaNumFormatter()
//
// Default formatter used if none is specified. Uses `absl::AlphaNum` to convert
// numeric arguments to strings.
inline strings_internal::AlphaNumFormatterImpl AlphaNumFormatter() {
return strings_internal::AlphaNumFormatterImpl();
}
// StreamFormatter()
//
// Formats its argument using the << operator.
inline strings_internal::StreamFormatterImpl StreamFormatter() {
return strings_internal::StreamFormatterImpl();
}
// Function Template: PairFormatter(Formatter, absl::string_view, Formatter)
//
// Formats a `std::pair` by putting a given separator between the pair's
// `.first` and `.second` members. This formatter allows you to specify
// custom Formatters for both the first and second member of each pair.
template <typename FirstFormatter, typename SecondFormatter>
inline strings_internal::PairFormatterImpl<FirstFormatter, SecondFormatter>
PairFormatter(FirstFormatter f1, absl::string_view sep, SecondFormatter f2) {
return strings_internal::PairFormatterImpl<FirstFormatter, SecondFormatter>(
std::move(f1), sep, std::move(f2));
}
// Function overload of PairFormatter() for using a default
// `AlphaNumFormatter()` for each Formatter in the pair.
inline strings_internal::PairFormatterImpl<
strings_internal::AlphaNumFormatterImpl,
strings_internal::AlphaNumFormatterImpl>
PairFormatter(absl::string_view sep) {
return PairFormatter(AlphaNumFormatter(), sep, AlphaNumFormatter());
}
// Function Template: DereferenceFormatter(Formatter)
//
// Formats its argument by dereferencing it and then applying the given
// formatter. This formatter is useful for formatting a container of
// pointer-to-T. This pattern often shows up when joining repeated fields in
// protocol buffers.

// `AlphaNumFormatter()`.

// -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
// StrJoin()
// -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
//
// Joins a range of elements and returns the result as a string.
// `absl::StrJoin()` takes a range, a separator string to use between the
// elements joined, and an optional Formatter responsible for converting each
// argument in the range to a string.
//
// If omitted, the default `AlphaNumFormatter()` is called on the elements to be
// joined.
//
// Example 1:
// // Joins a collection of strings. This pattern also works with a collection
// // of `absl::string_view` or even `const char*`.
// std::vector<string> v = {"foo", "bar", "baz"};
// string s = absl::StrJoin(v, "-");
// EXPECT_EQ("foo-bar-baz", s);
//
// Example 2:
// // Joins the values in the given `std::initializer_list<>` specified using
// // brace initialization. This pattern also works with an initializer_list
// // of ints or `absl::string_view` -- any `AlphaNum`-compatible type.
// string s = absl::StrJoin({"foo", "bar", "baz"}, "-");
// EXPECT_EQ("foo-bar-baz", s);
//
// Example 3:
// // Joins a collection of ints. This pattern also works with floats,
// // doubles, int64s -- any `StrCat()`-compatible type.
// std::vector<int> v = {1, 2, 3, -4};
// string s = absl::StrJoin(v, "-");
// EXPECT_EQ("1-2-3--4", s);
//
// Example 4:
// // Joins a collection of pointer-to-int. By default, pointers are
// // dereferenced and the pointee is formatted using the default format for
// // that type; such dereferencing occurs for all levels of indirection, so
// // this pattern works just as well for `std::vector<int**>` as for
// // `std::vector<int*>`.
// int x = 1, y = 2, z = 3;
// std::vector<int*> v = {&x, &y, &z};
// string s = absl::StrJoin(v, "-");
// EXPECT_EQ("1-2-3", s);
//
// Example 5:
// // Dereferencing of `std::unique_ptr<>` is also supported:
// std::vector<std::unique_ptr<int>> v
// v.emplace_back(new int(1));
// v.emplace_back(new int(2));
// v.emplace_back(new int(3));
// string s = absl::StrJoin(v, "-");
// EXPECT_EQ("1-2-3", s);
//
// Example 6:
// // Joins a `std::map`, with each key-value pair separated by an equals
// // sign. This pattern would also work with, say, a
// // `std::vector<std::pair<>>`.
// std::map<string, int> m = {
// std::make_pair("a", 1),
// std::make_pair("b", 2),
// std::make_pair("c", 3)};
// string s = absl::StrJoin(m, ",", absl::PairFormatter("="));
// EXPECT_EQ("a=1,b=2,c=3", s);
//
// Example 7:
// // These examples show how `absl::StrJoin()` handles a few common edge
// // cases:
// std::vector<string> v_empty;
// EXPECT_EQ("", absl::StrJoin(v_empty, "-"));
//
// std::vector<string> v_one_item = {"foo"};
// EXPECT_EQ("foo", absl::StrJoin(v_one_item, "-"));
//
// std::vector<string> v_empty_string = {""};
// EXPECT_EQ("", absl::StrJoin(v_empty_string, "-"));
//
// std::vector<string> v_one_item_empty_string = {"a", ""};
// EXPECT_EQ("a-", absl::StrJoin(v_one_item_empty_string, "-"));
//
// std::vector<string> v_two_empty_string = {"", ""};
// EXPECT_EQ("-", absl::StrJoin(v_two_empty_string, "-"));
//
// Example 8:
// // Joins a `std::tuple<T...>` of heterogeneous types, converting each to
// // a string using the `absl::AlphaNum` class.
// string s = absl::StrJoin(std::make_tuple(123, "abc", 0.456), "-");
// EXPECT_EQ("123-abc-0.456", s);
