Struct DecodeBuilder

pub struct DecodeBuilder<'a, I: AsRef<[u8]>> { /* private fields */ }

A builder for setting up the alphabet and output of a base58 decode.

See the documentation for bs58::decode for a more high level view of how to use this.

Implementations

impl<'a, I: AsRef<[u8]>> DecodeBuilder<'a, I>

pub const fn new(input: I, alpha: &'a Alphabet) -> DecodeBuilder<'a, I>

Setup decoder for the given string using the given alphabet. Preferably use bs58::decode instead of this directly.

pub const fn with_alphabet(self, alpha: &'a Alphabet) -> DecodeBuilder<'a, I>

Change the alphabet that will be used for decoding.

Examples

assert_eq!(
    vec![0x60, 0x65, 0xe7, 0x9b, 0xba, 0x2f, 0x78],
    bs58::decode("he11owor1d")
        .with_alphabet(bs58::Alphabet::RIPPLE)
        .into_vec()?);

pub fn into_vec(self) -> Result<Vec<u8>>

Decode into a new vector of bytes.

See the documentation for bs58::decode for an explanation of the errors that may occur.

Examples

assert_eq!(
    vec![0x04, 0x30, 0x5e, 0x2b, 0x24, 0x73, 0xf0, 0x58],
    bs58::decode("he11owor1d").into_vec()?);

pub fn onto(self, output: impl DecodeTarget) -> Result<usize>

Decode into the given buffer.

Returns the length written into the buffer.

If the buffer is resizeable it will be extended and the new data will be written to the end of it.

If the buffer is not resizeable bytes will be written from the beginning and bytes after the final encoded byte will not be touched.

See the documentation for bs58::decode for an explanation of the errors that may occur.

Examples

Vec<u8>

let mut output = b"hello ".to_vec();
assert_eq!(5, bs58::decode("EUYUqQf").onto(&mut output)?);
assert_eq!(b"hello world", output.as_slice());

&mut [u8]

let mut output = b"hello ".to_owned();
assert_eq!(5, bs58::decode("EUYUqQf").onto(&mut output)?);
assert_eq!(b"world ", output.as_ref());

impl<'a, 'b> DecodeBuilder<'a, &'b [u8]>

For const compatibility we are restricted to using a concrete input and output type, as const trait implementations and &mut are unstable. These methods will eventually be deprecated once the primary interfaces can be converted into const fn directly.

pub const fn into_array_const<const N: usize>(self) -> Result<[u8; N]>

Decode into a new array.

Returns the decoded array as bytes.

See the documentation for bs58::decode for an explanation of the errors that may occur.

Examples

const _: () = {
    let Ok(output) = bs58::decode(b"EUYUqQf".as_slice()).into_array_const::<5>() else {
        panic!()
    };
    assert!(matches!(&output, b"world"));
};

pub const fn into_array_const_unwrap<const N: usize>(self) -> [u8; N]

Self::into_array_const but the result will be unwrapped, turning any error into a panic message via Error::unwrap_const, as a simple into_array_const().unwrap() isn’t possible yet.

Examples

const _: () = {
    let output: [u8; 5] = bs58::decode(b"EUYUqQf".as_slice()).into_array_const_unwrap();
    assert!(matches!(&output, b"world"));
};

const _: () = {
    assert!(matches!(
        bs58::decode(b"he11owor1d".as_slice())
            .with_alphabet(bs58::Alphabet::RIPPLE)
            .into_array_const_unwrap(),
        [0x60, 0x65, 0xe7, 0x9b, 0xba, 0x2f, 0x78],
    ));
};
