Struct rocket::form::Lenient

pub struct Lenient<T>(/* private fields */);

A form guard for parsing form types leniently.

This type implements the FromForm trait and thus can be used as a generic parameter to the Form data guard: Form<Lenient<T>>, where T implements FromForm. Unlike using Form directly, this type uses a lenient parsing strategy.

Lenient Parsing

A Lenient<T> will parse successfully from an incoming form even if the form contains extra or missing fields. If fields are missing, the form field type’s default will be used, if there is one. Extra fields are ignored; only the first is parsed and validated. This is the default strategy for Form.

Usage

Lenient<T> implements FromForm as long as T implements FromForm. As such, Form<Lenient<T>> is a data guard.

Note that Form<T> already parses leniently, so a Form<Lenient<T>> is redundant and equal to Form<T>. Lenient, however, can be used to make otherwise strict parses lenient, for example, in Option<Lenient<T>>:

use rocket::form::Lenient;

#[derive(FromForm)]
struct UserInput {
    // Parses as `Some(false)` when `lenient_inner_option` isn't present.
    // Without `Lenient`, this would otherwise parse as `None`.
    lenient_inner_option: Option<Lenient<bool>>,
}

Implementations

impl<T> Lenient<T>

pub fn into_inner(self) -> T

Consumes self and returns the inner value.

Note that since Lenient implements Deref and DerefMut with target T, reading and writing an inner value can be accomplished transparently.

Example

use rocket::form::{Form, Lenient};

#[derive(FromForm)]
struct MyForm {
    field: String,
}

#[post("/submit", data = "<form>")]
fn submit(form: Form<Lenient<MyForm>>) -> String {
    // We can read or mutate a value transparently:
    let field: &str = &form.field;

    // To gain ownership, however, use `into_inner()`:
    form.into_inner().into_inner().field
}
