# [−][src]Struct core::lazy::OnceCell

    pub struct OnceCell<T> { /* fields omitted */ }

🔬 This is a nightly-only experimental API. (`once_cell` #74465)

A cell which can be written to only once.

Unlike `RefCell`, a `OnceCell` only provides shared `&T` references to its value. Unlike `Cell`, a `OnceCell` doesn't require copying or replacing the value to access it.

# Examples

    #![feature(once_cell)]

    use std::lazy::OnceCell;

    let cell = OnceCell::new();
    assert!(cell.get().is_none());

    let value: &String = cell.get_or_init(|| {
        "Hello, World!".to_string()
    });
    assert_eq!(value, "Hello, World!");
    assert!(cell.get().is_some());

## Implementations

### `impl<T> OnceCell<T>`[src]

#### `pub const fn new() -> OnceCell<T>`[src]

🔬 This is a nightly-only experimental API. (`once_cell` #74465)

Creates a new empty cell.

#### `pub fn get(&self) -> Option<&T>`[src]

🔬 This is a nightly-only experimental API. (`once_cell` #74465)

Gets the reference to the underlying value.

Returns `None` if the cell is empty.

#### `pub fn get_mut(&mut self) -> Option<&mut T>`[src]

🔬 This is a nightly-only experimental API. (`once_cell` #74465)

Gets the mutable reference to the underlying value.

Returns `None` if the cell is empty.

#### `pub fn set(&self, value: T) -> Result<(), T>`[src]

🔬 This is a nightly-only experimental API. (`once_cell` #74465)

Sets the contents of the cell to `value`.

# Errors

This method returns `Ok(())` if the cell was empty and `Err(value)` if it was full.

# Examples

    #![feature(once_cell)]

    use std::lazy::OnceCell;

    let cell = OnceCell::new();
    assert!(cell.get().is_none());

    assert_eq!(cell.set(92), Ok(()));
    assert_eq!(cell.set(62), Err(62));

    assert!(cell.get().is_some());

Run

#### `pub fn get_or_init<F>(&self, f: F) -> &T where
F: FnOnce() -> T,` [src]

🔬 This is a nightly-only experimental API. (`once_cell` #74465)

Gets the contents of the cell, initializing it with `f` if the cell was empty.

# Panics

If `f` panics, the panic is propagated to the caller, and the cell remains uninitialized.

It is an error to reentrantly initialize the cell from `f`. Doing so results in a panic.

# Examples

    #![feature(once_cell)]

    use std::lazy::OnceCell;

    let cell = OnceCell::new();
    let value = cell.get_or_init(|| 92);
    assert_eq!(value, &92);
    let value = cell.get_or_init(|| unreachable!());
    assert_eq!(value, &92);

Run

#### `pub fn get_or_try_init<F, E>(&self, f: F) -> Result<&T, E> where
F: FnOnce() -> Result<T, E>,` [src]

🔬 This is a nightly-only experimental API. (`once_cell` #74465)

Gets the contents of the cell, initializing it with `f` if the cell was empty. If the cell was empty and `f` failed, an error is returned.

# Panics

If `f` panics, the panic is propagated to the caller, and the cell remains uninitialized.

It is an error to reentrantly initialize the cell from `f`. Doing so results in a panic.

# Examples

    #![feature(once_cell)]

    use std::lazy::OnceCell;

    let cell = OnceCell::new();
    assert_eq!(cell.get_or_try_init(|| Err(())), Err(()));
    assert!(cell.get().is_none());
    let value = cell.get_or_try_init(|| -> Result<i32, ()> {
        Ok(92)
    });
    assert_eq!(value, Ok(&92));
    assert_eq!(cell.get(), Some(&92))

Run

#### `pub fn into_inner(self) -> Option<T>`[src]

🔬 This is a nightly-only experimental API. (`once_cell` #74465)

Consumes the cell, returning the wrapped value.

Returns `None` if the cell was empty.

# Examples

    #![feature(once_cell)]

    use std::lazy::OnceCell;

    let cell: OnceCell<String> = OnceCell::new();
    assert_eq!(cell.into_inner(), None);

    let cell = OnceCell::new();
    cell.set("hello".to_string()).unwrap();
    assert_eq!(cell.into_inner(), Some("hello".to_string()));

Run

#### `pub fn take(&mut self) -> Option<T>`[src]

🔬 This is a nightly-only experimental API. (`once_cell` #74465)

Takes the value out of this `OnceCell`, moving it back to an uninitialized state.

Has no effect and returns `None` if the `OnceCell` hasn't been initialized.

Safety is guaranteed by requiring a mutable reference.

# Examples

    #![feature(once_cell)]

    use std::lazy::OnceCell;

    let mut cell: OnceCell<String> = OnceCell::new();
    assert_eq!(cell.take(), None);

    let mut cell = OnceCell::new();
    cell.set("hello".to_string()).unwrap();
    assert_eq!(cell.take(), Some("hello".to_string()));
    assert_eq!(cell.get(), None);
