//! This file defines the expected behaviours of a builder of graphs. use crate::{error::Error, Graph}; /// A builder is actually just a graph that can be altered in more /// ways than an extension graph can.

This type should be the type of the /// labels. type Label; /// The type of the result graph. type Result: Graph; /// Construct an empty builder with the capacity to hold a given /// number of nodes. /// /// Implementations may ignore this method, where the default /// implementation just calls `Default::default`. #[inline] fn with_capacity(_size: usize) -> Self { Self::default() } /// Add a vertex without children. fn add_vertex(&mut self) -> usize; /// Add an edge from the source to the target. fn add_edge(&mut self, source: usize, target: usize, label: Self::Label) -> Result<(), Error>; /// Remove an edge from the source to the target. /// /// Since some graphs are labelled, the users are allowed to pass /// a predicate to determine if an edge from the source to the /// target should be removed. fn remove_edge(&mut self, source: usize, target: usize, predicate: F) -> Result<(), Error> where F: Fn(Self::Label) -> bool; /// Convert the builder into a graph. /// /// This is the purpose of having a builder. fn build(self) -> Self::Result; /// Convert the builder into a graph using a reference. /// /// This is similar to [`build`][Builder::build], but takes an /// immutable reference of the builder, so that the builder can /// still be used later on. fn build_ref(&self) -> Self::Result; }
