impl<T> Option<T>

const: 1.48.0 · source

pub const fn is_some(&self) -> bool

Returns true if the option is a Some value.

Examples
let x: Option<u32> = Some(2);
assert_eq!(x.is_some(), true);

let x: Option<u32> = None;
assert_eq!(x.is_some(), false);
Run
1.70.0 · source

pub fn is_some_and(self, f: impl FnOnce(T) -> bool) -> bool

Returns true if the option is a Some and the value inside of it matches a predicate.

Examples
let x: Option<u32> = Some(2);
assert_eq!(x.is_some_and(|x| x > 1), true);

let x: Option<u32> = Some(0);
assert_eq!(x.is_some_and(|x| x > 1), false);

let x: Option<u32> = None;
assert_eq!(x.is_some_and(|x| x > 1), false);
Run
const: 1.48.0 · source

pub const fn is_none(&self) -> bool

Returns true if the option is a None value.

Examples
let x: Option<u32> = Some(2);
assert_eq!(x.is_none(), false);

let x: Option<u32> = None;
assert_eq!(x.is_none(), true);
Run
const: 1.48.0 · source

pub const fn as_ref(&self) -> Option<&T>

Converts from &Option<T> to Option<&T>.

Examples

Calculates the length of an Option<String> as an Option<usize> without moving the String. The map method takes the self argument by value, consuming the original, so this technique uses as_ref to first take an Option to a reference to the value inside the original.

let text: Option<String> = Some("Hello, world!".to_string());
// First, cast `Option<String>` to `Option<&String>` with `as_ref`,
// then consume *that* with `map`, leaving `text` on the stack.
let text_length: Option<usize> = text.as_ref().map(|s| s.len());
println!("still can print text: {text:?}");

pub fn as_mut(&mut self) -> Option<&mut T>

Converts from &mut Option<T> to Option<&mut T>.

Examples
let mut x = Some(2);
match x.as_mut() {
    Some(v) => *v = 42,
    None => {},
}
assert_eq!(x, Some(42));

pub fn as_slice(&self) -> &[T]

Returns a slice of the contained value, if any. If this is None, an empty slice is returned. This can be useful to have a single type of iterator over an Option or slice.

Note: Should you have an Option<&T> and wish to get a slice of T, you can unpack it via opt.map_or(&[], std::slice::from_ref).

Examples
assert_eq!(
    [Some(1234).as_slice(), None.as_slice()],
    [&[1234][..], &[][..]],
);
Run

The inverse of this function is (discounting borrowing) [_]::first:

for i in [Some(1234_u16), None] {
    assert_eq!(i.as_ref(), i.as_slice().first());
}
Run

pub fn as_mut_slice(&mut self) -> &mut [T]

Returns a mutable slice of the contained value, if any. If this is None, an empty slice is returned. This can be useful to have a single type of iterator over an Option or slice.

Note: Should you have an Option<&mut T> instead of a &mut Option<T>, which this method takes, you can obtain a mutable slice via opt.map_or(&mut [], std::slice::from_mut).

Examples
assert_eq!(
    [Some(1234).as_mut_slice(), None.as_mut_slice()],
    [&mut [1234][..], &mut [][..]],
);
Run

The result is a mutable slice of zero or one items that points into our original Option:

let mut x = Some(1234);
x.as_mut_slice()[0] += 1;
assert_eq!(x, Some(1235));
Run

The inverse of this method (discounting borrowing) is [_]::first_mut:

assert_eq!(Some(123).as_mut_slice().first_mut(), Some(&mut 123))
Run
const: unstable · source

pub fn expect(self, msg: &str) -> T

Returns the contained Some value, consuming the self value.

Panics

Panics if the value is a None with a custom panic message provided by msg.

Examples
let x = Some("value");
assert_eq!(x.expect("fruits are healthy"), "value");
Run
let x: Option<&str> = None;
x.expect("fruits are healthy"); // panics with `fruits are healthy`
Run

We recommend that expect messages are used to describe the reason you expect the Option should be Some.

let item = slice.get(0)
    .expect("slice should not be empty");
Run

Hint: If you’re having trouble remembering how to phrase expect error messages remember to focus on the word “should” as in “env variable should be set by blah” or “the given binary should be available and executable by the current user”.

For more detail on expect message styles and the reasoning behind our recommendation please refer to the section on “Common Message Styles” in the std::error module docs.

pub fn unwrap(self) -> T

Returns the contained Some value, consuming the self value.

Because this function may panic, its use is generally discouraged. Instead, prefer to use pattern matching and handle the None case explicitly, or call unwrap_or, unwrap_or_else, or unwrap_or_default.

Panics

Panics if the self value equals None.

Examples
let x = Some("air");
assert_eq!(x.unwrap(), "air");
Run
let x: Option<&str> = None;
assert_eq!(x.unwrap(), "air"); // fails
Run
source

pub fn unwrap_or(self, default: T) -> T

Returns the contained Some value or a provided default.

Arguments passed to unwrap_or are eagerly evaluated; if you are passing the result of a function call, it is recommended to use unwrap_or_else, which is lazily evaluated.

Examples
assert_eq!(Some("car").unwrap_or("bike"), "car");
assert_eq!(None.unwrap_or("bike"), "bike");
Run
source

pub fn unwrap_or_else<F>(self, f: F) -> Twhere F: FnOnce() -> T,

Returns the contained Some value or computes it from a closure.

Examples
let k = 10;
assert_eq!(Some(4).unwrap_or_else(|| 2 * k), 4);
assert_eq!(None.unwrap_or_else(|| 2 * k), 20);
Run
source

pub fn unwrap_or_default(self) -> Twhere T: Default,

Returns the contained Some value or a default.

Consumes the self argument then, if Some, returns the contained value, otherwise if None, returns the default value for that type.

Examples
let x: Option<u32> = None;
let y: Option<u32> = Some(12);

assert_eq!(x.unwrap_or_default(), 0);
assert_eq!(y.unwrap_or_default(), 12);
Run
1.58.0 (const: unstable) · source

pub unsafe fn unwrap_unchecked(self) -> T

Returns the contained Some value, consuming the self value, without checking that the value is not None.

Safety

Calling this method on None is undefined behavior.

Examples
let x = Some("air");
assert_eq!(unsafe { x.unwrap_unchecked() }, "air");
Run
let x: Option<&str> = None;
assert_eq!(unsafe { x.unwrap_unchecked() }, "air"); // Undefined behavior!
Run
source

pub fn map<U, F>(self, f: F) -> Option<U>where F: FnOnce(T) -> U,

Maps an Option<T> to Option<U> by applying a function to a contained value (if Some) or returns None (if None).

Examples

Calculates the length of an Option<String> as an Option<usize>, consuming the original:

let maybe_some_string = Some(String::from("Hello, World!"));
// `Option::map` takes self *by value*, consuming `maybe_some_string`
let maybe_some_len = maybe_some_string.map(|s| s.len());
assert_eq!(maybe_some_len, Some(13));

let x: Option<&str> = None;
assert_eq!(x.map(|s| s.len()), None);
Run

pub fn inspect<F: FnOnce(&T)>(self, f: F) -> Self

Calls the provided closure with a reference to the contained value (if Some).

Examples
let v = vec![1, 2, 3, 4, 5];

// prints "got: 4"
let x: Option<&usize> = v.get(3).inspect(|x| println!("got: {x}"));

// prints nothing
let x: Option<&usize> = v.get(5).inspect(|x| println!("got: {x}"));
Run
source

pub fn map_or<U, F>(self, default: U, f: F) -> Uwhere F: FnOnce(T) -> U,

Returns the provided default result (if none), or applies a function to the contained value (if any).

Arguments passed to map_or are eagerly evaluated; if you are passing the result of a function call, it is recommended to use map_or_else, which is lazily evaluated.

Examples
let x = Some("foo");
assert_eq!(x.map_or(42, |v| v.len()), 3);

let x: Option<&str> = None;
assert_eq!(x.map_or(42, |v| v.len()), 42);
Run
source

pub fn map_or_else<U, D, F>(self, default: D, f: F) -> Uwhere D: FnOnce() -> U, F: FnOnce(T) -> U,

Computes a default function result (if none), or applies a different function to the contained value (if any).

Basic examples
let k = 21;

let x = Some("foo");
assert_eq!(x.map_or_else(|| 2 * k, |v| v.len()), 3);

let x: Option<&str> = None;
assert_eq!(x.map_or_else(|| 2 * k, |v| v.len()), 42);
Run
Handling a Result-based fallback

A somewhat common occurrence when dealing with optional values in combination with Result<T, E> is the case where one wants to invoke a fallible fallback if the option is not present. This example parses a command line argument (if present), or the contents of a file to an integer. However, unlike accessing the command line argument, reading the file is fallible, so it must be wrapped with Ok.

let v: u64 = std::env::args()
   .nth(1)
   .map_or_else(|| std::fs::read_to_string("/etc/someconfig.conf"), Ok)?
   .parse()?;
Run
source

pub fn ok_or<E>(self, err: E) -> Result<T, E>

Transforms the Option<T> into a Result<T, E>, mapping Some(v) to Ok(v) and None to Err(err).

Arguments passed to ok_or are eagerly evaluated; if you are passing the result of a function call, it is recommended to use ok_or_else, which is lazily evaluated.

Examples
let x = Some("foo");
assert_eq!(x.ok_or(0), Ok("foo"));

let x: Option<&str> = None;
assert_eq!(x.ok_or(0), Err(0));
Run
source

pub fn ok_or_else<E, F>(self, err: F) -> Result<T, E>where F: FnOnce() -> E,

Transforms the Option<T> into a Result<T, E>, mapping Some(v) to Ok(v) and None to Err(err()).

Examples
let x = Some("foo");
assert_eq!(x.ok_or_else(|| 0), Ok("foo"));

let x: Option<&str> = None;
assert_eq!(x.ok_or_else(|| 0), Err(0));

pub fn as_deref(&self) -> Option<&T::Target>where T: Deref,

Converts from Option<T> (or &Option<T>) to Option<&T::Target>.

Leaves the original Option in-place, creating a new one with a reference to the original one, additionally coercing the contents via Deref.

Examples
let x: Option<String> = Some("hey".to_owned());
assert_eq!(x.as_deref(), Some("hey"));

let x: Option<String> = None;
assert_eq!(x.as_deref(), None);
Run

pub fn as_deref_mut(&mut self) -> Option<&mut T::Target>where T: DerefMut,

Converts from Option<T> (or &mut Option<T>) to Option<&mut T::Target>.

Leaves the original Option in-place, creating a new one containing a mutable reference to the inner type’s Deref::Target type.

Examples
let mut x: Option<String> = Some("hey".to_owned());
assert_eq!(x.as_deref_mut().map(|x| {
    x.make_ascii_uppercase();
    x
}), Some("HEY".to_owned().as_mut_str()));

pub fn and<U>(self, optb: Option<U>) -> Option<U>

Returns None if the option is None, otherwise returns optb.

Arguments passed to and are eagerly evaluated; if you are passing the result of a function call, it is recommended to use and_then, which is lazily evaluated.

Examples
let x = Some(2);
let y: Option<&str> = None;
assert_eq!(x.and(y), None);

let x: Option<u32> = None;
let y = Some("foo");
assert_eq!(x.and(y), None);

let x = Some(2);
let y = Some("foo");
assert_eq!(x.and(y), Some("foo"));

Run
source

pub fn and_then<U, F>(self, f: F) -> Option<U>where F: FnOnce(T) -> Option<U>,

Returns None if the option is None, otherwise calls f with the wrapped value and returns the result.

Some languages call this operation flatmap.

Examples
fn sq_then_to_string(x: u32) -> Option<String> {
    x.checked_mul(x).map(|sq| sq.to_string())
}

assert_eq!(Some(2).and_then(sq_then_to_string), Some(4.to_string()));
assert_eq!(Some(1_000_000).and_then(sq_then_to_string), None); // overflowed!
assert_eq!(None.and_then(sq_then_to_string), None);

let item_0_1 = arr_2d.get(0).and_then(|row| row.get(1));
assert_eq!(item_0_1, Some(&"A1"));

pub fn filter<P>(self, predicate: P) -> Selfwhere P: FnOnce(&T) -> bool,

Returns None if the option is None, otherwise calls predicate with the wrapped value and returns:

  • Some(t) if predicate returns true (where t is the wrapped value), and
  • None if predicate returns false.

This function works similar to Iterator::filter(). You can imagine the Option<T> being an iterator over one or zero elements. filter() lets you decide which elements to keep.

Examples
fn is_even(n: &i32) -> bool {
    n % 2 == 0
}

assert_eq!(None.filter(is_even), None);
assert_eq!(Some(3).filter(is_even), None);

Examples
let x = Some(2);
let y = None;
assert_eq!(x.or(y), Some(2));

let x = None;
let y = Some(100);
assert_eq!(x.or(y), Some(100));

let x: Option<Option<Option<u32>>> = Some(Some(Some(6)));
assert_eq!(Some(Some(6)), x.flatten());
assert_eq!(Some(6), x.flatten().flatten());

impl<'a, T> From<&'a Option<T>> for Option<&'a T>

source§

fn from(o: &'a Option<T>) -> Option<&'a T>

Converts from &Option<T> to Option<&T>.

Examples

Converts an Option<String> into an Option<usize>, preserving the original. The map method takes the self argument by value, consuming the original, so this technique uses from to first take an Option to a reference to the value inside the original.

let s: Option<String> = Some(String::from("Hello, Rustaceans!"));
let o: Option<usize> = Option::from(&s).map(|ss: &String| ss.len());

println!("Can still print s: {s:?}");

assert_eq!(o, Some(18));

impl<A, V: FromIterator<A>> FromIterator<Option<A>> for Option<V>

source§

fn from_iter<I: IntoIterator<Item = Option<A>>>(iter: I) -> Option<V>

Takes each element in the Iterator: if it is None, no further elements are taken, and the None is returned. Should no None occur, a container of type V containing the values of each Option is returned.

Examples

Here is an example which increments every integer in a vector. We use the checked variant of add that returns None when the calculation would result in an overflow.

let items = vec![0_u16, 1, 2];

let res: Option<Vec<u16>> = items
    .iter()
    .map(|x| x.checked_add(1))
    .collect();

assert_eq!(res, Some(vec![1, 2, 3]));
Run

As you can see, this will return the expected, valid items.

Here is another example that tries to subtract one from another list of integers, this time checking for underflow:

let items = vec![2_u16, 1, 0];

let res: Option<Vec<u16>> = items
    .iter()
    .map(|x| x.checked_sub(1))
    .collect();

assert_eq!(res, None);
Run

Since the last element is zero, it would underflow. Thus, the resulting value is None.

Here is a variation on the previous example, showing that no further elements are taken from iter after the first None.

let items = vec![3_u16, 2, 1, 10];

let mut shared = 0;

let res: Option<Vec<u16>> = items
    .iter()
    .map(|x| { shared += x; x.checked_sub(2) })
    .collect();

assert_eq!(res, None);
assert_eq!(shared, 6);
Run

Since the third element caused an underflow, no further elements were taken, so the final value of shared is 6 (= 3 + 2 + 1), not 16.
