# `entry_and_modify` | ||
|
||
The tracking issue for this feature is: [#44733] | ||
|
||
[#44733]: /~https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/44733 | ||
|
||
------------------------ | ||
|
||
This introduces a new method for the Entry API of maps | ||
(`std::collections::HashMap` and `std::collections::BTreeMap`), so that | ||
occupied entries can be modified before any potential inserts into the | ||
map. | ||
|
||
For example: | ||
|
||
```rust | ||
#![feature(entry_and_modify)] | ||
# fn main() { | ||
use std::collections::HashMap; | ||
|
||
struct Foo { | ||
new: bool, | ||
} | ||
|
||
let mut map: HashMap<&str, Foo> = HashMap::new(); | ||
|
||
map.entry("quux") | ||
.and_modify(|e| e.new = false) | ||
.or_insert(Foo { new: true }); | ||
# } | ||
``` | ||
|
||
This is not possible with the stable API alone since inserting a default | ||
_before_ modifying the `new` field would mean we would lose the default state: | ||
|
||
```rust | ||
# fn main() { | ||
use std::collections::HashMap; | ||
|
||
struct Foo { | ||
new: bool, | ||
} | ||
|
||
let mut map: HashMap<&str, Foo> = HashMap::new(); | ||
|
||
map.entry("quux").or_insert(Foo { new: true }).new = false; | ||
# } | ||
``` | ||
|
||
In the above code the `new` field will never be `true`, even though we only | ||
intended to update that field to `false` for previously extant entries. | ||
|
||
To achieve the same effect as `and_modify` we would have to manually match | ||
against the `Occupied` and `Vacant` variants of the `Entry` enum, which is | ||
a little less user-friendly, and much more verbose: | ||
|
||
```rust | ||
# fn main() { | ||
use std::collections::HashMap; | ||
use std::collections::hash_map::Entry; | ||
|
||
struct Foo { | ||
new: bool, | ||
} | ||
|
||
let mut map: HashMap<&str, Foo> = HashMap::new(); | ||
|
||
match map.entry("quux") { | ||
Entry::Occupied(entry) => { | ||
entry.into_mut().new = false; | ||
}, | ||
Entry::Vacant(entry) => { | ||
entry.insert(Foo { new: true }); | ||
}, | ||
}; | ||
# } | ||
