How to use lib with strings?

[ShadowMitia]

Hello!

I want to use the lib in a bot, to try out, but it seems to be able to only use files/stdin. Is there an easy way to use strings with this lib?

Thanks in advance!

right now this isn't possible. ill need to publish the core uwuify function as a separate crate so you can include it in rust programs, but i might not get around to it

Fair enough^^ I'm using uwu_ify_sse from the crate for now, it's good enough for me right now^^

[Daniel-Liu-c0deb0t]

oh cool, yes that works too

just make sure you pass large buffers for the temp_bytes cuz in the worst case, it is possible for each of the 4 passes to approximately double the size of the input buffer. right now it will just panic if you pass it a buffer that is too small. see src/main.rs for an example of how uwu_ify_sse is called

Thanks for the tip! I didn't understand why you need two temp buffers. Would you mind clarifying that?

[Daniel-Liu-c0deb0t]

sure. each pass uses one of the temp buffers for input and the other for output. of course, you could make the bytes buffer mutable and overwrite it, but i thought it would be easier for the user to not have to worry about the bytes buffer has a certain size or alignment (eventually i didn't require a certain alignment for any of the buffers though) or having the stuff they pass in be modified. also, the temp buffers were supposed to be an implementation detail (ie, allocated in the uwu_ify_sse function, so you would only pass in a immutable bytes slice with no requirements on its size), but to reduce allocations i moved it out.

alright, just published a new release that should make this a lot easier to use

you can put uwuify = "^0.2" in your Cargo.toml to include uwuify as a library. take a look at the readme for instructions on how to use it. also there's docs at: https://docs.rs/uwuify/0.2.0/uwuifier/

Would you be comfortable exposing that kind of API ?

pub fn uwuify(input: &str) -> String;

[Daniel-Liu-c0deb0t]

sure, im working on it

Edit: done and published in version 0.2.1

Oh that example is great, thanks!
