# Struct core::cell::LazyCell

source ·

    pub struct LazyCell<T, F = fn() -> T> { /* private fields */ }

🔬This is a nightly-only experimental API. (`lazy_cell` #109736)
Expand description

A value which is initialized on the first access.

For a thread-safe version of this struct, see `std::sync::LazyLock`.

## §Examples

    #![feature(lazy_cell)]

    use std::cell::LazyCell;

    let lazy: LazyCell<i32> = LazyCell::new(|| {
        println!("initializing");
        92
    });
    println!("ready");
    println!("{}", *lazy);
    println!("{}", *lazy);

    // Prints:
    //   ready
    //   initializing
    //   92
    //   92

## Implementations§

source§

### impl<T, F: FnOnce() -> T> LazyCell<T, F>

source

#### pub const fn new(f: F) -> LazyCell<T, F>

🔬This is a nightly-only experimental API. (`lazy_cell` #109736)

Creates a new lazy value with the given initializing function.

##### §Examples

    #![feature(lazy_cell)]

    use std::cell::LazyCell;

    let hello = "Hello, World!".to_string();

    let lazy = LazyCell::new(|| hello.to_uppercase());

    assert_eq!(&*lazy, "HELLO, WORLD!");

Run
source

#### pub fn into_inner(this: Self) -> Result<T, F>

🔬This is a nightly-only experimental API. (`lazy_cell_consume` #109736)

Consumes this `LazyCell` returning the stored value.

Returns `Ok(value)` if `Lazy` is initialized and `Err(f)` otherwise.

##### §Examples

    #![feature(lazy_cell)]
    #![feature(lazy_cell_consume)]

    use std::cell::LazyCell;

    let hello = "Hello, World!".to_string();

    let lazy = LazyCell::new(|| hello.to_uppercase());

    assert_eq!(&*lazy, "HELLO, WORLD!");
    assert_eq!(LazyCell::into_inner(lazy).ok(), Some("HELLO, WORLD!".to_string()));

Run
source

#### pub fn force(this: &LazyCell<T, F>) -> &T

🔬This is a nightly-only experimental API. (`lazy_cell` #109736)

Forces the evaluation of this lazy value and returns a reference to the result.

This is equivalent to the `Deref` impl, but is explicit.

##### §Examples

    #![feature(lazy_cell)]

    use std::cell::LazyCell;

    let lazy = LazyCell::new(|| 92);

    assert_eq!(LazyCell::force(&lazy), &92);
    assert_eq!(&*lazy, &92);
