== Why is this an issue?
|
||||
|
||||
Importing every public name from a module using a wildcard (``++use _::*++``) is a bad idea because:
|
||||
|
||||
* It could lead to conflicts between names defined locally and the ones imported.
|
||||
* It reduces code readability as developers will have a hard time knowing where names come from.
|
||||
* It clutters the local namespace, which makes debugging more difficult.
|
||||
|
||||
Remember that imported names can change when you update your dependencies. A wildcard import that works today might be broken tomorrow.
|
||||
|
||||
=== Exceptions
|
||||
|
||||
No issue will be raised for modules that their name contains ``++prelude ++``. Many crates, including the standard library, provide modules named ``++prelude ++`` that are specifically designed for wildcard import.
|
||||
|
||||
No issue will be raised in test modules. This is defined as any module with ``++test++`` in the name.
|
||||
|
||||
== How to fix it
|
||||
|
||||
There are two ways to avoid a wildcard import:
|
||||
|
||||
* Replace it with `use mymodule;` and access module members as `mymodule::myfunction`. If the module name is too long, alias it to a shorter name. Example: `use std::collections as col;`
|
||||
* List every imported name. If necessary, import statements can be split on multiple lines using parentheses (preferred solution) or backslashes.

=== Code examples
|
||||
|
||||
==== Noncompliant code example
|
||||
|
||||
[source,rust]
|
||||
----
|
||||
use std::collections::*; // Noncompliant
|
||||
fn main() {
|
||||
let mut map = HashMap::new();
|
||||
map.insert(1, 2);
|
||||
}
|
||||
----
|
||||
|
||||
==== Compliant solution
|
||||
|
||||
[source,rust]
|
||||
----
|
||||
use std::collections::HashMap;
|
||||
fn main() {
|
||||
let mut map = HashMap::new();
|
||||
map.insert(1, 2);
|
||||
}
|
||||
----
|
||||
Or
|
||||
|
||||
[source,rust]
|
||||
----
|
||||
use std::collections::HashMap as HM;
|
||||
fn main() {
|
||||
let mut map = HM::new();
|
||||
map.insert(1, 2);
|
||||
}
