812## Helper Functions
813
814Avoid creating singe-use helper functions:
815
816```rust
817// GOOD
818let buf = {
819 let mut buf = get_empty_buf(&mut arena);
820 buf.add_item(item);
821 buf
822};

832 res.add_item(item);
833 res
834}
835```
836
837Exception: if you want to make use of `return` or `?`.
838
839**Rationale:** single-use functions change frequently, adding or removing parameters adds churn.
840A block serves just as well to delineate a bit of logic, but has access to all the context.
841Re-using originally single-purpose function often leads to bad coupling.
842
843## Helper Variables
844
845Introduce helper variables freely, especially for multiline conditions:
846
847```rust
848// GOOD
849let rustfmt_not_installed =
850 captured_stderr.contains("not installed") || captured_stderr.contains("not available");
851
852match output.status.code() {
853 Some(1) if !rustfmt_not_installed => Ok(None),
854 _ => Err(format_err!("rustfmt failed:\n{}", captured_stderr)),
855};
856
857// BAD
858match output.status.code() {
859 Some(1)
860 if !captured_stderr.contains("not installed")
861 && !captured_stderr.contains("not available") => Ok(None),
862 _ => Err(format_err!("rustfmt failed:\n{}", captured_stderr)),
863};
864```
865
866**Rationale:** like blocks, single-use variables are a cognitively cheap abstraction, as they have access to all the context.
867Extra variables help during debugging, they make it easy to print/view important intermediate results.
868Giving a name to a condition in `if` expression often improves clarity and leads to a nicer formatted code.
