## Rustframe: *A lightweight dataframe helper for Rust*
Link to crates.io: [https://crates.io/crates/rustframe](https://crates.io/crates/rustframe)
Rustframe is a simple dataframe helper for simple math and data manipulation in Rust.
Link to Gitea Mirror: [https://gitea.nulltech.uk/Magnus167/rustframe](https://gitea.nulltech.uk/Magnus167/rustframe)
Rustframe keeps things simple, safe, and readable. It is handy for quick numeric experiments and small analytical tasks, but it is **not** meant to compete with powerhouse crates like `polars` or `ndarray`.
### What it offers
- **Math that reads like math** elementwise `+`, ``, `×`, `÷` on entire frames or scalars.
- **Broadcast & reduce** sum, product, any/all across rows or columns without boilerplate.
- **Boolean masks made simple** chain comparisons, combine with `&`/`|`, get a tidy `BoolMatrix` back.
- **Datecentric row index** businessday ranges and calendar slicing built in.
- **Pure safe Rust** 100% safe, zero `unsafe`.
### Heads up
- **Not memoryefficient (yet)** footprint needs work.
- **Feature set still small** expect missing pieces.
### On the horizon
- Optional GPU help (Vulkan or similar) for heavier workloads.
- Straightforward Python bindings using `pyo3`.

## Quick start
```rust
use chrono::NaiveDate;
use rustframe::{
frame::{Frame, RowIndex},
matrix::{BoolOps, Matrix, SeriesOps},
utils::{BDateFreq, BDatesList},
};
let n_periods = 4;
// Four business days starting 20240102
a let dates: Vec<NaiveDate> =
BDatesList::from_n_periods("2024-01-02", BDateFreq::Daily, n_periods)
.unwrap()
.list()
.unwrap();
let col_names = vec!["a".into(), "b".into()];
let ma = Matrix::from_cols(vec![
vec![1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0],
vec![5.0, 6.0, 7.0, 8.0],
]);
let mb = Matrix::from_cols(vec![
vec![4.0, 3.0, 2.0, 1.0],
vec![8.0, 7.0, 6.0, 5.0],
]);
let fa = Frame::new(ma, col_names.clone(), Some(RowIndex::Date(dates.clone())));
let fb = Frame::new(mb, col_names, Some(RowIndex::Date(dates)));
// Math that reads like math
let result = &fa * &fb; // elementwise multiply
let total = result.matrix().sum_vertical().iter().sum::<f64>();
assert_eq!(total, 184.0);
```
