[yew-devel] [PATCH yew-comp/yew-widget-toolkit v3 0/2] add helpers to get a record via a Selection from a Store

[Shannon Sterz]

a very common pattern is to use a `Store` combined with a `Selection`.
however, to get the record from a `Store` that has the same `Key` as is
selected by the `Selection` is a little cumbersome. it requires
dealing with several optional values. so many components implement a
helper for that. it usually looks like this:

```rust
fn get_selected_record(&self) -> Option<ApiToken> {
    self.selection
        .selected_key()
        .and_then(|key| self.store.read().lookup_record(&key).cloned())
}

let Some(record) = self.get_selected_record() else {
    return false;
}
```

to avoid duplicating this effort in every such component add new helper
methods to the `Store`. they each take a `Selection` and either return
an optional reference or an optional clone of the selected record.
turning the above into:

```rust
let Some(record) = self.store.selected_record(&self.selection) else {
    return false;
}
```

there are also helpers that are prefixed with `multi_` to help deal with
`Selection`s in multi-select mode by returning a vector of all selected
entries.

the second commit in this series is mostly for demonstrative purposes.
sending this as an rfc as i am not sure if the naming of these functions
is ideal or whether we want to add both helpers (instead of just one of
them).
