Produce &[T] instead of Option<&[T]> for list fields #2995

Motivation and Context

When the returned field is a list, there is almost never a reason to know if the returned value was null or [] — this addresses the 99% case.

Before:

fn blah(&self) -> Option<&[T]> { self.blah.as_deref() }

After:

fn blah(&self) -> &[T] { self.blah.as_deref().unwrap_or_default() }

note: no impact on servers by default, see codegen diff.

Description

Update accessors for lists.

Testing

  • codegen diff audit (no server changes)
  • unit tests

Checklist

  • I have updated CHANGELOG.next.toml if I made changes to the smithy-rs codegen or runtime crates

nit: which namespace do the rest of the settings lie in? For example, we don't have a software.amazon.smithy.rust.codegen.core.smithy.generators.settings namespace?

Do we have a test someplace for StructSettings(false)?

actually no! let me add one, good catch. (Although all existing server tests are testing this)

Will this change allow someone on the server side to override how we generate accessor methods for collection types by setting "flattenCollectionAccessor" in smithy-build.json?

If the user cannot set this in the settings, then disregard the following:

Currently, on the server side that behavior is controlled by whether the field is marked as @required in the model.

This approach is fine for optional server inputs, where not sending a value for a collection (resulting in None) and sending an empty collection are treated the same by the business logic. However, there are scenarios where the server's output could make a meaningful distinction between an empty list and a None list. Additionally, using $memberName.is_none() on the client side to check whether the server sent an output will be unreliable if the server sends an empty list instead of None.

this is only the accessor method—it has absolutely no impact on serialization, it's just for convenience when reading the field.

Additionally, using $memberName.is_none() on the client side to check whether the server sent an output will be unreliable if the server sends an empty list instead of None.

The only reason to do that is explicitly if you are trying to tell the difference.

Oh yes! only the accessor gets changed. The underlying serialization format and the field remains the same.

If there is no chance for the user to set this flag on the server side then this is okay. Otherwise, I think let's set this to: StructSettings(flattenVecAccessors = false) for now.

Disregard. Only the accessor is getting changed so let's keep it the way you have it right now.

Keep it like it is. I wrongly thought that the underlying field is also going to get changed. Only the accessor gets changed, so this is good.
