Expand description
A trait that converts from a type to a generic representation.
For the most part, you should be using the derivation that is available
through frunk_derive
to generate instances of this trait for your types.
§Laws
Any implementation of Generic
must satisfy the following two laws:
forall x : Self. x == Generic::from(Generic::into(x))
forall y : Repr. y == Generic::into(Generic::from(y))
That is, from
and into
should make up an isomorphism between
Self
and the representation type Repr
.
§Examples
use frunk::Generic;
#[derive(Generic)]
struct ApiPerson<'a> {
FirstName: &'a str,
LastName: &'a str,
Age: usize,
}
#[derive(Generic)]
struct DomainPerson<'a> {
first_name: &'a str,
last_name: &'a str,
age: usize,
}
let a_person = ApiPerson {
FirstName: "Joe",
LastName: "Blow",
Age: 30,
};
let d_person: DomainPerson = frunk::convert_from(a_person); // done
Required Associated Types§
Required Methods§
Provided Methods§
sourcefn convert_from<Src>(src: Src) -> Self
fn convert_from<Src>(src: Src) -> Self
Convert a value to another type provided that they have the same representation type.
sourcefn map_repr<Mapper>(self, mapper: Mapper) -> Self
fn map_repr<Mapper>(self, mapper: Mapper) -> Self
Maps the given value of type Self
by first transforming it to
the representation type Repr
, then applying a mapper
function
on Repr
and finally transforming it back to a value of type Self
.
Object Safety§
This trait is not object safe.
