A library for to allow multiple return types by automatically generated enum.

This library provides the following attribute macros:

  • #[auto_enum]

    Parses syntax, creates the enum, inserts variants, and passes specified traits to #[enum_derive].

  • #[enum_derive]

    Implements specified traits to the enum.

Usage

Add this to your Cargo.toml:

[dependencies]
auto_enums = "0.5"

The current version of auto_enums requires Rust 1.31 or later.

Examples

#[auto_enum]'s basic feature is to wrap the value returned by the obvious branches (match, if, return, etc..) by an enum that implemented the specified traits.

use auto_enums::auto_enum;

#[auto_enum(Iterator)]
fn foo(x: i32) -> impl Iterator<Item = i32> {
    match x {
        0 => 1..10,
        _ => vec![5, 10].into_iter(),
    }
}

#[auto_enum] generates code in two stages.

First, #[auto_enum] will do the following.

  • parses syntax
  • creates the enum
  • inserts variants

Code like this will be generated:

fn foo(x: i32) -> impl Iterator<Item = i32> {
    #[::auto_enums::enum_derive(Iterator)]
    enum __Enum1<__T1, __T2> {
        __T1(__T1),
        __T2(__T2),
    }

    match x {
        0 => __Enum1::__T1(1..10),
        _ => __Enum1::__T2(vec![5, 10].into_iter()),
    }
}

Next, #[enum_derive] implements the specified traits.

Code like this will be generated

See API Documentation for more details.

Supported traits

#[enum_derive] implements the supported traits and passes unsupported traits to #[derive].

If you want to use traits that are not supported by #[enum_derive], you can use another crate that provides proc_macro_derive, or you can define proc_macro_derive yourself (derive_utils probably can help it).

Basic usage of #[enum_derive]

use auto_enums::enum_derive;

// `#[enum_derive]` implements `Iterator`, and `#[derive]` implements `Clone`.
#[enum_derive(Iterator, Clone)]
enum Foo<A, B> {
    A(A),
    B(B),
}

[std|core] libraries

Note that some traits have aliases.

[std|core]::ops

[std|core]::convert

[std|core]::iter

[std|core]::fmt

[std|core]::future

std::io

std::error

External libraries

You can add support for external library by activating the each crate feature.

futures(v0.3) (requires "futures" crate feature)

futures(v0.1) (requires "futures01" crate feature)

quote (requires "proc_macro" crate feature)

rayon (requires "rayon" crate feature)

serde (requires "serde" crate feature)
