[![](http://meritbadge.herokuapp.com/downcast)](https://crates.io/crates/downcast)

A trait (& utilities) for downcasting trait objects back to their original types.

## [link to API documentation](https://docs.rs/downcast)

## example usage

Add to your Cargo.toml:

```toml
[dependencies]
downcast = "0.7"
```

Add to your crate root:

```rust
#[macro_use]
extern crate downcast;
```

* [simple](examples/simple.rs) showcases the most simple usage of this library.
* [with_params](examples/with_params.rs)  showcases how to deal with traits who have type parameters. 
* [downcasted](examples/downcasted.rs) showcases how to use the `Downcasted` wrapper types.

## build features

* **std (default)** enables all functionality requiring the standard library (`Downcast::downcast()`).
* **nightly** enables all functionality requiring rust nightly (`Any::type_name()`, `Downcasted::try_from()`).

## contribution guidelines

Make sure to `cargo install rustfmt` and `cargo fmt` the codebase before creating any commits!
