An attribute macro for easily writing [extension trait pattern](https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/blob/master/text/0445-extension-trait-conventions.md).
[**Documentation**][docs-url]
## Usage
Add this to your `Cargo.toml`:
```toml
[dependencies]
easy-ext = "0.2"
```
The current easy-ext requires Rust 1.31 or later.
## Examples
```rust
use easy_ext::ext;
#[ext(ResultExt)]
impl<T, E> Result<T, E> {
pub fn err_into<U>(self) -> Result<T, U>
where
E: Into<U>,
{
self.map_err(Into::into)
}
}
```
Code like this will be generated:
```rust
pub trait ResultExt<T, E> {
fn err_into<U>(self) -> Result<T, U>
where
E: Into<U>;
}
impl<T, E> ResultExt<T, E> for Result<T, E> {
fn err_into<U>(self) -> Result<T, U>
where
E: Into<U>,
{
self.map_err(Into::into)
}
}
```
You can elide the trait name. Note that in this case, `#[ext]` assigns a random name, so you cannot import/export the generated trait.
```rust
use easy_ext::ext;
#[ext]
impl<T, E> Result<T, E> {
fn err_into<U>(self) -> Result<T, U>
where
E: Into<U>,
{
self.map_err(Into::into)
}
}
```
