enum-extract

A deriving proc-macro that generates functions to the inner members of the enum.

This is a heavily modified fork of enum-as-inner. Some of the key differences are listed below:

1. as_[variant], into_[variant] and as_[variant]_mut methods return a Result that can contain a concrete error type EnumExtractError.
   • The error is returned when the actual variant does not match the expected variant, and it contains both the name of the expected variant and the name of the actual variant for troubleshooting purposes.
   • The error also implements Display with a message of expected {expected}, got {actual}, so that you have a place to start troubleshooting rather than calling unwrap on an Option, or repeatedly writing better error messages by hand.
2. Added extract_as_[variant], extract_into_[variant] and extract_as_[variant]_mut methods, which panic if the actual variant does not match the expected variant.
   • These are very useful in tests where panicking is acceptable, especially when combined with the better error messages supported by the EnumExtractError struct.
