enum_primitive

This crate exports a macro enum_from_primitive! that wraps an enum declaration and automatically adds an implementation of num::FromPrimitive (reexported here), to allow conversion from primitive integers to the enum. It therefore provides an alternative to the built-in #[derive(FromPrimitive)], which requires the unstable std::num::FromPrimitive and is disabled in Rust 1.0.

The current implementation requires all variants of the enum to have an explicit discriminator value. This restriction may be relaxed in future versions.

Usage

Add the following to your Cargo.toml file:

[dependencies]
enum_primitive = "*"

Import the crate using #[macro_use] extern crate enum_primitive, and wrap your enum declaration inside the enum_from_primitive! macro.

Example

#[macro_use] extern crate enum_primitive;
extern crate num;
use num::FromPrimitive;

enum_from_primitive! {
#[derive(Debug, PartialEq)]
enum FooBar {
    Foo = 17,
    Bar = 42,
}
}

fn main() {
    assert_eq!(FooBar::from_i32(17), Some(FooBar::Foo));
    assert_eq!(FooBar::from_i32(42), Some(FooBar::Bar));
    assert_eq!(FooBar::from_i32(91), None);
}
