Module frunk_core::generic

This module holds the machinery behind Generic.

It contains the Generic typeclass and some helper methods for using the Generic type class without having to use universal function call syntax.

Examples

#[derive(Generic)]
struct ApiPerson<'a> {
    FirstName: &'a str,
    LastName: &'a str,
    Age: usize,
}

#[derive(Generic)]
struct DomainPerson<'a> {
    first_name: &'a str,
    last_name: &'a str,
    age: usize,
}

let a_person = ApiPerson {
    FirstName: "Joe",
    LastName: "Blow",
    Age: 30,
};
let d_person: DomainPerson = convert_from(a_person); // done

from_generic	Given a generic Representation of an A, returns A
into_generic	Given an A, returns its generic Representation
