\#\[derive(Future, Stream, Sink, AsyncRead, AsyncWrite, AsyncSeek, AsyncBufRead)\] for enums.
## Usage
Add this to your `Cargo.toml`:
```toml
[dependencies]
futures-enum = "0.1.16"
futures = "0.3"
```
## Examples
```rust
use std::future::Future;
use futures_enum::{Future, Stream, Sink, AsyncRead, AsyncWrite, AsyncSeek, AsyncBufRead};
#[derive(Future, Stream, Sink, AsyncRead, AsyncWrite, AsyncSeek, AsyncBufRead)]
enum Either<A, B> {
A(A),
B(B),
}
fn foo(x: i32) -> impl Future<Output = i32> {
if x < 0 {
Either::A(async { 1 })
} else {
Either::B(async move { x })
}
}
```
futures-enum works well even if the dependency contains only sub-crates such
as `futures-core`, `futures-io`, `futures-sink`, etc.
See [auto_enums] crate for how to automate patterns like this.
