use crate::en::Encoder;

/// Trait governing how a type is encoded as bytes.
///
/// This is typically used automatically through the `#[musli(bytes)]` attribute
/// through the [`Encode` derive].
///
/// [`Encode` derive]: https://docs.rs/musli/latest/musli/_help/derives/
///
/// # Examples
///
/// ```
/// use musli::Encode;
///
/// #[derive(Encode)]
/// struct MyType {
///     #[musli(bytes)]
///     data: [u8; 128],
/// }
/// ```
///
/// Implementing manually:
///
/// ```
/// use musli::{Encode, Encoder};
/// use musli::en::EncodeBytes;
///
/// struct MyType {
///     data: [u8; 128],
/// }
///
/// impl<M> Encode<M> for MyType {
///     type Encode = Self;
///
///     #[inline]
///     fn encode<E>(&self, encoder: E) -> Result<(), E::Error>
///     where
///         E: Encoder,
///     {
///         self.data.encode_bytes(encoder)
///     }
///
///     #[inline]
///     fn as_encode(&self) -> &Self::Encode {
///         self
///     }
/// }
/// ```
