A Decimal number implementation written in pure Rust suitable for financial calculations that require significant integral and fractional digits with no round-off errors.
The binary representation consists of a 96 bit integer number, a scaling factor used to specify the decimal fraction and a 1 bit sign. Because of this representation, trailing zeros are preserved and may be exposed when in string form. These can be truncated using the `normalize` or `round_dp` functions.
## Getting started
To get started, add `rust_decimal` and optionally `rust_decimal_macros` to your `Cargo.toml`:
```toml
[dependencies]
rust_decimal = "1.23"
rust_decimal_macros = "1.23"
```
## Usage
Decimal numbers can be created in a few distinct ways. The easiest and most efficient method of creating a Decimal is to use the procedural macro within the `rust_decimal_macros` crate:
```rust
// Procedural macros need importing directly
use rust_decimal_macros::dec;
let number = dec!(-1.23);
assert_eq!("-1.23", number.to_string());
```
Alternatively you can also use one of the Decimal number convenience functions:
```rust
// Using the prelude can help importing trait based functions (e.g. core::str::FromStr).
use rust_decimal::prelude::*;
// Using an integer followed by the decimal points
let scaled = Decimal::new(202, 2);
assert_eq!("2.02", scaled.to_string());
// From a string representation
let from_string = Decimal::from_str("2.02").unwrap();
assert_eq!("2.02", from_string.to_string());
// From a string representation in a different base
let from_string_base16 = Decimal::from_str_radix("ffff", 16).unwrap();
assert_eq!("65535", from_string_base16.to_string());
// Using the `Into` trait
let my_int: Decimal = 3i32.into();
assert_eq!("3", my_int.to_string());
// Using the raw decimal representation
let pi = Decimal::from_parts(1102470952, 185874565, 1703060790, false, 28);
assert_eq!("3.1415926535897932384626433832", pi.to_string());
```
Once you have instantiated your `Decimal` number you can perform calculations with it just like any other number:
```rust
use rust_decimal::prelude::*;
let amount = Decimal::from_str("25.12").unwrap();
let tax = Decimal::from_str("0.085").unwrap();
let total = amount + (amount * tax).round_dp(2);
assert_eq!(total.to_string(), "27.26");
```

### `borsh`
Enables [Borsh](https://borsh.io/) serialization for `Decimal`.
### `c-repr`
Forces `Decimal` to use `[repr(C)]`. The corresponding target layout is 128 bit aligned.
### `db-postgres`
Enables a PostgreSQL communication module. It allows for reading and writing the `Decimal`
type by transparently serializing/deserializing into the `NUMERIC` data type within PostgreSQL.
### `db-tokio-postgres`
Enables the tokio postgres module allowing for async communication with PostgreSQL.
### `db-diesel-postgres`
Enable `diesel` PostgreSQL support.
### `db-diesel-mysql`
Enable `diesel` MySQL support.
### `legacy-ops`
**Warning:** This is deprecated and will be removed from a future versions.
As of `1.10` the algorithms used to perform basic operations have changed which has benefits of significant speed improvements.
To maintain backwards compatibility this can be opted out of by enabling the `legacy-ops` feature.
### `maths`
The `maths` feature enables additional complex mathematical functions such as `pow`, `ln`, `enf`, `exp` etc.
Documentation detailing the additional functions can be found on the
[`MathematicalOps`](https://docs.rs/rust_decimal/latest/rust_decimal/trait.MathematicalOps.html) trait.
Please note that `ln` and `log10` will panic on invalid input with `checked_ln` and `checked_log10` the preferred functions
to curb against this. When the `maths` feature was first developed the library would return `0` on invalid input. To re-enable this
non-panicking behavior, please use the feature: `maths-nopanic`.
### `rocket-traits`
Enable support for Rocket forms by implementing the `FromFormField` trait.
### `rust-fuzz`
Enable `rust-fuzz` support by implementing the `Arbitrary` trait.
### `serde-float`
**Note:** it is recommended to use the `serde-with-*` features for greater control. This allows configurability at the data
level.
Enable this so that JSON serialization of `Decimal` types are sent as a float instead of a string (default).
e.g. with this turned on, JSON serialization would output:
```json
{
"value": 1.234
}
```
### `serde-str`
**Note:** it is recommended to use the `serde-with-*` features for greater control. This allows configurability at the data
level.
This is typically useful for `bincode` or `csv` like implementations.
Since `bincode` does not specify type information, we need to ensure that a type hint is provided in order to
correctly be able to deserialize. Enabling this feature on its own will force deserialization to use `deserialize_str`
instead of `deserialize_any`.
If, for some reason, you also have `serde-float` enabled then this will use `deserialize_f64` as a type hint. Because
converting to `f64` _loses_ precision, it's highly recommended that you do NOT enable this feature when working with
`bincode`. That being said, this will only use 8 bytes so is slightly more efficient in terms of storage size.
### `serde-arbitrary-precision`
**Note:** it is recommended to use the `serde-with-*` features for greater control. This allows configurability at the data
level.
This is used primarily with `serde_json` and consequently adds it as a "weak dependency". This supports the
`arbitrary_precision` feature inside `serde_json` when parsing decimals.
This is recommended when parsing "float" looking data as it will prevent data loss.
### `serde-with-float`
Enable this to access the module for serializing `Decimal` types to a float. This can be use in `struct` definitions like so:
```rust
#[derive(Serialize, Deserialize)]
pub struct FloatExample {
#[serde(with = "rust_decimal::serde::float")]
value: Decimal,
}
```
### `serde-with-str`
Enable this to access the module for serializing `Decimal` types to a `String`. This can be use in `struct` definitions like so:
```rust
#[derive(Serialize, Deserialize)]
pub struct StrExample {
#[serde(with = "rust_decimal::serde::str")]
value: Decimal,
}
```
### `serde-with-arbitrary-precision`
Enable this to access the module for serializing `Decimal` types to a `String`. This can be use in `struct` definitions like so:
```rust
#[derive(Serialize, Deserialize)]
pub struct ArbitraryExample {
#[serde(with = "rust_decimal::serde::arbitrary_precision")]
value: Decimal,
}
```
### `std`
Enable `std` library support. This is enabled by default, however in the future will be opt in. For now, to support `no_std`
libraries, this crate can be compiled with `--no-default-features`.
## Building
Please refer to the [Build document](BUILD.md) for more information on building and testing Rust Decimal.
## Minimum Rust Compiler Version
The current _minimum_ compiler version is [`1.54.0`](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/blob/master/RELEASES.md#version-1540-2021-07-29)
which was released on `2021-07-29`.
This library maintains support for rust compiler versions that are 4 minor versions away from the current stable rust compiler version.
For example, if the current stable compiler version is `1.50.0` then we will guarantee support up to and including `1.46.0`.
Of note, we will only update the minimum supported version if and when required.
