Macro serde_aux::serde_aux_enum_number_declare

macro_rules! serde_aux_enum_number_declare {
    ($name:ident { $($variant:ident = $value:expr, )* }) => { ... };
}

This contains both serialization and ser/deserialization of a enum into and from numbers. The reference implementation does not work if your enum has negative values. This enum_number handles this also.

Example

#[macro_use]
extern crate serde_derive;
#[macro_use]
extern crate serde_aux;
extern crate serde_json;
extern crate serde;

serde_aux_enum_number_declare!(TestEnum {
    Up = 1,
    None = 0,
    Down = -1,
});

fn main() {
    let s = r#"1"#;
    let a: TestEnum = serde_json::from_str(s).unwrap();
    assert_eq!(a, TestEnum::Up);

    let s = r#"0"#;
    let a: TestEnum = serde_json::from_str(s).unwrap();
    assert_eq!(a, TestEnum::None);

    let s = r#"-1"#;
    let a: TestEnum = serde_json::from_str(s).unwrap();
    assert_eq!(a, TestEnum::Down);

    let s = r#"5"#;
    assert!(serde_json::from_str::<TestEnum>(s).is_err());
}
