Enum Key 

pub enum Key {
    Bool(bool),
    Number(f64),
    Str(Vec<u8>),
    Table(Table),
    Function(Func),
    Global(Global),
}

A table key. Only hashable Lua values can be keys.

Numbers, booleans, and strings hash by value. Tables and functions hash by identity, matching Lua reference semantics.

Equality follows the same split. Scalar keys compare by value, reference keys by identity. Key::same is the same relation expressed as a method.

Variants

Bool(bool)

Boolean key.

Number(f64)

Numeric key.

Str(Vec<u8>)

String key.

Table(Table)

Table key, tracked by identity.

Function(Func)

Function key, tracked by identity.

Global(Global)

Global-named key such as io.stdin.

Implementations

impl Key

pub fn same(&self, other: &Key) -> bool

Identity or value equality used to dedupe keys within one table.

Equivalent to self == other. Kept as a named method for call sites that read better with it.

pub fn to_value(&self) -> Value

Convert this key back to a value for serialization.

Trait Implementations

impl Clone for Key

fn clone(&self) -> Key

Returns a duplicate of the value.

fn clone_from(&mut self, source: &Self)

Performs copy-assignment from source.

impl Debug for Key

fn fmt(&self, f: &mut Formatter<'_>) -> Result

Formats the value using the given formatter.

impl PartialEq for Key

fn eq(&self, other: &Key) -> bool

Tests for self and other values to be equal, and is used by ==.

fn ne(&self, other: &Rhs) -> bool

Tests for !=. The default implementation is almost always sufficient, and should not be overridden without very good reason.
