structural-convert

Derive conversion traits when items are structurally similar.

Inspired by serde and struct-convert crates.

Features

• One to one mapping
• Inner fields type conversion using .into()

Features Wishlist

• Skipping fields
• Derive TryFrom
• Rename fields

Examples

Struct

#[derive(Debug, PartialEq)]
struct Rhs {
    z: i8,
    x: u32,
}

#[derive(Debug, PartialEq, StructuralConvert)]
#[convert(from = "Rhs")]
struct Lhs {
    z: i32,
    x: u32,
}

assert_eq!(Lhs { z: 1, x: 2 }, Rhs { z: 1, x: 2 }.into());
assert_eq!(Lhs { z: 1, x: 2 }, Rhs { z: 1, x: 2 }.into());

Generated code:

impl From<Rhs> for Lhs {
    fn from(value: Rhs) -> Self {
        match value {
            Rhs { z, x } => Lhs {
                z: z.into(),
                x: x.into(),
            },
        }
    }
}

Enum

    #[derive(Debug, PartialEq)]
    enum Rhs {
        A { z: i8, x: u32 },
    }

    #[derive(Debug, PartialEq, StructuralConvert)]
    #[convert(from = "Rhs")]
    enum Lhs {
        A { z: i32, x: u32 },
    }

    assert_eq!(Lhs::A { z: 1, x: 2 }, Rhs::A { z: 1, x: 2 }.into());

Generated code:

impl From<Rhs> for Lhs {
    fn from(value: Rhs) -> Self {
        match value {
            Rhs::A { z, x } => Lhs::A {
                z: z.into(),
                x: x.into(),
            },
        }
    }
}
