[][src]Derive Macro strum::EnumMessage

#[derive(EnumMessage)]
{
    // Attributes available to this derive:
    #[strum]
}

Add a verbose message to an enum variant.

Encode strings into the enum itself. The strum_macros::EmumMessage macro implements the strum::EnumMessage trait. EnumMessage looks for #[strum(message="...")] attributes on your variants. You can also provided a detailed_message="..." attribute to create a seperate more detailed message than the first.

// You need to bring the trait into scope to use it
use strum::EnumMessage;
use strum_macros;

#[derive(strum_macros::EnumMessage, Debug)]
#[allow(dead_code)]
enum Color {
    #[strum(message = "Red", detailed_message = "This is very red")]
    Red,
    #[strum(message = "Simply Green")]
    Green { range: usize },
    #[strum(serialize = "b", serialize = "blue")]
    Blue(usize),
}

// Generated code looks like more or less like this:
