#[derive(Plural)] for creating frictionless new types with a Vec, HashMap, etc.

Features

  • Automatically implements From, Into, FromIterator, IntoIterator, Deref, and DerefMut.
  • Supports Vec and HashMap (adding other collections to here is very easy).

Example

// This implements `From`, `Into`, `FromIterator`, `IntoIterator`, `Deref`, and `DerefMut`.
#[derive(Plural)]
struct Numbers(Vec<u32>);

// use `From` trait
let mut my_favorite_numbers: Numbers = vec![].into();

// use inner APIs with `DerefMut` trait.
my_favorite_numbers.push(42);

// `FromIterator` allows this `collect()`
let doubled_numbers: Numbers = my_favorite_numbers.iter().map(|x| x * 2).collect();

// `HashMap` is also supported
#[derive(Plural)]
struct FavoriteNumbers(HashMap<&'static str, Numbers>);

// construct the struct with using `FromIterator`
let favorite_numbers =
    FavoriteNumbers::from_iter([("ryo33", my_favorite_numbers), ("someone", doubled_numbers)]);

// use it in a `for` loop (`IntoIterator` trait)
for (name, numbers) in favorite_numbers {
    // use Deref trait
    println!("{} has {} favorite number(s)", name, numbers.len());
}
