Crate derive_from_one

Expand description

Autogeneration of From impls for enums and structs.

Installation

Add to Cargo.toml:

derive-from-one = "0.1"

Usage

This macro generates From impls for enum constructors with a single field.

If you don’t want some impls to be generated, apply #[from(skip)] to this tag.

Also, the macro would automatically skip ambiguous types, i.e., when a type appears in multiple tags regardless of amount of fields.

Example:

use derive_from_one::FromOne;

#[derive(FromOne)]
enum Enum {
    A { a: u32 },           // GENERATES From impl
    B(bool),                // GENERATES From impl
    #[from(skip)]
    C(String),              // DOES NOT GENERATE From impl due to #[from(skip)] attribute
    D {                     // DOES NOT GENERATE From impl due to multiple fields
        foo: Vec<String>,
        bar: &'static str,
    },
    E(Vec<String>)          // DOES NOT GENERATE From impl due to Vec<String> appears in D tag
}

Generated code:

enum Enum {
    A { a: u32 },
    B(bool),
    C(String),
    D {
        foo: Vec<String>,
        bar: &'static str,
    },
    E(Vec<String>)
}

impl From<u32> for Enum {
    fn from(x: u32) -> Self {
        Self::A { a: x }
    }
}

impl From<bool> for Enum {
    fn from(x: bool) -> Self {
        Self::B(x)
    }
}

You can also apply this macro to structs with a single field.

use derive_from_one::FromOne;

#[derive(FromOne)]
struct StructOne(usize);

#[derive(FromOne)]
struct StructTwo { a: usize }
