Enum egg_mode::user::UserID

pub enum UserID {
    ID(u64),
    ScreenName(Cow<'static, str>),
}

Convenience enum to generalize between referring to an account by numeric ID or by screen name.

Many API calls ask for a user either by either screen name (e.g. rustlang) or by a numeric ID assigned to the account (e.g. 165262228). In egg-mode, these calls are abstracted around this enum, and can take any type that converts into it. This enum has From implementations for the following types:

• u64
• &u64 (convenient when used with iterators)
• &str
• &&str (convenient when used with iterators)
• &String (to counteract the fact that deref coercion doesn't work with generics)
• &UserID (convenient when used with iterators)

This way, when a function in egg-mode has a paremeter of type T: Into<UserID>, you can call it with any of these types, and it will be converted automatically. egg-mode will then use the proper parameter when performing the call to Twitter.

Variants

ID(u64)

Referring via the account's numeric ID.

ScreenName(Cow<'static, str>)

Referring via the account's screen name.
