Module frunk::generic

This module holds the machinery behind Generic.

It contains the Generic trait and some helper methods for using the Generic trait without having to use universal function call syntax.

Examples

#[macro_use] extern crate frunk;
#[macro_use] extern crate frunk_core;

#[derive(Generic)]
struct ApiPerson<'a> {
    FirstName: &'a str,
    LastName: &'a str,
    Age: usize,
}

#[derive(Generic)]
struct DomainPerson<'a> {
    first_name: &'a str,
    last_name: &'a str,
    age: usize,
}

let a_person = ApiPerson {
    FirstName: "Joe",
    LastName: "Blow",
    Age: 30,
};
let d_person: DomainPerson = frunk::convert_from(a_person); // done

Traits

Generic

A trait that converts from a type to a generic representation.

Functions

convert_from	Converts one type Src into another type Dst assuming they have the same representation type Repr.
from_generic	Given a generic representation Repr of a Dst, returns Dst.
into_generic	Given a value of type Src, returns its generic representation Repr.
map_inter	Maps a value of a given type Origin using a function on a type Inter which has the same representation type of Origin.
map_repr	Maps a value of a given type Origin using a function on the representation type Repr of Origin.
