Trait Functor 

pub trait Functor<'a, A> {
    type Target<T>;

    // Required method
    fn fmap<B, F>(self, f: F) -> Self::Target<B>
       where F: Fn(A) -> B + 'a;
}

A Functor lets you change the type parameter of a generic type.

A Functor defines a method fmap on a type F<_>: Functor which converts an F<A> to F<B> using a function Fn(A) -> B applied to the As inside it.

You can also use this just to modify the values inside your container value without changing their type, if the mapping function returns a value of the same type. This is called an “endofunctor.”

Required Associated Types

type Target<T>

Required Methods

fn fmap<B, F>(self, f: F) -> Self::Target<B>

where F: Fn(A) -> B + 'a,

Dyn Compatibility

This trait is not dyn compatible.

In older versions of Rust, dyn compatibility was called "object safety", so this trait is not object safe.
