Crate platform_num 

platform_num

Numeric traits for the Links Platform.

This crate provides a set of marker and conversion traits that abstract over Rust’s primitive integer types. They are used throughout the Links Platform ecosystem to write generic code that works with any integer type while preserving type safety.

Traits

Trait	Description
Number	Base numeric trait — any PrimInt + Default + Debug + AsPrimitive<usize> + ToPrimitive
SignedNumber	Extends Number with signed operations (Signed + FromPrimitive)
ToSigned	Converts an unsigned type to its signed counterpart (e.g. u32 → i32)
MaxValue	Provides a MAX associated constant for every primitive integer type
LinkReference	Composite trait for link identifiers — unsigned, hashable, displayable, thread-safe

Example

use platform_num::{LinkReference, MaxValue, Number, SignedNumber, ToSigned};

fn max_link<T: LinkReference>() -> T {
    T::MAX
}

assert_eq!(max_link::<u32>(), u32::MAX);

Traits

LinkReference

A composite trait for types that can be used as link identifiers.

MaxValue

Provides the maximum value for a numeric type as an associated constant.

Number

A base numeric trait combining PrimInt, Default, Debug, AsPrimitive<usize>, and ToPrimitive.

SignedNumber

A signed numeric trait extending Number with signed operations.

ToSigned

Converts a numeric type to its signed counterpart.
