/// Trait implemented by [`Route`](crate::Route) request handlers.
///
/// In general, you will never need to implement `Handler` manually or be
/// concerned about the `Handler` trait; Rocket's code generation handles
/// everything for you. You only need to learn about this trait if you want to
/// provide an external, library-based mechanism to handle requests where
/// request handling depends on input from the user. In other words, if you want
/// to write a plugin for Rocket that looks mostly like a static route but need
/// user provided state to make a request handling decision, you should consider
/// implementing a custom `Handler`.
///
/// ## Async Trait
///
/// This is an _async_ trait. Implementations must be decorated
/// [`#[rocket::async_trait]`](crate::async_trait).
///
/// # Example
///
/// Say you'd like to write a handler that changes its functionality based on an
/// enum value that the user provides:
///
/// ```rust
/// #[derive(Copy, Clone)]
/// enum Kind {
///     Simple,
///     Intermediate,
///     Complex,
/// }
/// ```
///
/// Such a handler might be written and used as follows:
///
/// ```rust,no_run
/// # extern crate rocket_community as rocket;
/// # #[derive(Copy, Clone)] enum Kind { Simple, Intermediate, Complex, }
/// use rocket::{Request, Data};
/// use rocket::route::{Handler, Route, Outcome};
/// use rocket::http::Method;
///
/// #[derive(Clone)]
/// struct CustomHandler(Kind);
///
/// #[rocket::async_trait]
/// impl Handler for CustomHandler {
///     async fn handle<'r>(&self, req: &'r Request<'_>, data: Data<'r>) -> Outcome<'r> {
///         match self.0 {
///             Kind::Simple => Outcome::from(req, "simple"),
///             Kind::Intermediate => Outcome::from(req, "intermediate"),
///             Kind::Complex => Outcome::from(req, "complex"),
///         }
///     }
/// }
///
/// impl Into<Vec<Route>> for CustomHandler {
///     fn into(self) -> Vec<Route> {
///         vec![Route::new(Method::Get, "/", self)]
///     }
/// }
///
/// #[rocket::launch]
/// fn rocket() -> _ {
///     rocket::build().mount("/", CustomHandler(Kind::Simple))
/// }
/// ```
///
/// Note the following:
///
///   1. `CustomHandler` implements `Clone`. This is required so that
///      `CustomHandler` implements `Cloneable` automatically. The `Cloneable`
///      trait serves no other purpose but to ensure that every `Handler` can be
///      cloned, allowing `Route`s to be cloned.
///   2. `CustomHandler` implements `Into<Vec<Route>>`, allowing an instance to
///      be used directly as the second parameter to `rocket.mount()`.
///   3. Unlike static-function-based handlers, this custom handler can make use
///      of any internal state.
///
/// # Alternatives
///
/// The previous example could have been implemented using a combination of
/// managed state and a static route, as follows:
///
/// ```rust,no_run
/// # #[macro_use] extern crate rocket_community as rocket;
/// #
/// # #[derive(Copy, Clone)]
/// # enum Kind {
/// #     Simple,
/// #     Intermediate,
/// #     Complex,
/// # }
/// #
/// use rocket::State;
///
/// #[get("/")]
/// fn custom_handler(state: &State<Kind>) -> &'static str {
///     match state.inner() {
///         Kind::Simple => "simple",
///         Kind::Intermediate => "intermediate",
///         Kind::Complex => "complex",
///     }
/// }
///
/// #[launch]
/// fn rocket() -> _ {
///     rocket::build()
///         .mount("/", routes![custom_handler])
///         .manage(Kind::Simple)
/// }
/// ```
///
/// Pros:
///
///   * The handler is easier to implement since Rocket's code generation
///     ensures type-safety at all levels.
///
/// Cons:
///
///   * Only one `Kind` can be stored in managed state. As such, only one
///     variant of the custom handler can be used.
///   * The user must remember to manually call `rocket.manage(state)`.
///
/// Use this alternative when a single configuration is desired and your custom
/// handler is private to your application. For all other cases, a custom
/// `Handler` implementation is preferred.
