Crate scale_encode

scale-encode builds on parity-scale-codec. parity-scale-codec provides an Encode trait which allows types to SCALE encode themselves with no external information. scale-encode provides an EncodeAsType trait which allows types to decide how to encode themselves based on the desired target type.

Re-exports

• pub use error::Error;

Modules

• error
  An error that is emitted whenever some encoding fails.

Structs

• Composite
  This type represents named or unnamed composite values, and can be used to help generate EncodeAsType impls. It’s primarily used by the exported macros to do just that.
• PortableRegistry
  A read-only registry containing types in their portable form for serialization.

Traits

• EncodeAsFields
  This is similar to EncodeAsType, except that it’s can be implemented on types that can be encoded to bytes given a list of fields instead of a single type ID. This is generally implemented just for tuple and struct types, and is automatically implemented via the EncodeAsType macro.
• EncodeAsType
  This trait signals that some static type can possibly be SCALE encoded given some type_id and PortableRegistry which dictates the expected encoding. A [Context] is also passed around, which is used internally to improve error reporting. Implementations should use the [Context::at] method to indicate the current location if they would like it to show up in error output.

Type Definitions

• PortableField
  A description of a single field in a tuple or struct type.

Derive Macros

• EncodeAsType
  The EncodeAsType derive macro can be used to implement EncodeAsType on structs and enums whose fields all implement EncodeAsType.
