Trait Castable 

pub trait Castable:
    IDLInterface
    + DomObject
    + Sized {
    // Provided methods
    fn is<T>(&self) -> bool
       where T: DerivedFrom<Self> { ... }
    fn upcast<T>(&self) -> &T
       where T: Castable,
             Self: DerivedFrom<T> { ... }
    fn downcast<T>(&self) -> Option<&T>
       where T: DerivedFrom<Self> { ... }
}

A trait to hold the cast functions of IDL interfaces that either derive or are derived from other interfaces.

Provided Methods

fn is<T>(&self) -> bool

where T: DerivedFrom<Self>,

Check whether a DOM object implements one of its deriving interfaces.

fn upcast<T>(&self) -> &T

where T: Castable, Self: DerivedFrom<T>,

Cast a DOM object upwards to one of the interfaces it derives from.

fn downcast<T>(&self) -> Option<&T>

where T: DerivedFrom<Self>,

Cast a DOM object downwards to one of the interfaces it might implement.

Dyn Compatibility

This trait is not dyn compatible.

In older versions of Rust, dyn compatibility was called "object safety".
