Expand description

A trait for defining the abstract schema type of a blob. This is similar to the InlineEncoding trait in the value module.

Provided Methods§

Source

fn blob_from<T: IntoBlob<Self>>(t: T) -> Blob<Self>

Converts a concrete Rust type to a blob with this schema via IntoBlob.

Source

fn to_encoded(blob: Blob<Self>) -> Encoded<Handle<Self>>
where Handle<Self>: InlineEncoding,

Lift a Blob<Self> into the Encoded sum entity!{} consumes — yields Encoded::Blob(blob.transmute()). The handle lives inside the blob; consumers recover it via Encoded::inline.

Overridable if a schema has unusual storage semantics. The inline-path counterpart lives on InlineEncoding::to_encoded.

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.
