[][src]Function typescript_definitions::as_byte_string

pub fn as_byte_string<'a, S>(
    bytes: &'a [u8],
    serializer: S
) -> Result<S::Ok, S::Error> where
    S: Serializer

String serializer for u8 byte buffers.

Use #[serde(serialize_with="typescript_definitions::as_byte_string")] on a [u8] or Vec<u8> object to make the output type a string (instead of a number[]). The encoding is a simple \xdd format.

Or provide your own serializer: typescript-definitions only checks the final name "as_byte_string" of the path.

e.g.

use serde;
use typescript_definitions::{TypeScriptify, TypeScriptifyTrait};
 
#[derive(Serialize, TypeScriptify)]
struct S {
    #[serde(serialize_with="typescript_definitions::as_byte_string")]
    image : Vec<u8>,
    buffer: &'static [u8],
}
 
println!("{}", S::type_script_ify());

prints export type S = { image: string, buffer: number[] };.
