Struct DataType 

pub struct DataType<'types> {
    pub meta: &'types MetaType,
    pub derive: ConfigValue<Vec<IdentPath>>,
    pub variant: DataTypeVariant<'types>,
    pub extra_attributes: Vec<TokenStream>,
}

Represents a fully evaluated and enriched type definition used for rendering.

A DataType wraps a MetaType and augments it with generator-evaluated context required by the rendering phase. This avoids duplicating logic in multiple renderers by providing a preprocessed, render-ready structure.

Each DataType includes both a reference to the original meta type and a DataTypeVariant which contains the specific generator output based on the kind of the underlying type.

Fields

meta: &'types MetaType

Underlying meta type this data type contains additional information for.

derive: ConfigValue<Vec<IdentPath>>

Defines traits to derive the type from.

variant: DataTypeVariant<'types>

The variant of the data type.

extra_attributes: Vec<TokenStream>

Additional attributes that will be added to the type.

Methods from Deref<Target = MetaType>

pub fn form(&self) -> FormChoiceType

Returns the form element of this type should have.

pub fn is_emptiable(&self, types: &MetaTypes) -> bool

Returns true if this type is emptiable, false otherwise.

Emptiable means that the type may not have any element.

pub fn is_mixed(&self, types: &MetaTypes) -> bool

Returns true if this type is mixed, false otherwise.

Mixed means, that the type also accepts text intermixed with it’s elements.

Methods from Deref<Target = MetaTypeVariant>

pub fn is_emptiable(&self, types: &MetaTypes) -> bool

Returns true if this type is emptiable, false otherwise.

Emptiable means that the type may not have any element, but a simple text value.

pub fn is_mixed(&self, types: &MetaTypes) -> bool

Returns true if this type is mixed, false otherwise.

Mixed means, that the type also accepts text intermixed with it’s elements.

Trait Implementations

impl<'types> Debug for DataType<'types>

fn fmt(&self, f: &mut Formatter<'_>) -> Result

Formats the value using the given formatter.

impl Deref for DataType<'_>

type Target = MetaType

The resulting type after dereferencing.

fn deref(&self) -> &Self::Target

Dereferences the value.
