Expand description
Adds Serialize
implementation to structs to be serialized as a{sv}
type.
This macro serializes the deriving struct as a D-Bus dictionary type, where keys are strings and values are generic values. Such dictionary types are very commonly used with D-Bus and GVariant.
Examples
For structs it works just like serde’s Serialize
macros:
use zvariant::{SerializeDict, Type};
#[derive(SerializeDict, Type)]
#[zvariant(signature = "a{sv}")]
struct Struct {
field1: u16,
#[zvariant(rename = "another-name")]
field2: i64,
optional_field: Option<String>,
}
The serialized D-Bus version of Struct {42, 77, None}
will be {"field1": Value::U16(42), "another-name": Value::I64(77)}
.
