Crate educe

Expand description

§Educe

This crate offers procedural macros designed to facilitate the swift implementation of Rust’s built-in traits.

§Features

By default, every trait this crate supports will be enabled. You can disable all of them by turning off the default features and enable only the traits that you want to use by adding them to the features explicitly.

For example,

[dependencies.educe]
version = "*"
features = ["Debug", "Clone", "Copy", "Hash", "Default"]
default-features = false

§Traits

§Debug

Use #[derive(Educe)] and #[educe(Debug)] to implement the Debug trait for a struct, enum, or union. This allows you to modify the names of your types, variants, and fields. You can also choose to ignore specific fields or set a method to replace the Debug trait. Additionally, you have the option to format a struct as a tuple and vice versa.

§Basic Usage

use educe::Educe;

#[derive(Educe)]
#[educe(Debug)]
struct Struct {
    f1: u8
}

#[derive(Educe)]
#[educe(Debug)]
enum Enum {
    V1,
    V2 {
        f1: u8,
    },
    V3(u8),
}

§Change the Name of a Type, a Variant or a Field

The name parameter can rename a type, a variant or a field. If you set it to false, the name can be ignored or forced to show otherwise.

use educe::Educe;

#[derive(Educe)]
#[educe(Debug(name(Struct2)))]
struct Struct {
    #[educe(Debug(name(f)))]
    f1: u8
}

#[derive(Educe)]
#[educe(Debug(name = true))]
enum Enum {
    #[educe(Debug(name = false))]
    V1,
    #[educe(Debug(name(V)))]
    V2 {
        #[educe(Debug(name(f)))]
        f1: u8,
    },
    #[educe(Debug(name = false))]
    V3(u8),
}

§Ignore Fields

The ignore parameter can ignore a specific field.

use educe::Educe;

#[derive(Educe)]
#[educe(Debug)]
struct Struct {
    #[educe(Debug(ignore))]
    f1: u8
}

#[derive(Educe)]
#[educe(Debug)]
enum Enum {
    V1,
    V2 {
        #[educe(Debug(ignore))]
        f1: u8,
    },
    V3(
        #[educe(Debug(ignore))]
        u8
    ),
}

§Fake Structs and Tuples

With the named_field parameter, structs can be formatted as tuples and tuples can be formatted as structs.

use educe::Educe;

#[derive(Educe)]
#[educe(Debug(named_field = false))]
struct Struct {
    f1: u8
}

#[derive(Educe)]
#[educe(Debug)]
enum Enum {
    V1,
    #[educe(Debug(named_field = false))]
    V2 {
        f1: u8,
    },
    #[educe(Debug(named_field = true))]
    V3(
        u8,
        #[educe(Debug(name(value)))]
        i32
    ),
}

§Use Another Method to Handle the Formatting

The method parameter can be utilized to replace the implementation of the Debug trait for a field, eliminating the need to implement the Debug trait for the type of that field.

use educe::Educe;

use std::fmt::{self, Formatter};

fn fmt<T>(_s: &T, f: &mut Formatter<'_>) -> fmt::Result {
    f.write_str("Hi")
}

#[derive(Educe)]
#[educe(Debug)]
enum Enum<T> {
    V1,
    V2 {
        #[educe(Debug(method(fmt)))]
        f1: u8,
    },
    V3(
        #[educe(Debug(method(std::fmt::UpperHex::fmt)))]
        u8,
        #[educe(Debug(method(fmt)))]
        T
    ),
}

§Generic Parameters Bound to the `Debug` Trait or Others

Generic parameters will be automatically bound to the Debug trait if necessary.

use educe::Educe;

#[derive(Educe)]
#[educe(Debug)]
enum Enum<T, K> {
    V1,
    V2 {
        f1: K,
    },
    V3(
        T
    ),
}

Or you can set the where predicates by yourself.

use educe::Educe;

use std::fmt::{self, Formatter};

fn fmt<D>(_s: &D, f: &mut Formatter<'_>) -> fmt::Result {
    f.write_str("Hi")
}

#[derive(Educe)]
#[educe(Debug(bound(T: std::fmt::Debug)))]
enum Enum<T, K> {
    V1,
    V2 {
        #[educe(Debug(method(fmt)))]
        f1: K,
    },
    V3(
        T
    ),
}

In the above case, T is bound to the Debug trait, but K is not.

§Union

A union will be formatted as a u8 slice because we don’t know its fields at runtime. The fields of a union cannot be ignored, renamed, or formatted with other methods. The implementation is unsafe because it may expose uninitialized memory.

use educe::Educe;

#[derive(Educe)]
#[educe(Debug(unsafe))]
union Union {
    f1: u8,
    f2: i32,
}

§Clone

Use #[derive(Educe)] and #[educe(Clone)] to implement the Clone trait for a struct, an enum, or a union. You can set a method to replace the Clone trait.

§Basic Usage

use educe::Educe;

#[derive(Educe)]
#[educe(Clone)]
struct Struct {
    f1: u8
}

#[derive(Educe)]
#[educe(Clone)]
enum Enum {
    V1,
    V2 {
        f1: u8,
    },
    V3(u8),
}

§Use Another Method to Perform Cloning

The method parameter can be utilized to replace the implementation of the Clone trait for a field, eliminating the need to implement the Clone trait for the type of that field.

use educe::Educe;

fn clone(v: &u8) -> u8 {
    v + 100
}

trait A {
    fn add(&self, rhs: u8) -> Self;
}

fn clone2<T: A>(v: &T) -> T {
    v.add(100)
}

#[derive(Educe)]
#[educe(Clone)]
enum Enum<T: A> {
    V1,
    V2 {
        #[educe(Clone(method(clone)))]
        f1: u8,
    },
    V3(
        #[educe(Clone(method(clone2)))]
        T
    ),
}

§Generic Parameters Bound to the `Clone` Trait or Others

Generic parameters will be automatically bound to the Clone trait if necessary. If the #[educe(Copy)] attribute exists, they will be bound to the Copy trait.

use educe::Educe;

#[derive(Educe)]
#[educe(Clone)]
enum Enum<T, K> {
    V1,
    V2 {
        f1: K,
    },
    V3(
        T
    ),
}

Or you can set the where predicates by yourself.

use educe::Educe;

trait A {
    fn add(&self, rhs: u8) -> Self;
}

fn clone<T: A>(v: &T) -> T {
    v.add(100)
}

#[derive(Educe)]
#[educe(Clone(bound(T: std::clone::Clone)))]
enum Enum<T, K: A> {
    V1,
    V2 {
        #[educe(Clone(method(clone)))]
        f1: K,
    },
    V3(
        T
    ),
}

In the above case, T is bound to the Clone trait, but K is not.

§Union

Refer to the introduction of the #[educe(Copy)] attribute.

§Copy

Use #[derive(Educe)] and #[educe(Copy)] to implement the Copy trait for a struct, an enum, or a union.

§Basic Usage

use educe::Educe;

#[derive(Educe)]
#[educe(Copy, Clone)]
struct Struct {
    f1: u8
}

#[derive(Educe)]
#[educe(Copy, Clone)]
enum Enum {
    V1,
    V2 {
        f1: u8,
    },
    V3(u8),
}

§Generic Parameters Bound to the `Copy` Trait or Others

All generic parameters will be automatically bound to the Copy trait.

use educe::Educe;

#[derive(Educe)]
#[educe(Copy, Clone)]
enum Enum<T, K> {
    V1,
    V2 {
        f1: K,
    },
    V3(
        T
    ),
}

Or you can set the where predicates by yourself.

use educe::Educe;

trait A {
    fn add(&self, rhs: u8) -> Self;
}

fn clone<T: A>(v: &T) -> T {
    v.add(100)
}

#[derive(Educe)]
#[educe(Copy, Clone(bound(T: Copy, K: A + Copy)))]
enum Enum<T, K> {
    V1,
    V2 {
        #[educe(Clone(method(clone)))]
        f1: K,
    },
    V3(
        T
    ),
}

Note that utilizing custom cloning methods for a type that implements the Copy and Clone traits may not be entirely appropriate.

§Union

The #[educe(Copy, Clone)] attribute can be used for a union. The fields of a union cannot be cloned with other methods.

use educe::Educe;

#[derive(Educe)]
#[educe(Copy, Clone)]
union Union {
    f1: u8,
}

§PartialEq

Use #[derive(Educe)] and #[educe(PartialEq)] to implement the PartialEq trait for a struct, enum, or union. You can also choose to ignore specific fields or set a method to replace the PartialEq trait.

§Basic Usage

use educe::Educe;

#[derive(Educe)]
#[educe(PartialEq)]
struct Struct {
    f1: u8
}

#[derive(Educe)]
#[educe(PartialEq)]
enum Enum {
    V1,
    V2 {
        f1: u8,
    },
    V3(u8),
}

§Ignore Fields

The ignore parameter can ignore a specific field.

use educe::Educe;

#[derive(Educe)]
#[educe(PartialEq)]
struct Struct {
    #[educe(PartialEq(ignore))]
    f1: u8
}

#[derive(Educe)]
#[educe(PartialEq)]
enum Enum {
    V1,
    V2 {
        #[educe(PartialEq(ignore))]
        f1: u8,
    },
    V3(
        #[educe(PartialEq(ignore))]
        u8
    ),
}

§Use Another Method to Perform Comparison

The method parameter can be utilized to replace the implementation of the PartialEq trait for a field, eliminating the need to implement the PartialEq trait for the type of that field.

use educe::Educe;

fn eq(a: &u8, b: &u8) -> bool {
    a + 1 == *b
}

trait A {
    fn is_same(&self, other: &Self) -> bool;
}

fn eq2<T: A>(a: &T, b: &T) -> bool {
    a.is_same(b)
}

#[derive(Educe)]
#[educe(PartialEq)]
enum Enum<T: A> {
    V1,
    V2 {
        #[educe(PartialEq(method(eq)))]
        f1: u8,
    },
    V3(
        #[educe(PartialEq(method(eq2)))]
        T
    ),
}

§Generic Parameters Bound to the `PartialEq` Trait or Others

Generic parameters will be automatically bound to the PartialEq trait if necessary.

use educe::Educe;

#[derive(Educe)]
#[educe(PartialEq)]
enum Enum<T, K> {
    V1,
    V2 {
        f1: K,
    },
    V3(
        T
    ),
}

Or you can set the where predicates by yourself.

use educe::Educe;

trait A {
    fn is_same(&self, other: &Self) -> bool;
}

fn eq<T: A>(a: &T, b: &T) -> bool {
    a.is_same(b)
}

#[derive(Educe)]
#[educe(PartialEq(bound(T: std::cmp::PartialEq, K: A)))]
enum Enum<T, K> {
    V1,
    V2 {
        #[educe(PartialEq(method(eq)))]
        f1: K,
    },
    V3(
        T
    ),
}

§Union

The #[educe(PartialEq(unsafe))] attribute can be used for a union. The fields of a union cannot be compared with other methods. The implementation is unsafe because it disregards the specific fields it utilizes.

use educe::Educe;

#[derive(Educe)]
#[educe(PartialEq(unsafe))]
union Union {
    f1: u8,
    f2: i32
}

§Eq

Use #[derive(Educe)] and #[educe(Eq)] to implement the Eq trait for a struct, enum, or union. You can also choose to ignore specific fields or set a method to replace the PartialEq trait.

§Basic Usage

use educe::Educe;

#[derive(Educe)]
#[educe(PartialEq, Eq)]
struct Struct {
    f1: u8
}

#[derive(Educe)]
#[educe(PartialEq, Eq)]
enum Enum {
    V1,
    V2 {
        f1: u8,
    },
    V3(u8),
}

§Ignore Fields

The ignore parameter can ignore a specific field.

use educe::Educe;

#[derive(Educe)]
#[educe(PartialEq, Eq)]
struct Struct {
    #[educe(Eq(ignore))]
    f1: u8
}

#[derive(Educe)]
#[educe(PartialEq, Eq)]
enum Enum {
    V1,
    V2 {
        #[educe(Eq(ignore))]
        f1: u8,
    },
    V3(
        #[educe(Eq(ignore))]
        u8
    ),
}

§Use Another Method to Perform Comparison

The method parameter can be utilized to replace the implementation of the Eq trait for a field, eliminating the need to implement the PartialEq trait for the type of that field.

use educe::Educe;

fn eq(a: &u8, b: &u8) -> bool {
    a + 1 == *b
}

trait A {
    fn is_same(&self, other: &Self) -> bool;
}

fn eq2<T: A>(a: &T, b: &T) -> bool {
    a.is_same(b)
}

#[derive(Educe)]
#[educe(PartialEq, Eq)]
enum Enum<T: A> {
    V1,
    V2 {
        #[educe(Eq(method(eq)))]
        f1: u8,
    },
    V3(
        #[educe(Eq(method(eq2)))]
        T
    ),
}

§Generic Parameters Bound to the `PartialEq` Trait or Others

Generic parameters will be automatically bound to the PartialEq trait if necessary.

use educe::Educe;

#[derive(Educe)]
#[educe(PartialEq, Eq)]
enum Enum<T, K> {
    V1,
    V2 {
        f1: K,
    },
    V3(
        T
    ),
}

Or you can set the where predicates by yourself.

use educe::Educe;

trait A {
    fn is_same(&self, other: &Self) -> bool;
}

fn eq<T: A>(a: &T, b: &T) -> bool {
    a.is_same(b)
}

#[derive(Educe)]
#[educe(PartialEq(bound(T: std::cmp::PartialEq, K: A)), Eq)]
enum Enum<T, K> {
    V1,
    V2 {
        #[educe(Eq(method(eq)))]
        f1: K,
    },
    V3(
        T
    ),
}

§Union

The #[educe(PartialEq(unsafe), Eq)] attribute can be used for a union. The fields of a union cannot be compared with other methods. The implementation is unsafe because it disregards the specific fields it utilizes.

use educe::Educe;

#[derive(Educe)]
#[educe(PartialEq(unsafe), Eq)]
union Union {
    f1: u8,
    f2: i32
}

§PartialOrd

Use #[derive(Educe)] and #[educe(PartialOrd)] to implement the PartialOrd trait for a struct or enum. You can also choose to ignore specific fields or set a method to replace the PartialOrd trait.

§Basic Usage

use educe::Educe;

#[derive(PartialEq, Educe)]
#[educe(PartialOrd)]
struct Struct {
    f1: u8
}

#[derive(PartialEq, Educe)]
#[educe(PartialOrd)]
enum Enum {
    V1,
    V2 {
        f1: u8,
    },
    V3(u8),
}

§Ignore Fields

The ignore parameter can ignore a specific field.

use educe::Educe;

#[derive(PartialEq, Educe)]
#[educe(PartialOrd)]
struct Struct {
    #[educe(PartialOrd(ignore))]
    f1: u8
}

#[derive(PartialEq, Educe)]
#[educe(PartialOrd)]
enum Enum {
    V1,
    V2 {
        #[educe(PartialOrd(ignore))]
        f1: u8,
    },
    V3(
        #[educe(PartialOrd(ignore))]
        u8
    ),
}

§Use Another Method to Perform Comparison

The method parameter can be utilized to replace the implementation of the PartialOrd trait for a field, eliminating the need to implement the PartialOrd trait for the type of that field.

use educe::Educe;

use std::cmp::Ordering;

fn partial_cmp(a: &u8, b: &u8) -> Option<Ordering> {
    if a > b {
        Some(Ordering::Less)
    } else if a < b {
        Some(Ordering::Greater)
    } else {
        Some(Ordering::Equal)
    }
}

trait A {
    fn value(&self) -> u8;
}

fn partial_cmp2<T: A>(a: &T, b: &T) -> Option<Ordering> {
    partial_cmp(&a.value(), &b.value())
}

#[derive(Educe)]
#[educe(PartialEq, PartialOrd)]
enum Enum<T: A> {
    V1,
    V2 {
        #[educe(PartialOrd(method(partial_cmp)))]
        f1: u8,
    },
    V3(
        #[educe(PartialOrd(method(partial_cmp2)))]
        T
    ),
}

§Ranking

Each field can add a #[educe(PartialOrd(rank = priority_value))] attribute, where priority_value is an integer value indicating its comparison precedence (lower values indicate higher priority). The default priority_value for a field depends on its ordinal position (lower towards the front) and starts with isize::MIN.

use educe::Educe;

#[derive(PartialEq, Educe)]
#[educe(PartialOrd)]
struct Struct {
    #[educe(PartialOrd(rank = 1))]
    f1: u8,
    #[educe(PartialOrd(rank = 0))]
    f2: u8,
}

For variants, the discriminant can be explicitly set for comparison.

use educe::Educe;

#[derive(PartialEq, Educe)]
#[educe(PartialOrd)]
#[repr(u8)]
enum Enum {
    Three { f1: u8 } = 3,
    Two(u8) = 2,
    One = 1,
}

§Generic Parameters Bound to the `PartialOrd` Trait or Others

Generic parameters will be automatically bound to the PartialOrd trait if necessary.

use educe::Educe;

#[derive(PartialEq, Educe)]
#[educe(PartialOrd)]
enum Enum<T, K> {
    V1,
    V2 {
        f1: K,
    },
    V3(
        T
    ),
}

Or you can set the where predicates by yourself.

use educe::Educe;

use std::cmp::Ordering;

trait A {
    fn value(&self) -> u8;
}

fn partial_cmp<T: A>(a: &T, b: &T) -> Option<Ordering> {
    a.value().partial_cmp(&b.value())
}

#[derive(PartialEq, Educe)]
#[educe(PartialOrd(bound(T: std::cmp::PartialOrd, K: std::cmp::PartialOrd + A)))]
enum Enum<T, K> {
    V1,
    V2 {
        #[educe(PartialOrd(method(partial_cmp)))]
        f1: K,
    },
    V3(
        T
    ),
}

struct Struct {
    f1: u8
}

#[derive(PartialEq, Eq, Educe)]

    V1,
    V2 {
        f1: u8,
    },
    V3(u8),
}

§Ignore Fields

use educe::Educe;

#[derive(PartialEq, Eq, Educe)]
#[educe(PartialOrd, Ord)]
struct Struct {
    #[educe(Ord(ignore))]

#[educe(PartialOrd, Ord)]
enum Enum {
    V1,
    V2 {
        #[educe(Ord(ignore))]
        f1: u8,

trait A {
    fn value(&self) -> u8;
}

fn cmp<T: A>(a: &T, b: &T) -> Ordering {
    a.value().cmp(&b.value())
}

#[derive(PartialEq, Eq, Educe)]
#[educe(PartialOrd, Ord(bound(T: std::cmp::Ord, K: std::cmp::Ord + A)))]
enum Enum<T, K> {
    V1,
    V2 {
        #[educe(PartialOrd(method(cmp)))]
        f1: K,
    },
    V3(
        T
    ),
}

§Hash

Use #[derive(Educe)] and #[educe(Hash)] to implement the Hash trait for a struct, enum, or union. You can also choose to ignore specific fields or set a method to replace the Hash trait.

§Basic Usage

use educe::Educe;

#[derive(Educe)]
#[educe(Hash)]
struct Struct {
    f1: u8
}

#[derive(Educe)]
#[educe(Hash)]
enum Enum {
    V1,
    V2 {
        f1: u8,
    },
    V3(u8),
}

§Ignore Fields

The ignore parameter can ignore a specific field.

use educe::Educe;

#[derive(Educe)]
#[educe(Hash)]
struct Struct {
    #[educe(Hash(ignore))]
    f1: u8
}

#[derive(Educe)]
#[educe(Hash)]
enum Enum {
    V1,
    V2 {
        #[educe(Hash(ignore))]
        f1: u8,
    },
    V3(
        #[educe(Hash(ignore))]
        u8
    ),
}

§Use Another Method for Hashing

The method parameter can be utilized to replace the implementation of the Hash trait for a field, eliminating the need to implement the Hash trait for the type of that field.

use educe::Educe;

use std::hash::{Hash, Hasher};

fn hash<H: Hasher>(_s: &u8, state: &mut H) {
    Hash::hash(&100, state)
}

fn hash2<H: Hasher, T>(_s: &T, state: &mut H) {
    Hash::hash(&100, state)
}

#[derive(Educe)]
#[educe(Hash)]
enum Enum<T> {
    V1,
    V2 {
        #[educe(Hash(method(hash)))]
        f1: u8,
    },
    V3(
        #[educe(Hash(method(hash2)))]
        T
    ),
}

§Generic Parameters Bound to the `Hash` Trait or Others

Generic parameters will be automatically bound to the Hash trait if necessary.

use educe::Educe;

#[derive(Educe)]
#[educe(Hash)]
enum Enum<T, K> {
    V1,
    V2 {
        f1: K,
    },
    V3(
        T
    ),
}

Or you can set the where predicates by yourself.

use educe::Educe;

use std::hash::{Hash, Hasher};

trait A {
    fn value(&self) -> u8;
}

fn hash<H: Hasher, T: A>(s: &T, state: &mut H) {
    Hash::hash(&s.value(), state)
}

#[derive(Educe)]
#[educe(Hash(bound(T: std::hash::Hash, K: A)))]
enum Enum<T, K> {
    V1,
    V2 {
        #[educe(Hash(method(hash)))]
        f1: K,
    },
    V3(
        T
    ),
}

§Union

The #[educe(PartialEq(unsafe), Eq, Hash(unsafe))] attribute can be used for a union. The fields of a union cannot be hashed with other methods. The implementation is unsafe because it disregards the specific fields it utilizes.

use educe::Educe;

#[derive(Educe)]
#[educe(PartialEq(unsafe), Eq, Hash(unsafe))]
union Union {
    f1: u8,
    f2: i32
}

§Default

Use #[derive(Educe)] and #[educe(Default)] to implement the Default trait for a struct, enum, or union. You can also choose to ignore specific fields or set a method to replace the Hash trait.

§Basic Usage

For enums and unions, it is necessary to designate a default variant (for enums) and a default field (for unions) unless the enum has only one variant or the union has only one field.

use educe::Educe;

#[derive(Educe)]
#[educe(Default)]
struct Struct {
    f1: u8
}

#[derive(Educe)]
#[educe(Default)]
enum Enum {
    V1,
    #[educe(Default)]
    V2 {
        f1: u8,
    },
    V3(u8),
}

#[derive(Educe)]
#[educe(Default)]
union Union {
    f1: u8,
    #[educe(Default)]
    f2: f64,
}

§The Default Value for the Entire Type

use educe::Educe;

#[derive(Educe)]
#[educe(Default(expression = Struct { f1: 1 }))]
struct Struct {
    f1: u8
}

#[derive(Educe)]
#[educe(Default(expression = Enum::Struct { f1: 1 }))]
enum Enum {
    Unit,
    Struct {
        f1: u8
    },
    Tuple(u8),
}

#[derive(Educe)]
#[educe(Default(expression = Union { f1: 1 }))]
union Union {
    f1: u8,
    f2: f64,
}

You may need to activate the full feature to enable support for advanced expressions.

§The Default Values for Specific Fields

use educe::Educe;

#[derive(Educe)]
#[educe(Default)]
struct Struct {
    #[educe(Default = 1)]
    f1: u8,
    #[educe(Default = 11111111111111111111111111111)]
    f2: i128,
    #[educe(Default = 1.1)]
    f3: f64,
    #[educe(Default = true)]
    f4: bool,
    #[educe(Default = "Hi")]
    f5: &'static str,
    #[educe(Default = "Hello")]
    f6: String,
    #[educe(Default = 'M')]
    f7: char,
}

#[derive(Educe)]
#[educe(Default)]
enum Enum {
    Unit,
    #[educe(Default)]
    Tuple(
        #[educe(Default(expression = 0 + 1))]
        u8,
        #[educe(Default(expression = -11111111111111111111111111111 * -1))]
        i128,
        #[educe(Default(expression = 1.0 + 0.1))]
        f64,
        #[educe(Default(expression = !false))]
        bool,
        #[educe(Default(expression = "Hi"))]
        &'static str,
        #[educe(Default(expression = String::from("Hello")))]
        String,
        #[educe(Default(expression = 'M'))]
        char,
    ),
}

#[derive(Educe)]
#[educe(Default)]
union Union {
    f1: u8,
    f2: i128,
    f3: f64,
    f4: bool,
    #[educe(Default = "Hi")]
    f5: &'static str,
    f6: char,
}

§Generic Parameters Bound to the `Default` Trait or Others

Generic parameters will be automatically bound to the Default trait if necessary.

use educe::Educe;

#[derive(Educe)]
#[educe(Default)]
enum Enum<T> {
    Unit,
    #[educe(Default)]
    Struct {
        f1: T
    },
    Tuple(T),
}

Or you can set the where predicates by yourself.

use educe::Educe;

#[derive(Educe)]
#[educe(Default(bound(T: std::default::Default)))]
enum Enum<T> {
    Unit,
    #[educe(Default)]
    Struct {
        f1: T
    },
    Tuple(T),
}

§The `new` Associated Function

With the #[educe(Default(new))] attribute, your type will include an additional associated function called new. This function can be utilized to invoke the default method of the Default trait.

use educe::Educe;

#[derive(Educe)]
#[educe(Default(new))]
struct Struct {
    f1: u8
}

§Deref

Use #[derive(Educe)] and #[educe(Deref)] to implement the Deref trait for a struct or enum.

§Basic Usage

You must designate a field as the default for obtaining an immutable reference unless the number of fields is exactly one.

use educe::Educe;

#[derive(Educe)]
#[educe(Deref)]
struct Struct {
    f1: u8,
    #[educe(Deref)]
    f2: u8,
}

#[derive(Educe)]
#[educe(Deref)]
enum Enum {
    Struct {
        f1: u8
    },
    Struct2 {
        f1: u8,
        #[educe(Deref)]
        f2: u8,
    },
    Tuple(u8),
    Tuple2(
        u8,
        #[educe(Deref)]
        u8
    ),
}

§DerefMut

Use #[derive(Educe)] and #[educe(DerefMut)] to implement the DerefMut trait for a struct or enum.

§Basic Usage

You must designate a field as the default for obtaining an mutable reference unless the number of fields is exactly one.

use educe::Educe;

#[derive(Educe)]
#[educe(Deref, DerefMut)]
struct Struct {
    f1: u8,
    #[educe(Deref, DerefMut)]
    f2: u8,
}

#[derive(Educe)]
#[educe(Deref, DerefMut)]
enum Enum {
    Struct {
        f1: u8
    },
    Struct2 {
        f1: u8,
        #[educe(Deref, DerefMut)]
        f2: u8,
    },
    Tuple(u8),
    Tuple2(
        #[educe(DerefMut)]
        u8,
        #[educe(Deref)]
        u8
    ),
}

The mutable dereferencing fields do not need to be the same as the immutable dereferencing fields, but their types must be consistent.

§Into

Use #[derive(Educe)] and #[educe(Into(type))] to implement the Into<type> trait for a struct or enum.

§Basic Usage

You need to designate a field as the default for Into<type> conversion unless the number of fields is exactly one. If you don’t, educe will automatically try to find a proper one.

use educe::Educe;

#[derive(Educe)]
#[educe(Into(u8), Into(u16))]
struct Struct {
    f1: u8,
    f2: u16,
}

#[derive(Educe)]
#[educe(Into(u8))]
enum Enum {
    V1 {
        f1: u8,
        #[educe(Into(u8))]
        f2: u8,
    },
    V2 (
        u8
    ),
}

§Use Another Method to Perform Into Conversion

The method parameter can be utilized to replace the implementation of the Into trait for a field, eliminating the need to implement the Into trait for the type of that field.

use educe::Educe;

fn into(v: u16) -> u8 {
    v as u8
}

#[derive(Educe)]
#[educe(Into(u8))]
enum Enum {
    V1 {
        #[educe(Into(u8, method(into)))]
        f1: u16,
    },
    V2 (
        u8
    ),
}

§Generic Parameters Bound to the `Into` Trait or Others

Generic parameters will be automatically bound to the Into<type> trait if necessary.

use educe::Educe;

#[derive(Educe)]
#[educe(Into(u8))]
enum Enum<T, K> {
    V1 {
        f1: K,
    },
    V2 (
        T
    ),
}

Or you can set the where predicates by yourself.

use educe::Educe;

fn into<T>(_v: T) -> u8 {
    0
}

#[derive(Educe)]
#[educe(Into(u8, bound(K: Into<u8>)))]
enum Enum<T, K> {
    V1 {
        f1: K,
    },
    V2 (
        #[educe(Into(u8, method(into)))]
        T
    ),
}
