<p>Performs variable interpolation against the input and produces it as
<a href="../proc_macro2/struct.TokenStream.html" title="struct proc_macro2::TokenStream"><code>proc_macro2::TokenStream</code></a>.</p>
<p>Note: for returning tokens to the compiler in a procedural macro, use
<code>.into()</code> on the result to convert to <a href="https://doc.rust-lang.org/1.76.0/proc_macro/struct.TokenStream.html" title="struct proc_macro::TokenStream"><code>proc_macro::TokenStream</code></a>.</p>
<br>
<h2 id="interpolation"><a href="#interpolation">Interpolation</a></h2>
<p>Variable interpolation is done with <code>#var</code> (similar to <code>$var</code> in
<code>macro_rules!</code> macros). This grabs the <code>var</code> variable that is currently in
scope and inserts it in that location in the output tokens. Any type
implementing the <a href="trait.ToTokens.html"><code>ToTokens</code></a> trait can be interpolated. This includes most
Rust primitive types as well as most of the syntax tree types from the <a href="https://github.com/dtolnay/syn">Syn</a>
crate.</p>
<p>Repetition is done using <code>#(...)*</code> or <code>#(...),*</code> again similar to
<code>macro_rules!</code>. This iterates through the elements of any variable
interpolated within the repetition and inserts a copy of the repetition body
for each one. The variables in an interpolation may be a <code>Vec</code>, slice,
<code>BTreeSet</code>, or any <code>Iterator</code>.</p>
<ul>
<li><code>#(#var)*</code> — no separators</li>
<li><code>#(#var),*</code> — the character before the asterisk is used as a separator</li>
<li><code>#( struct #var; )*</code> — the repetition can contain other tokens</li>
<li><code>#( #k =&gt; println!(&quot;{}&quot;, #v), )*</code> — even multiple interpolations</li>
</ul>
<br>
<h2 id="hygiene"><a href="#hygiene">Hygiene</a></h2>
<p>Any interpolated tokens preserve the <code>Span</code> information provided by their
<code>ToTokens</code> implementation. Tokens that originate within the <code>quote!</code>
invocation are spanned with <a href="https://docs.rs/proc-macro2/1.0/proc_macro2/struct.Span.html#method.call_site"><code>Span::call_site()</code></a>.</p>
<p>A different span can be provided through the <a href="macro.quote_spanned.html"><code>quote_spanned!</code></a> macro.</p>
<br>
<h2 id="return-type"><a href="#return-type">Return type</a></h2>
<p>The macro evaluates to an expression of type <code>proc_macro2::TokenStream</code>.
Meanwhile Rust procedural macros are expected to return the type
<code>proc_macro::TokenStream</code>.</p>
<p>The difference between the two types is that <code>proc_macro</code> types are entirely
specific to procedural macros and cannot ever exist in code outside of a
procedural macro, while <code>proc_macro2</code> types may exist anywhere including
tests and non-macro code like main.rs and build.rs. This is why even the
procedural macro ecosystem is largely built around <code>proc_macro2</code>, because
that ensures the libraries are unit testable and accessible in non-macro
contexts.</p>
<p>There is a <a href="https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/convert/trait.From.html"><code>From</code></a>-conversion in both directions so returning the output of
<code>quote!</code> from a procedural macro usually looks like <code>tokens.into()</code> or
<code>proc_macro::TokenStream::from(tokens)</code>.</p>

<p>The structure of a basic procedural macro is as follows. Refer to the <a href="https://github.com/dtolnay/syn">Syn</a>
crate for further useful guidance on using <code>quote!</code> as part of a procedural
macro.</p>

<h4 id="combining-quoted-fragments"><a href="#combining-quoted-fragments">Combining quoted fragments</a></h4>
<p>Usually you dont end up constructing an entire final <code>TokenStream</code> in one
piece. Different parts may come from different helper functions. The tokens
produced by <code>quote!</code> themselves implement <code>ToTokens</code> and so can be
interpolated into later <code>quote!</code> invocations to build up a final result.</p>
<div class="example-wrap"><pre class="rust rust-example-rendered"><code><span class="kw">let </span>type_definition = <span class="macro">quote! </span>{...};

<h4 id="constructing-identifiers"><a href="#constructing-identifiers">Constructing identifiers</a></h4>
<p>Suppose we have an identifier <code>ident</code> which came from somewhere in a macro
input and we need to modify it in some way for the macro output. Lets
consider prepending the identifier with an underscore.</p>
<p>Simply interpolating the identifier next to an underscore will not have the
behavior of concatenating them. The underscore and the identifier will
continue to be two separate tokens as if you had written <code>_ x</code>.</p>
<div class="example-wrap"><pre class="rust rust-example-rendered"><code><span class="comment">// incorrect
</span><span class="macro">quote! </span>{
<span class="kw">let </span><span class="kw-2">mut </span>_#ident = <span class="number">0</span>;
}</code></pre></div>
<p>The solution is to build a new identifier token with the correct value. As
this is such a common case, the <a href="macro.format_ident.html" title="macro quote::format_ident"><code>format_ident!</code></a> macro provides a
convenient utility for doing so correctly.</p>
<div class="example-wrap"><pre class="rust rust-example-rendered"><code><span class="kw">let </span>varname = <span class="macro">format_ident!</span>(<span class="string">"_{}"</span>, ident);
<span class="macro">quote! </span>{
<span class="kw">let </span><span class="kw-2">mut </span>#varname = <span class="number">0</span>;
}</code></pre></div>
<p>Alternatively, the APIs provided by Syn and proc-macro2 can be used to
directly build the identifier. This is roughly equivalent to the above, but
will not handle <code>ident</code> being a raw identifier.</p>
<div class="example-wrap"><pre class="rust rust-example-rendered"><code><span class="kw">let </span>concatenated = <span class="macro">format!</span>(<span class="string">"_{}"</span>, ident);
<span class="kw">let </span>varname = syn::Ident::new(<span class="kw-2">&amp;</span>concatenated, ident.span());
<span class="macro">quote! </span>{
<span class="kw">let </span><span class="kw-2">mut </span>#varname = <span class="number">0</span>;
}</code></pre></div>
<p><br></p>
<h4 id="making-method-calls"><a href="#making-method-calls">Making method calls</a></h4>
<p>Lets say our macro requires some type specified in the macro input to have
a constructor called <code>new</code>. We have the type in a variable called
<code>field_type</code> of type <code>syn::Type</code> and want to invoke the constructor.</p>
<div class="example-wrap"><pre class="rust rust-example-rendered"><code><span class="comment">// incorrect
</span><span class="macro">quote! </span>{
<span class="kw">let </span>value = #field_type::new();
}</code></pre></div>
<p>This works only sometimes. If <code>field_type</code> is <code>String</code>, the expanded code
contains <code>String::new()</code> which is fine. But if <code>field_type</code> is something
like <code>Vec&lt;i32&gt;</code> then the expanded code is <code>Vec&lt;i32&gt;::new()</code> which is invalid
syntax. Ordinarily in handwritten Rust we would write <code>Vec::&lt;i32&gt;::new()</code>
but for macros often the following is more convenient.</p>
<div class="example-wrap"><pre class="rust rust-example-rendered"><code><span class="macro">quote! </span>{
<span class="kw">let </span>value = &lt;#field_type&gt;::new();
}</code></pre></div>
<p>This expands to <code>&lt;Vec&lt;i32&gt;&gt;::new()</code> which behaves correctly.</p>
<p>A similar pattern is appropriate for trait methods.</p>
<div class="example-wrap"><pre class="rust rust-example-rendered"><code><span class="macro">quote! </span>{
<span class="kw">let </span>value = &lt;#field_type <span class="kw">as </span>core::default::Default&gt;::default();
}</code></pre></div>

<p>Neither doc comments nor string literals get interpolation behavior in
quote:</p>
<div class="example-wrap compile_fail"><a href="#" class="tooltip" title="This example deliberately fails to compile"></a><pre class="rust rust-example-rendered"><code><span class="macro">quote! </span>{

<span class="attr">#[doc = <span class="string">"try to interpolate: #ident"</span>]

<p>Instead the best way to build doc comments that involve variables is by
formatting the doc string literal outside of quote.</p>
<div class="example-wrap"><pre class="rust rust-example-rendered"><code><span class="kw">let </span>msg = <span class="macro">format!</span>(...);
