<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>
|

|
||
<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 => println!("{}", #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>

<p>Usually you don’t 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>

<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. Let’s
|
||
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">&</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>;

<h4 id="making-method-calls"><a href="#making-method-calls">Making method calls</a></h4>
|
||
<p>Let’s 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<i32></code> then the expanded code is <code>Vec<i32>::new()</code> which is invalid
|
||
syntax. Ordinarily in handwritten Rust we would write <code>Vec::<i32>::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 = <#field_type>::new();
|
||
}</code></pre></div>
|
||
<p>This expands to <code><Vec<i32>>::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>{
