Strum
Strum is a set of macros and traits for working with enums and strings easier in Rust.
The full version of the README can be found on GitHub.
Including Strum in Your Project
Import strum and strum_macros into your project by adding the following lines to your
Cargo.toml. strum_macros contains the macros needed to derive all the traits in Strum.
[dependencies]
strum = "0.26"
strum_macros = "0.26"
# You can also access strum_macros exports directly through strum using the "derive" feature
strum = { version = "0.26", features = ["derive"] }
Modules
- Documentation for Additional Attributes
Enums
- The
ParseErrorenum is a collection of all the possible reasons an enum can fail to parse from a string.
Traits
- AsStaticRefDeprecatedA cheap reference-to-reference conversion. Used to convert a value to a reference value with
'staticlifetime within generic code. - A trait for capturing the number of variants in Enum. This trait can be autoderived by
strum_macros. - Associates additional pieces of information with an Enum. This can be autoimplemented by deriving
EnumMessageand annotating your variants with#[strum(message="...")]. EnumPropertyis a trait that makes it possible to store additional information with enum variants. This trait is designed to be used with the macro of the same name in thestrum_macroscrate. Currently, the only string literals are supported in attributes, the other methods will be implemented as additional attribute types become stabilized.- This trait designates that an
Enumcan be iterated over. It can be auto generated using theEnumIterderive macro. - A trait for retrieving a static array containing all the variants in an Enum. This trait can be autoderived by
strum_macros. For derived usage, all the variants in the enumerator need to be unit-types, which means you can’t autoderive enums with inner data in one or more variants. Consider using it alongsideEnumDiscriminantsif you require inner data but still want to have an static array of variants. - A trait for retrieving the names of each variant in Enum. This trait can be autoderived by
strum_macros.
Derive Macros
- Converts enum variants to
&'a str, where'ais the lifetime of the input enum reference. - Converts enum variants to strings.
- Add a constant
usizeequal to the number of variants. - Generate a new type with only the discriminant names.
- Generated
is_*()methods for each variant. E.g.Color.is_red(). - Creates a new type that iterates of the variants of an enum.
- Add a verbose message to an enum variant.
- Add custom properties to enum variants.
- Converts strings to enum variants based on their name.
- Generated
try_as_*()methods for all tuple-style variants. E.g.Message.try_as_write(). - Add a function to enum that allows accessing variants by its discriminant
- Implements
From<MyEnum> for &'static stron an enum. - Adds a
'staticslice with all of the Enum’s variants. - Implements
Strum::VariantNameswhich adds an associated constantVARIANTSwhich is a'staticslice of discriminant names.
