Crate from_enum

This crate provides a derive macro FromEnum to easily generate conversion impls to extract an enum variant’s value from a newtype-style enum.

This is most useful when writing generic functions that can operate on any variant’s inner type.

Example

# #[allow(dead_code)]
#[derive(FromEnum)]
enum Animal {
  Dog(DogParams),
  Cat(CatParams),
}

fn handle_animal<T: FromEnum<Animal> + Debug>(animal: &Animal) {
    match FromEnum::from_enum(animal) {
        Some(params) => println!("Found my animal {:?}", params),
        None => println!("This is not my animal"),
    }
}

# #[derive(Debug)]
# struct DogParams;
# struct CatParams;
# fn main() {
let animal = Animal::Dog(DogParams);
handle_animal::<DogParams>(&animal);
# }
