Struct Auto From

Simple Rust library for auto generating conversion methods between structs.

When specifying conversion, all fields in the receiving struct type must either be defined in the sender, or have their default values defined on the receiver.

Default value attribute lets you override data from sender.

Instalation

[dependencies]
struct_auto_from = "0.1.0"

Usage

use std::collections::HashMap;
use struct_auto_from::auto_from;

#[auto_from(UserType)]
pub struct UserModel {
    id: i32,
    name: String,
}

#[auto_from(UserModel)]
pub struct UserType {
    #[auto_from_attr(default_value = 0)]
    id: i32,
    name: String,
    #[auto_from_attr(default_value = Default::default())]
    metadata: HashMap<String, String>,
}

fn main() {
    let user_model = UserModel {
        id: 1234,
        name: "GvR".into(),
    };

    let user_type: UserType = user_model.into();

    // use user_type without the need for manual conversion
    // user_type.id == 0
    // user_type.metadata.is_empty() == true
}
