Auto-generate TryFrom and an error type, with minimal boilerplate.

Usage

Add this to your Cargo.toml:

[dependencies]
try_convert = "0.1"
thiserror = "1.0" # Optional, but recommended

Features

  • thiserror (enabled by default): Use thiserror to derive Error for the error type.

Container attributes

  • #[derive(TryConvert)]: Derive TryFrom for a struct or enum.
  • #[try_convert(from = "source::Struct")]: Derive TryFrom<source::Struct> for the annotated type.
  • #[try_convert(from = "source::Enum", exclude("D { .. }", "E ( .. )"))]: Derive TryFrom<source::Enum> for the annotated type, excluding patterns D { .. } and E (..).
  • #[try_convert(from = "source::Enum", error = "MyEnumError")]: Derive TryFrom<source::Enum> for the annotated type, using MyEnumError as the error type.
  • #[try_convert(from = "source::Struct", error = "MyEnumError", description = "the struct is invalid")]: Derive TryFrom<source::Struct> for the annotated type, using MyEnumError as the error type, with the description "the struct is invalid".

When error is not specified, the error type will be generated as AnnotatedTypeFromSourceTypeError.

Field attributes

  • #[try_convert(from = "i32")]: Uses TryFrom<i32> to convert the annotated field. You can also specify error and description to override the default error variant and message. If error is not specified, the error variant will be <field>To<type>.
  • #[try_convert(unwrap, from = "Option<i32>")]: Tries to unwrap the source field, generating an error if it's None. You can also specify error and description to override the default error variant and message. If error is not specified, the error variant will be SomeFieldIsNone.
  • #[try_convert(map, from = "Vec<i32>")]: Maps every element of the source Vec to the target type, using TryFrom. You can also specify error and description to override the default error variant and message.
  • #[try_convert(filter = "|x| x.is_empty()", error = "EmptyString", description = "the string is empty")]: Filters the source field, generating an error if the filter returns false. error is required.
  • #[try_convert(get = "from.some_string")]: Gets the value from the source field some_string. Precedes all other operations. Can only be specified once.

These attributes can be chained together to perform multiple operations on a single field.

Variant attributes

  • #[try_convert(from = "source::Enum::A(f0)")]: When the source is source::Enum::A(f0), convert to the annotated variant.

Example

The following code:

mod source {
    pub struct Struct {
        pub some_passthrough: usize,
        pub some_string: String,
        pub some_option: Option<i32>,
        pub some_vec: Option<Vec<i32>>,
        pub some_enum: Enum,
    }

    pub(crate) enum Enum {
        A(String),
        B { a: i32, b: i32 },
        C,
        D { c: i32 },
        E,
    }
}

use try_convert::TryConvert;

#[derive(TryConvert)]
#[try_convert(from = "source::Struct")]
pub struct MyStruct {
    some_passthrough: usize,
    #[try_convert(unwrap, from = "Option<i32>")]
    some_option: i32,
    #[try_convert(unwrap, from = "Option<Vec<i32>>")]
    #[try_convert(map, from = "Vec<i32>", error = "CustomErrorVariant")]
    some_vec: Vec<i16>,
    #[try_convert(from = "source::Enum")]
    some_enum: MyEnum,
    #[try_convert(get = "from.some_string")]
    #[try_convert(
        filter = "|x| !x.is_empty()",
        error = "EmptyString",
        description = "the string is empty"
    )]
    some_renamed_string: String,
}

#[derive(TryConvert)]
#[try_convert(from = "source::Enum", exclude("D { .. }", "E"), error = "MyEnumError")]
pub(crate) enum MyEnum {
    #[try_convert(from = "source::Enum::A(f0)")]
    A(String),
    #[try_convert(from = "source::Enum::B { a, b }")]
    B {
        #[try_convert(from = "i32")]
        a: i8,
        #[try_convert(get = "b")]
        #[try_convert(from = "i32")]
        renamed: i16,
    },
    C,
