Trait type_dispatch::DispatchFn

pub trait DispatchFn {
    type Output;

    // Required method
    fn dispatch_fn() -> Self::Output;
}

A dispatch of a static function.

Prefer using the dispatch_fn macro unless the dispatcher will be used several times.

Examples

#[derive(Debug, Default, PartialEq, Eq)]
struct Painting(Vec<usize>);
struct Stroke {
    thickness: usize,
}
impl Painting {
    fn draw(&mut self, stroke: Stroke) {
        self.0.push(2 * stroke.thickness)
    }
}
#[derive(Debug, Default, PartialEq, Eq)]
struct Photoshop(Vec<usize>);
struct Filter {
    strength: usize,
}
impl Photoshop {
    fn draw(&mut self, filter: Filter) {
        self.0.push(5 * filter.strength)
    }
}

#[derive(Default)]
struct Dispatcher<T>(PhantomData<T>);

impl DispatchFn for Dispatcher<Painting> {
    type Output = Stroke;
    fn dispatch_fn() -> Self::Output {
        Stroke { thickness: 5 }
    }
}
impl DispatchFn for Dispatcher<Photoshop> {
    type Output = Filter;
    fn dispatch_fn() -> Self::Output {
        Filter { strength: 3}
    }
}

struct SingleStrokeMasterpiece;

#[impl_dispatch({Painting; Photoshop})]
impl<A> Into<A> for SingleStrokeMasterpiece {
    fn into(self) -> A {
        let mut drawing = A::default();
        drawing.draw(Dispatcher::<A>::dispatch_fn());
        drawing
    }
}

let painting: Painting = SingleStrokeMasterpiece.into();
let photoshop: Photoshop = SingleStrokeMasterpiece.into();
assert_eq!(painting, Painting(vec![10]));
assert_eq!(photoshop, Photoshop(vec![15]));
