Struct scale_info::prelude::any::Demand

pub struct Demand<'a>(_);

🔬This is a nightly-only experimental API. (provide_any)

A helper object for providing data by type.

A data provider provides values by calling this type’s provide methods.

Implementations

impl<'a> Demand<'a>

pub fn provide_value<T>(&mut self, value: T) -> &mut Demand<'a>where
    T: 'static,

🔬This is a nightly-only experimental API. (provide_any)

Provide a value or other type with only static lifetimes.

Examples

Provides an u8.

#![feature(provide_any)]

use std::any::{Provider, Demand};

impl Provider for SomeConcreteType {
    fn provide<'a>(&'a self, demand: &mut Demand<'a>) {
        demand.provide_value::<u8>(self.field);
    }
}

pub fn provide_value_with<T>(
    &mut self,
    fulfil: impl FnOnce() -> T
) -> &mut Demand<'a>where
    T: 'static,

🔬This is a nightly-only experimental API. (provide_any)

Provide a value or other type with only static lifetimes computed using a closure.

Examples

Provides a String by cloning.

#![feature(provide_any)]

use std::any::{Provider, Demand};

impl Provider for SomeConcreteType {
    fn provide<'a>(&'a self, demand: &mut Demand<'a>) {
        demand.provide_value_with::<String>(|| self.field.clone());
    }
}

pub fn provide_ref<T>(&mut self, value: &'a T) -> &mut Demand<'a>where
    T: 'static + ?Sized,

🔬This is a nightly-only experimental API. (provide_any)

Provide a reference. The referee type must be bounded by 'static, but may be unsized.

Examples

Provides a reference to a field as a &str.

#![feature(provide_any)]

use std::any::{Provider, Demand};

impl Provider for SomeConcreteType {
    fn provide<'a>(&'a self, demand: &mut Demand<'a>) {
        demand.provide_ref::<str>(&self.field);
    }
}

    &mut self,
    fulfil: impl FnOnce() -> &'a T
) -> &mut Demand<'a>where
    T: 'static + ?Sized,

        });
    }
}

pub fn would_be_satisfied_by_value_of<T>(&self) -> boolwhere
    T: 'static,

🔬This is a nightly-only experimental API. (provide_any)

Check if the Demand would be satisfied if provided with a value of the specified type. If the type does not match or has already been provided, returns false.

Examples

Check if an u8 still needs to be provided and then provides it.
