enum-kinds

Custom derive for generating enums with matching variants but without any of the data.

In other words, enum-kinds automatically generates enums that have the same set of variants as the original enum, but with all the embedded data stripped away (that is, all the variants of the newly generated enum are unit variants). Additionally, enum-kinds implements From trait for going from the original enum to the unit variant version.

The crate is compatible with stable Rust releases. This crate replaces earlier enum_kinds_macros and enum_kinds_traits crates.

Example

```rust

[macro_use]

extern crate enum_kinds;

[derive(EnumKind)]

[enumkindname(SomeEnumKind)]

enum SomeEnum { First(String, u32), Second(char), Third }

[test]

fn testenumkind() { let first = SomeEnum::First("Example".toowned(), 32); asserteq!(SomeEnumKind::from(&first), SomeEnumKind::First); } ```

The #[derive(EnumKind)] attribute automatically creates another enum named SomeEnumKind that contains matching unit variant for each of the variants in SomeEnum.

no_std support

enum-kinds can be used without the standard library by enabling no-stdlib feature.

Issues
