Neon-serde

This crate is a utility to easily convert values between

A Handle<JsValue> from the neon crate and any value implementing serde::{Serialize, Deserialize}

Versions support

neon-serde targets node >= 6.0 Uint8ClampedArray only works on node >= 8

Usage

neon_serde::from_handle

Convert a Handle<js::JsValue> to a type implementing serde::Deserialize

neon_serde::to_value˚

Convert a value implementing serde::Serialize to a Handle<JsValue>

Export Macro example

The export! macro allows you to quickly define functions automatically convert thier arguments

```rust,no_run

[macro_use]

extern crate neon;

[macro_use]

extern crate neon_serde;

[macro_use]

extern crate serde_derive;

[derive(Deserialize)]

struct User { name: String, age: u16, }

export! { fn say_hello(name: String) -> String { format!("Hello, {}!", name) }

fn greet(user: User) -> String {
    format!("{} is {} years old", user.name, user.age)
}

fn fibonacci(n: i32) -> i32 {
    match n {
        1 | 2 => 1,
        n => fibonacci(n - 1) + fibonacci(n - 2)
    }
}

}

```

Direct Usage Example

```rust,norun extern crate neonserde; extern crate neon;

[macro_use]

extern crate serde_derive;

use neon::prelude::*;

[derive(Serialize, Debug, Deserialize)]

struct AnObject { a: u32, b: Vec, c: String, }

fn deserialize_something(mut cx: FunctionContext) -> JsResult { let arg0 = cx.argument::(0)?;

let arg0_value :AnObject = neon_serde::from_value(&mut cx, arg0)?;
println!("{:?}", arg0_value);

Ok(JsUndefined::new().upcast())

}

fn serialize_something(mut cx: FunctionContext) -> JsResult { let value = AnObject { a: 1, b: vec![2f64, 3f64, 4f64], c: "a string".into() };

let js_value = neon_serde::to_value(&mut cx, &value)?;
Ok(js_value)

} ```

Limitations

Data ownership

All Deserialize Values must own all their data (they must have the trait serde::DererializeOwned)
