Trait CustomType 

pub trait CustomType {
    const CUSTOM_TYPE: &'static CustomType<'static>;
}

Custom type introspection.

This trait is similar to crate::introspect::Type but provides custom type definitions that include the type name and are suitable for IDL generation. While crate::introspect::Type returns inline type information, this trait returns named custom type definitions.

Examples

use zlink_core::introspect::CustomType;
use zlink_core::idl::{self, Field, CustomObject};

struct Point {
    x: f64,
    y: f64,
}

impl CustomType for Point {
    const CUSTOM_TYPE: &'static idl::CustomType<'static> = &{
        static FIELD_X: Field<'static> = Field::new("x", &zlink_core::idl::Type::Float, &[]);
        static FIELD_Y: Field<'static> = Field::new("y", &zlink_core::idl::Type::Float, &[]);
        static FIELDS: &[&Field<'static>] = &[&FIELD_X, &FIELD_Y];

        idl::CustomType::Object(CustomObject::new("Point", FIELDS, &[]))
    };
}

Required Associated Constants

const CUSTOM_TYPE: &'static CustomType<'static>

The custom type information including the type name.

Dyn Compatibility

This trait is not dyn compatible.

In older versions of Rust, dyn compatibility was called "object safety".
