Utilities for working with impl Traits in Rust.

trait_variant

trait_variant generates a specialized version of a base trait that uses async fn and/or -> impl Trait.

For example, if you want a Sendable version of your trait, you’d write:

#[trait_variant::make(IntFactory: Send)]
trait LocalIntFactory {
    async fn make(&self) -> i32;
    fn stream(&self) -> impl Iterator<Item = i32>;
    fn call(&self) -> u32;
}

The trait_variant::make would generate an additional trait called IntFactory:

use core::future::Future;

trait IntFactory: Send {
   fn make(&self) -> impl Future<Output = i32> + Send;
   fn stream(&self) -> impl Iterator<Item = i32> + Send;
   fn call(&self) -> u32;
}

Implementers can choose to implement either LocalIntFactory or IntFactory as appropriate.

For more details, see the docs for trait_variant::make.
