Infallible ToBigInt

Overview

This crate provides to traits InfallibleToBigInt and InfallibleToBigUint. They provide the to_bigint(&self) and to_biguint(&self) from the popular num-bigint crate. But they are only implemented on types that support infallible conversion, and so they do not return a Result but only BigInt/BigUint. This results in cleaner code.

Installation

Cargo

• Install the rust toolchain in order to have cargo installed by following this guide.
• run cargo install infallible_tobigint

Usage

use crate::infallible_to_big_int::*;

// use the conversion directly
153830.to_bigint();

// or define a function which takes any InfallibleToBigInt
fn do_great_things(to_bigint: impl InfallibleToBigInt) {
    let bigint = to_bigint.to_bigint();
    // ... do something nice with bigint here
}

// then you can call it like this
do_great_things(153830)
