# What is this?

`boxed-slice` is a simple wrapper around a `Box<T, N>` using const generics for a compile-time constant size.

## DISCLAIMER

As this uses `#![feature(min_const_generics)]`, a Nightly version of Rust is required!  

[However, it appears that `min_const_generics` is on track to become stabilized in Rust 1.50, so stay tuned!](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/79135)

## Example

```rust
use boxed_slice::BoxedSlice;

let answer_slice: BoxedSlice<u8, 42> = BoxedSlice::new(42);
assert_eq!(answer_slice.len(), 42);
assert!(answer_slice.iter().all(|num| *num == 42));

let default_slice: BoxedSlice<u8, 128> = BoxedSlice::default();
assert_eq!(default_slice.len(), 128);
assert!(default_slice.iter().all(|num| *num == u8::default()));
```

## Features

 - `serde`, for full `BoxedSlice` serialization/deserialization support
