# What `#[derive(Unwrap)]` generates When an enum is decorated with `#[derive(Unwrap)]`, for each variant `foo` in the enum, with fields `(a, b, c, ...)` a public instance method `unwrap_foo(self) -> (a, b, c, ...)` is generated. If you don't want the `unwrap_foo` method generated for a variant, you can put the `#[unwrap(ignore)]` attribute on that variant. If you want to treat a reference, you can put the `#[unwrap(ref)]` attribute on the enum declaration or that variant, then `unwrap_foo_ref(self) -> (&a, &b, &c, ...)` will be generated. You can also use mutable references by putting `#[unwrap(ref_mut)]`. ## Example usage ```rust # use derive_more::Unwrap; # # #[derive(Debug, PartialEq)] #[derive(Unwrap)] #[unwrap(ref)] enum Maybe { Just(T), Nothing, } fn main() { assert_eq!(Maybe::Just(1).unwrap_just(), 1); // Panics if variants are different // assert_eq!(Maybe::<()>::Nothing.unwrap_just(), /* panic */); // assert_eq!(Maybe::Just(2).unwrap_nothing(), /* panic */); assert_eq!((&Maybe::Just(42)).unwrap_just_ref(), &42); } ``` ### What is generated? The derive in the above example code generates the following code: ```rust # enum Maybe { # Just(T), # Nothing, # } # impl Maybe { pub fn unwrap_nothing(self) -> () { match self { Maybe::Nothing => (), _ => panic!(), } } pub fn unwrap_nothing_ref(&self) -> () { match self { Maybe::Nothing => (), _ => panic!(), } } pub fn unwrap_just(self) -> T { match self { Maybe::Just(field_0) => field_0, _ => panic!(), } } pub fn unwrap_just_ref(&self) -> &T { match self { Maybe::Just(field_0) => field_0, _ => panic!(), } } } ```
