enum2pos is a rust derive macro for enums that generates `from_index(usize, Vec) -> Option` and
`to_index()` methods for converting between an variants and
their position within the enum declaration (similar to an index).
## Usage
Add this to your `Cargo.toml`:
```toml
enum2pos = "0.1.2"
```
Example:
```rust
use enum2pos::EnumIndex;
#[derive(EnumIndex, PartialEq, Debug)]
enum SampleEnum {
Unit,
Unnamed(i32, String),
}
#[test]
fn to_index() {
let unit = SampleEnum::Unit;
let unnamed = SampleEnum::Unnamed(42, String::from("test"));
assert_eq!(unit.to_index(), 0);
assert_eq!(unnamed.to_index(), 1);
}
#[test]
fn from_index_unit() {
let index = 0;
let args: Vec = vec![];
let expected = Some(SampleEnum::Unit);
assert_eq!(SampleEnum::from_index(index, &args), expected);
}
#[test]
fn from_index_unnamed() {
let index = 1;
let args = vec!["42".to_string(), "test".to_string()];
let expected = Some(SampleEnum::Unnamed(42, String::from("test")));
assert_eq!(SampleEnum::from_index(index, &args), expected);
}
#[test]
fn from_index_invalid() {
let index = 2;
let args: Vec = vec![];
assert_eq!(SampleEnum::from_index(index, &args), None);
}
```
