Function from_value

pub fn from_value<T>(value: Value) -> Result<T>
where
    T: DeserializeOwned,

Convert a hcl::Value into a type T that implements serde::Deserialize.

Example

use hcl::{Map, Value};
use serde::Deserialize;

#[derive(Debug, Deserialize, PartialEq)]
struct Custom {
    foo: String,
    bar: u64,
}

let value = Value::Object({
    let mut object = Map::new();
    object.insert("foo".into(), "baz".into());
    object.insert("bar".into(), 42u64.into());
    object
});


let expected = Custom {
    foo: "baz".into(),
    bar: 42,
};

let custom: Custom = hcl::from_value(value)?;

assert_eq!(custom, expected);

Errors

This conversion can fail if T’s implementation of serde::Deserialize decides to fail.
