Trait Iterable

pub trait Iterable: Sized {
    type Iterator: Iterator<Item = Self> + Clone + DoubleEndedIterator + ExactSizeIterator + FusedIterator;

    // Required method
    fn iter() -> Self::Iterator;
}

This trait designates that an Enum can be iterated over. It can be auto generated using the EnumIter derive macro.

Example

// You need to bring the type into scope to use it!!!
use strum::{EnumIter, IntoEnumIterator};

#[derive(EnumIter, Debug)]
enum Color {
    Red,
    Green { range: usize },
    Blue(usize),
    Yellow,
}

// Iterate over the items in an enum and perform some function on them.
fn generic_iterator<E, F>(pred: F)
where
    E: IntoEnumIterator,
    F: Fn(E),
{
    for e in E::iter() {
        pred(e)
    }
}

generic_iterator::<Color, _>(|color| println!("{:?}", color));

Required Associated Types

type Iterator: Iterator<Item = Self> + Clone + DoubleEndedIterator + ExactSizeIterator + FusedIterator

Required Methods

fn iter() -> Self::Iterator

Dyn Compatibility

This trait is not dyn compatible.

In older versions of Rust, dyn compatibility was called "object safety", so this trait is not object safe.
