Struct PickFirst

pub struct PickFirst<T>(/* private fields */);

Try multiple deserialization options until one succeeds.

This adapter allows you to specify a list of deserialization options. They are tried in order and the first one working is applied. Serialization always picks the first option.

PickFirst has one type parameter which must be instantiated with a tuple of two, three, or four elements. For example, PickFirst<(_, DisplayFromStr)> on a field of type u32 allows deserializing from a number or from a string via the FromStr trait. The value will be serialized as a number, since that is what the first type _ indicates.

Examples

Deserialize a number from either a number or a string.

#[serde_as]
#[derive(Deserialize, Serialize)]
struct Data {
    #[serde_as(as = "PickFirst<(_, DisplayFromStr)>")]
    as_number: u32,
    #[serde_as(as = "PickFirst<(DisplayFromStr, _)>")]
    as_string: u32,
}
let data = Data {
    as_number: 123,
    as_string: 456
};

// Both fields can be deserialized from numbers:
let j = json!({
    "as_number": 123,
    "as_string": 456,
});
assert_eq!(data, serde_json::from_value(j).unwrap());

// or from a string:
let j = json!({
    "as_number": "123",
    "as_string": "456",
});
assert_eq!(data, serde_json::from_value(j).unwrap());

// For serialization the first type in the tuple determines the behavior.
// The `as_number` field will use the normal `Serialize` behavior and produce a number,
// while `as_string` used `Display` to produce a string.
let expected = json!({
    "as_number": 123,
    "as_string": "456",
});
assert_eq!(expected, serde_json::to_value(&data).unwrap());
