# Macros for all your token pasting needs [github](https://github.com/as1100k/pastey) [crates.io](https://crates.io/crates/pastey) [docs.rs](https://docs.rs/pastey) [build status](https://github.com/as1100k/pastey/actions?query=branch%master) **_`pastey` is the fork of `paste` and is aimed to be a drop-in replacement with additional features for `paste` crate_**
Migrating from paste crate Migrating from `paste` crate to `pastey` is super simple, just change the following in your `Cargo.toml` ```diff [dependencies] - paste = "1" + pastey = "*" # Or any specific version of pastey ``` Or even better way: ```diff [dependencies] - paste = "1" + paste = { package = "pastey", version = "*" } ```
## Quick Start Add `pastey` as your dependency in `Cargo.toml` ```toml [dependencies] # TODO: Replace with latest version available on crates.io pastey = "*" ``` This approach works with any Rust compiler 1.54+. ## Pasting identifiers Within the `paste!` macro, identifiers inside `[<`...`>]` are pasted together to form a single identifier. ```rust use pastey::paste; paste! { // Defines a const called `QRST`. const []: &str = "success!"; } fn main() { assert_eq!( paste! { [].len() }, 8, ); } ``` ## More elaborate example The next example shows a macro that generates accessor methods for some struct fields. It demonstrates how you might find it useful to bundle a paste invocation inside of a macro\_rules macro. ```rust use pastey::paste; macro_rules! make_a_struct_and_getters { ($name:ident { $($field:ident),* }) => { // Define a struct. This expands to: // // pub struct S { // a: String, // b: String, // c: String, // } pub struct $name { $( $field: String, )* } // Build an impl block with getters. This expands to: // // impl S { // pub fn get_a(&self) -> &str { &self.a } // pub fn get_b(&self) -> &str { &self.b } // pub fn get_c(&self) -> &str { &self.c } // } paste! { impl $name { $( pub fn [](&self) -> &str { &self.$field } )* } } } } make_a_struct_and_getters!(S { a, b, c }); fn call_some_getters(s: &S) -> bool { s.get_a() == s.get_b() && s.get_c().is_empty() } let s = S { a: String::from("x"), b: String::from("x"), c: String::new(), }; assert!(call_some_getters(&s)); let s2 = S { a: String::from("x"), b: String::from("y"), c: String::new(), }; assert!(!call_some_getters(&s2)); ``` ## Case conversion The `pastey` crate supports the following case modfiers: | Modifier | Description | |------------------------------------|---------------------------------------| | `$var:lower` | Lower Case | | `$var:upper` | Upper Case | | `$var:snake` | Snake Case | | `$var:camel` or `$var:upper_camel` | Upper Camel Case | | `$var:lower_camel` | Lower Camel Case [#4] | | `$var:camel_edge` | Covers Edge cases of Camel Case. [#3] | _**NOTE: The pastey crate is going to be a drop in replacement to paste crate, and will not change the behaviour of existing modifier like `lower`, `upper`, `snake` and `camel`. For modifying the behaviour new modifiers will be created, like `camel_edge`**_ You can also use multiple of these modifers like `$var:snake:upper` would give you `SCREAMING_SNAKE_CASE`. Example ```rust use pastey::paste; paste! { const []: &str = "libpastey"; let _ = LIBPASTEY; } ``` The precise Unicode conversions are as defined by [`str::to_lowercase`] and [`str::to_uppercase`]. [#3]: https://github.com/AS1100K/pastey/issues/3 [#4]: https://github.com/AS1100K/pastey/issues/4 [`str::to_lowercase`]: https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/primitive.str.html#method.to_lowercase [`str::to_uppercase`]: https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/primitive.str.html#method.to_uppercase ## Replace modifier The `replace` modifier allows you to perform string replacement on identifiers, using the same semantics as [`str::replace`]. This is useful for transforming identifiers by removing or substituting substrings. [`str::replace`]: https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/primitive.str.html#method.replace ```rust use pastey::paste; macro_rules! m { ($(($command:ident, $from:ident)),+) => { paste! { $(pub struct $command {})* pub enum Command { $( [< $command:replace($from, "") >] ( $command ) ),* } } } } m! { (CommandFoo, Command), (CommandBar, Command), (HelloWorld, Hello) } let command_bar = Command::Bar(CommandBar {}); let command_foo = Command::Foo(CommandFoo {}); let command_hello = Command::World(HelloWorld {}); ``` ## Raw Identifier Generation `pastey` now supports raw identifiers using a special raw mode. By prefixing a token with `#` inside the paste syntax, it treats that token as a raw identifier. ```rust use pastey::paste; macro_rules! define_struct_and_impl { ($name:ident $(- $name_tail:ident)*) => { paste!{ struct [< # $name:camel $( $name_tail)* >]; // '#' signals a raw identifier impl [< # $name:camel $( $name_tail)* >] { fn [< # $name:snake $( _ $name_tail:snake)* >]() {} } } } } define_struct_and_impl!(loop); define_struct_and_impl!(loop - xyz); fn test_fn() { let _ = Loop::r#loop(); let _ = Loopxyz::loop_xyz(); } test_fn(); ``` ## Pasting documentation strings Within the `paste!` macro, arguments to a #\[doc ...\] attribute are implicitly concatenated together to form a coherent documentation string. ```rust use pastey::paste; macro_rules! method_new { ($ret:ident) => { paste! { #[doc = "Create a new `" $ret "` object."] pub fn new() -> $ret { $ret {} } } }; } pub struct Pastey {} method_new!(Pastey); // expands to #[doc = "Create a new `Paste` object"] let _ = new(); ``` #### Credits This crate is the fork of paste and I appreciate the efforts of @dtolnay and other contributors. #### License Licensed under either of Apache License, Version 2.0 or MIT license at your option.
