# TypeDef

Identify or compare types, get or print type names.

Since Rust 1.0, this library can only display type names on nightly Rust. 

On stable rust, it falls back to gobbledygook (type identifier) instead of a nice name.

To activate the nice names instead of gobbledygook, configure this library with 

`features = ["nightly"]` configuration parameter.

[![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/Nercury/typedef-rs.svg?branch=master)](https://travis-ci.org/Nercury/typedef-rs)

## Quick example

```rust

use typedef::{ TypeDef };

// type name querying:

assert!(TypeDef::name_of::() == "i64");

// and also type value:

let typedef = TypeDef::of::();

assert!(typedef.is::());

assert!(typedef.get_str() == "i64");

assert!(typedef == TypeDef::of::());

println!("type is {:?}", typedef);

```

## Usage

Put this in your `Cargo.toml`:

```toml

[dependencies]

typedef = "0.3"

```

Configure nightly feature on you crate so that cargo argument `--features="nightly"` would enable

`nightly` feature on the typedef crate:

```toml

[features]

nightly = ["typedef/nightly"]

```

And this in your crate root:

```rust

extern crate typedef;

```
