Strum is a set of macros and traits for working with enums and strings easier in Rust.

# Compatibility

Strum is currently compatible with versions of rustc >= 1.66.1. Pull Requests that improve compatibility with older
versions are welcome. The project goal is to support a rust version for at least 2 years after release
and even longer is preferred since this project changes slowly.

# Including Strum in Your Project

Import strum and strum_macros into your project by adding the following lines to your
Cargo.toml. Strum_macros contains the macros needed to derive all the traits in Strum.

```toml
[dependencies]
strum = "0.26"
strum_macros = "0.26"

# You can also use the "derive" feature, and import the macros directly from "strum"
# strum = { version = "0.26", features = ["derive"] }
```

# Strum Macros

Strum has implemented the following macros:

| Macro | Description |
| --- | ----------- |
| [EnumString] | Converts strings to enum variants based on their name. |
| [Display] | Converts enum variants to strings |
| [FromRepr] | Convert from an integer to an enum. |
| [AsRefStr] | Implement `AsRef` for `MyEnum` |
| [IntoStaticStr] | Implements `From for &'static str` on an enum |
| [EnumIter] | Creates a new type that iterates of the variants of an enum. |
| [EnumProperty] | Add custom properties to enum variants. |
| [EnumMessage] | Add a verbose message to an enum variant. |
| [EnumDiscriminants] | Generate a new type with only the discriminant names. |
| [EnumCount] | Add a constant `usize` equal to the number of variants. |
| [VariantArray] | Adds an associated `VARIANTS` constant which is an array of all enum discriminants |
| [VariantNames] | Adds an associated `VARIANTS` constant which is an array of discriminant names |
| [EnumTable] | *Experimental*, creates a new type that stores an item of a specified type for each variant of the enum. |

# Contributing

Thanks for your interest in contributing. Bug fixes are always welcome. If you are interested in implementing or
adding a macro, please open an issue first to discuss the feature. I have limited bandwidth to review new features.

The project is divided into 3 parts, the traits are in the
`/strum` folder. The procedural macros are in the `/strum_macros` folder, and the integration tests are
in `/strum_tests`. If you are adding additional features to `strum` or `strum_macros`, you should make sure
to run the tests and add new integration tests to make sure the features work as expected.

# Debugging

To see the generated code, set the STRUM_DEBUG environment variable before compiling your code.
`STRUM_DEBUG=1` will dump all of the generated code for every type. `STRUM_DEBUG=YourType` will
only dump the code generated on a type named `YourType`.

# Name

Strum is short for STRing enUM because it's a library for augmenting enums with additional
information through strings.

Strumming is also a very whimsical motion, much like writing Rust code.
