debug-ignore
This library contains DebugIgnore
, a newtype wrapper that causes a field to be skipped while printing out Debug
output.
Examples
use debug_ignore::DebugIgnore;
// Some structs have many fields with large `Debug` implementations.
#[derive(Debug)]
struct InnerStructWithLotsOfDebugInfo {
field: &'static str,
// ...
}
#[derive(Debug)]
pub struct PublicStruct {
inner: DebugIgnore<InnerStructWithLotsOfDebugInfo>,
}
impl PublicStruct {
pub fn new() -> Self {
Self {
inner: DebugIgnore(InnerStructWithLotsOfDebugInfo { field: "field", /* ... */ })
}
}
}
let x = PublicStruct::new();
assert_eq!(format!("{:?}", x), "PublicStruct { inner: ... }");
// Fields within inner can still be accessed through the Deref impl.
assert_eq!(x.inner.field, "field");
Why?
Some structs have many fields with large Debug
implementations. It can be really annoying to go through a ton of usually irrelevant Debug
output.
DebugIgnore
is a zero-cost, zero-compile-time way to achieve a Debug
impl that skips over a field.
Optional features
serde
: serde
support with #[serde(transparent)]
.
Rust version support
The MSRV is Rust 1.34 though this crate likely builds with older versions. This crate is too trivial to require anything more recent.
Optional features may require newer versions of Rust.
Alternatives
- Implement
Debug
by hand. derivative
has greater control over the behavior ofDebug
impls, at the cost of a compile-time proc-macro dependency.
