# Struct syn::Generics

source · [−]

    pub struct Generics {
        pub lt_token: Option<Lt>,

Expand description

Lifetimes and type parameters attached to a declaration of a function, enum, trait, etc.

This type is available only if Syn is built with the `"derive"` or `"full"` feature.

## Fields

`lt_token: Option<Lt>` `params: Punctuated<GenericParam, Comma>` `gt_token: Option<Gt>` `where_clause: Option<WhereClause>`

## Implementations

source

### impl Generics

source

#### pub fn type_params(&self) -> TypeParams<'_>

Returns an `Iterator<Item = &` `TypeParam` `>` over the type parameters in `self.params`.

source

#### pub fn type_params_mut(&mut self) -> TypeParamsMut<'_>

Returns an `Iterator<Item = &mut` `TypeParam` `>` over the type parameters in `self.params`.

source

#### pub fn lifetimes(&self) -> Lifetimes<'_>

Returns an `Iterator<Item = &` `LifetimeDef` `>` over the lifetime parameters in `self.params`.

source

#### pub fn lifetimes_mut(&mut self) -> LifetimesMut<'_>

Returns an `Iterator<Item = &mut` `LifetimeDef` `>` over the lifetime parameters in `self.params`.

source

#### pub fn const_params(&self) -> ConstParams<'_>

Returns an `Iterator<Item = &` `ConstParam` `>` over the constant parameters in `self.params`.

source

#### pub fn const_params_mut(&mut self) -> ConstParamsMut<'_>

Returns an `Iterator<Item = &mut` `ConstParam` `>` over the constant parameters in `self.params`.

source

#### pub fn make_where_clause(&mut self) -> &mut WhereClause

Initializes an empty `where`-clause if there is not one present already.

source

### impl Generics

source

#### pub fn split_for_impl(
&self
) -> (ImplGenerics<'_>, TypeGenerics<'_>, Option<&WhereClause>)

Split a type’s generics into the pieces required for impl’ing a trait for that type.

    let (impl_generics, ty_generics, where_clause) = generics.split_for_impl();
    quote! {
        impl #impl_generics MyTrait for #name #ty_generics #where_clause {
            // ...
        }
    }

This method is available only if Syn is built with the `"derive"` or `"full"` feature and the `"printing"` feature.
