# Struct alloc::fmt::DebugStruct 1.2.0[−][src]

    #[must_use = "must eventually call `finish()` on Debug builders"]pub struct DebugStruct<'a, 'b> where
        'b: 'a,  { /* fields omitted */ }

A struct to help with `fmt::Debug` implementations.

This is useful when you wish to output a formatted struct as a part of your `Debug::fmt` implementation.

This can be constructed by the `Formatter::debug_struct` method.

# Examples

    use std::fmt;

    struct Foo {
        bar: i32,
        baz: String,
    }

    impl fmt::Debug for Foo {
        fn fmt(&self, fmt: &mut fmt::Formatter) -> fmt::Result {
            fmt.debug_struct("Foo")
               .field("bar", &self.bar)
               .field("baz", &self.baz)
               .finish()
        }
    }

    assert_eq!(
        format!("{:?}", Foo { bar: 10, baz: "Hello World".to_string() }),
        "Foo { bar: 10, baz: \"Hello World\" }",
    );

## Implementations

### `impl<'a, 'b> DebugStruct<'a, 'b> where
'b: 'a,` [src]

#### `pub fn field(
&mut self,
name: &str,
value: &dyn Debug
) -> &mut DebugStruct<'a, 'b>`[src]

Adds a new field to the generated struct output.

# Examples

    use std::fmt;

    struct Bar {
        bar: i32,
        another: String,
    }

    impl fmt::Debug for Bar {
        fn fmt(&self, fmt: &mut fmt::Formatter<'_>) -> fmt::Result {
            fmt.debug_struct("Bar")
               .field("bar", &self.bar) // We add `bar` field.
               .field("another", &self.another) // We add `another` field.
               // We even add a field which doesn't exist (because why not?).
               .field("not_existing_field", &1)
               .finish() // We're good to go!
        }
    }

    assert_eq!(
        format!("{:?}", Bar { bar: 10, another: "Hello World".to_string() }),
        "Bar { bar: 10, another: \"Hello World\", not_existing_field: 1 }",
    );

#### `pub fn finish_non_exhaustive(&mut self) -> Result<(), Error>`[src]

🔬 This is a nightly-only experimental API. (`debug_non_exhaustive` #67364)

Marks the struct as non-exhaustive, indicating to the reader that there are some other fields that are not shown in the debug representation.

# Examples

    use std::fmt;

    struct Bar {
        bar: i32,
        hidden: f32,
    }

    impl fmt::Debug for Bar {
        fn fmt(&self, fmt: &mut fmt::Formatter<'_>) -> fmt::Result {
            fmt.debug_struct("Bar")
               .field("bar", &self.bar)
               .finish_non_exhaustive() // Show that some other field(s) exist.
        }
    }

    assert_eq!(
        format!("{:?}", Bar { bar: 10, hidden: 1.0 }),
        "Bar { bar: 10, .. }",
    );

Run

#### `pub fn finish(&mut self) -> Result<(), Error>`[src]

Finishes output and returns any error encountered.

# Examples

    use std::fmt;

    struct Bar {
        bar: i32,
        baz: String,
    }

    impl fmt::Debug for Bar {
        fn fmt(&self, fmt: &mut fmt::Formatter<'_>) -> fmt::Result {
            fmt.debug_struct("Bar")
               .field("bar", &self.bar)
               .field("baz", &self.baz)
               .finish() // You need to call it to "finish" the
                         // struct formatting.
        }
    }

    assert_eq!(
        format!("{:?}", Bar { bar: 10, baz: "Hello World".to_string() }),
        "Bar { bar: 10, baz: \"Hello World\" }",
    );
