pub trait Default: Sized {
// Required method
fn default() -> Self;
}Expand description
A trait for giving a type a useful default value.
Sometimes, you want to fall back to some kind of default value, and
don’t particularly care what it is. This comes up often with structs
that define a set of options:
struct SomeOptions {
foo: i32,
bar: f32,
}How can we define some default values? You can use Default:
#[derive(Default)]
struct SomeOptions {
foo: i32,
bar: f32,
}
fn main() {
let options: SomeOptions = Default::default();
}Now, you get all of the default values. Rust implements Default for various primitives types.
If you want to override a particular option, but still retain the other defaults:
fn main() {
let options = SomeOptions { foo: 42, ..Default::default() };
}Derivable
This trait can be used with #[derive] if all of the type’s fields implement
Default. When derived, it will use the default value for each field’s type.
enums
When using #[derive(Default)] on an enum, you need to choose which unit variant will be
default. You do this by placing the #[default] attribute on the variant.
#[derive(Default)]
enum Kind {
#[default]
A,
B,
C,
}You cannot use the #[default] attribute on non-unit or non-exhaustive variants.
How can I implement Default?
Provide an implementation for the default() method that returns the value of
your type that should be the default:
enum Kind {
A,
B,
C,
}
impl Default for Kind {
fn default() -> Self { Kind::A }
}Examples
#[derive(Default)]
struct SomeOptions {
foo: i32,
bar: f32,
}Required Methods§
sourcefn default() -> Self
fn default() -> Self
Returns the “default value” for a type.
Default values are often some kind of initial value, identity value, or anything else that may make sense as a default.
Examples
Using built-in default values:
let i: i8 = Default::default();
let (x, y): (Option<String>, f64) = Default::default();
let (a, b, (c, d)): (i32, u32, (bool, bool)) = Default::default();Making your own:
enum Kind {
A,
B,
C,
}
impl Default for Kind {
fn default() -> Self { Kind::A }
