| //! # The Rust Prelude |
| //! |
| //! Rust comes with a variety of things in its standard library. However, if |
| //! you had to manually import every single thing that you used, it would be |
| //! very verbose. But importing a lot of things that a program never uses isn't |
| //! good either. A balance needs to be struck. |
| //! |
| //! The *prelude* is the list of things that Rust automatically imports into |
| //! every Rust program. It's kept as small as possible, and is focused on |
| //! things, particularly traits, which are used in almost every single Rust |
| //! program. |
| //! |
| //! # Other preludes |
| //! |
| //! Preludes can be seen as a pattern to make using multiple types more |
| //! convenient. As such, you'll find other preludes in the standard library, |
| //! such as [`std::io::prelude`]. Various libraries in the Rust ecosystem may |
| //! also define their own preludes. |
| //! |
| //! [`std::io::prelude`]: crate::io::prelude |
| //! |
| //! The difference between 'the prelude' and these other preludes is that they |
| //! are not automatically `use`'d, and must be imported manually. This is still |
| //! easier than importing all of their constituent components. |
| //! |
| //! # Prelude contents |
| //! |
| //! The first version of the prelude is used in Rust 2015 and Rust 2018, |
| //! and lives in [`std::prelude::v1`]. |
| //! [`std::prelude::rust_2015`] and [`std::prelude::rust_2018`] re-export this prelude. |
| //! It re-exports the following: |
| //! |
| //! * <code>[std::marker]::{[Copy], [Send], [Sized], [Sync], [Unpin]}</code>, |
| //! marker traits that indicate fundamental properties of types. |
| //! * <code>[std::ops]::{[Drop], [Fn], [FnMut], [FnOnce]}</code>, various |
| //! operations for both destructors and overloading `()`. |
| //! * <code>[std::mem]::[drop]</code>, a convenience function for explicitly |
| //! dropping a value. |
| //! * <code>[std::mem]::{[size_of], [size_of_val]}</code>, to get the size of |
| //! a type or value. |
| //! * <code>[std::mem]::{[align_of], [align_of_val]}</code>, to get the |
| //! alignment of a type or value. |
| //! * <code>[std::boxed]::[Box]</code>, a way to allocate values on the heap. |
| //! * <code>[std::borrow]::[ToOwned]</code>, the conversion trait that defines |
| //! [`to_owned`], the generic method for creating an owned type from a |
| //! borrowed type. |
| //! * <code>[std::clone]::[Clone]</code>, the ubiquitous trait that defines |
| //! [`clone`][Clone::clone], the method for producing a copy of a value. |
| //! * <code>[std::cmp]::{[PartialEq], [PartialOrd], [Eq], [Ord]}</code>, the |
| //! comparison traits, which implement the comparison operators and are often |
| //! seen in trait bounds. |
| //! * <code>[std::convert]::{[AsRef], [AsMut], [Into], [From]}</code>, generic |
| //! conversions, used by savvy API authors to create overloaded methods. |
| //! * <code>[std::default]::[Default]</code>, types that have default values. |
| //! * <code>[std::iter]::{[Iterator], [Extend], [IntoIterator], [DoubleEndedIterator], [ExactSizeIterator]}</code>, |
| //! iterators of various |
| //! kinds. |
| //! * <code>[std::option]::[Option]::{[self][Option], [Some], [None]}</code>, a |
| //! type which expresses the presence or absence of a value. This type is so |
| //! commonly used, its variants are also exported. |
| //! * <code>[std::result]::[Result]::{[self][Result], [Ok], [Err]}</code>, a type |
| //! for functions that may succeed or fail. Like [`Option`], its variants are |
| //! exported as well. |
| //! * <code>[std::string]::{[String], [ToString]}</code>, heap-allocated strings. |
| //! * <code>[std::vec]::[Vec]</code>, a growable, heap-allocated vector. |
| //! |
| //! The prelude used in Rust 2021, [`std::prelude::rust_2021`], includes all of the above, |
| //! and in addition re-exports: |
| //! |
| //! * <code>[std::convert]::{[TryFrom], [TryInto]}</code>, |
| //! * <code>[std::iter]::[FromIterator]</code>. |
