//! This library provides a convenient derive macro for the standard library's
//! [`core::fmt::Display`] trait.
//!
//! [`core::fmt::Display`]: https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/fmt/trait.Display.html
//!
//! ```toml
//! [dependencies]
//! displaydoc = "0.2"
//! ```
//!
//! *Compiler support: requires rustc 1.56+*
//!
//! <br>
//!
//! ## Example
//!
//! *Demonstration alongside the [`Error`][std::error::Error] derive macro from [`thiserror`](https://docs.rs/thiserror/1.0.25/thiserror/index.html),
//! to propagate source locations from [`io::Error`][std::io::Error] with the `#[source]` attribute:*
//! ```rust
//! use std::io;
//! use displaydoc::Display;
//! use thiserror::Error;
//!
//! #[derive(Display, Error, Debug)]
//! pub enum DataStoreError {
//! /// data store disconnected
//! Disconnect(#[source] io::Error),
//! /// the data for key `{0}` is not available
//! Redaction(String),
//! /// invalid header (expected {expected:?}, found {found:?})
//! InvalidHeader {
//! expected: String,
//! found: String,
//! },
//! /// unknown data store error
//! Unknown,
//! }
//!
//! let error = DataStoreError::Redaction("CLASSIFIED CONTENT".to_string());
//! assert!("the data for key `CLASSIFIED CONTENT` is not available" == &format!("{}", error));
//! ```
//! *Note that although [`io::Error`][std::io::Error] implements `Display`, we do not add it to the
//! generated message for `DataStoreError::Disconnect`, since it is already made available via
//! `#[source]`. See further context on avoiding duplication in error reports at the rust blog
//! [here](https://github.com/yaahc/blog.rust-lang.org/blob/master/posts/inside-rust/2021-05-15-What-the-error-handling-project-group-is-working-towards.md#duplicate-information-issue).*
//!

//!
//! ## Details
//!
//! - A `fmt::Display` impl is generated for your enum if you provide
//! a docstring comment on each variant as shown above in the example. The
//! `Display` derive macro supports a shorthand for interpolating fields from
//! the error:
//! - `/// {var}` ⟶ `write!("{}", self.var)`
//! - `/// {0}` ⟶ `write!("{}", self.0)`
//! - `/// {var:?}` ⟶ `write!("{:?}", self.var)`
//! - `/// {0:?}` ⟶ `write!("{:?}", self.0)`
//! - This also works with structs and [generic types][crate::Display#generic-type-parameters]:
//! ```rust
//! # use displaydoc::Display;
//! /// oh no, an error: {0}
//! #[derive(Display)]
//! pub struct Error<E>(pub E);
//!
//! let error: Error<&str> = Error("muahaha i am an error");
//! assert!("oh no, an error: muahaha i am an error" == &format!("{}", error));
//! ```
//!
//! - Two optional attributes can be added to your types next to the derive:
//!
//! - `#[ignore_extra_doc_attributes]` makes the macro ignore any doc
//! comment attributes (or `///` lines) after the first. Multi-line
//! comments using `///` are otherwise treated as an error, so use this
//! attribute or consider switching to block doc comments (`/** */`).
//!
//! - `#[prefix_enum_doc_attributes]` combines the doc comment message on
//! your enum itself with the messages for each variant, in the format
//! “enum: variant”. When added to an enum, the doc comment on the enum
//! becomes mandatory. When added to any other type, it has no effect.
//!
//! - In case you want to have an independent doc comment, the
//! `#[displaydoc("...")` atrribute may be used on the variant or struct to
//! override it.
//!

//!
//! ## FAQ
//!
//! 1. **Is this crate `no_std` compatible?**
//! * Yes! This crate implements the [`core::fmt::Display`] trait, not the [`std::fmt::Display`] trait, so it should work in `std` and `no_std` environments. Just add `default-features = false`.
//!
//! 2. **Does this crate work with `Path` and `PathBuf` via the `Display` trait?**
//! * Yuuup. This crate uses @dtolnay's [autoref specialization technique](https://github.com/dtolnay/case-studies/blob/master/autoref-specialization/README.md) to add a special trait for types to get the display impl. It then specializes for `Path` and `PathBuf`, and when either of these types are found, it calls `self.display()` to get a `std::path::Display<'_>` type which can be used with the `Display` format specifier!

/// [Custom `#[derive(...)]` macro](https://doc.rust-lang.org/edition-guide/rust-2018/macros/custom-derive.html)
/// for implementing [`fmt::Display`][core::fmt::Display] via doc comment attributes.
///
/// ### Generic Type Parameters
///
/// Type parameters to an enum or struct using this macro should *not* need to
/// have an explicit `Display` constraint at the struct or enum definition
/// site. A `Display` implementation for the `derive`d struct or enum is
/// generated assuming each type parameter implements `Display`, but that should
/// be possible without adding the constraint to the struct definition itself:
/// ```rust
/// use displaydoc::Display;
///
/// /// oh no, an error: {0}
/// #[derive(Display)]
/// pub struct Error<E>(pub E);
///
/// // No need to require `E: Display`, since `displaydoc::Display` adds that implicitly.
/// fn generate_error<E>(e: E) -> Error<E> { Error(e) }
///
/// assert!("oh no, an error: muahaha" == &format!("{}", generate_error("muahaha")));
/// ```
///
/// ### Using [`Debug`][core::fmt::Debug] Implementations with Type Parameters
/// However, if a type parameter must instead be constrained with the
/// [`Debug`][core::fmt::Debug] trait so that some field may be printed with
/// `{:?}`, that constraint must currently still also be specified redundantly
/// at the struct or enum definition site. If a struct or enum field is being
/// formatted with `{:?}` via [`displaydoc`][crate], and a generic type
/// parameter must implement `Debug` to do that, then that struct or enum
/// definition will need to propagate the `Debug` constraint to every type
/// parameter it's instantiated with:
/// ```rust
/// use core::fmt::Debug;
/// use displaydoc::Display;
///
/// /// oh no, an error: {0:?}
/// #[derive(Display)]
/// pub struct Error<E: Debug>(pub E);
///
/// // `E: Debug` now has to propagate to callers.
/// fn generate_error<E: Debug>(e: E) -> Error<E> { Error(e) }
///
/// assert!("oh no, an error: \"cool\"" == &format!("{}", generate_error("cool")));
///
/// // Try this with a struct that doesn't impl `Display` at all, unlike `str`.
/// #[derive(Debug)]
/// pub struct Oh;
/// assert!("oh no, an error: Oh" == &format!("{}", generate_error(Oh)));
/// ```
