In Swift I can attach extension methods to any of struct
, enum
or protocol
(same with trait
in Rust).
protocol Foo1 {
func method1() -> Int
}
extension Foo1 {
func method2() {
print("\(method1())")
}
}
Then all types conforming the protocol Foo1
now all have method2()
.
This is very useful to build "method chaining" easily.
How to do same in Rust? This doesn't work with an error.
struct Kaz {}
impl Foo for Kaz {}
trait Foo {
fn sample1(&self) -> isize { 111 }
}
impl Foo {
fn sample2(&self) {
println!("{}", self.sample1());
}
}
fn main() {
let x = Kaz {};
x.sample1();
x.sample2();
}
Here's the error.

In Rust, you can use extension traits
, that is a trait with a generic implementation for all types T
that implement the base trait:
struct Kaz {}
impl Foo for Kaz {}
trait Foo {
fn sample1(&self) -> isize { 111 }
}
trait FooExt {
fn sample2(&self);
}
impl<T: Foo> FooExt for T {
fn sample2(&self) {
println!("{}", self.sample1());
}
}
fn main() {
let x = Kaz {};
x.sample1();
x.sample2();
}
