Warning
Info
I recently was reading the book "Rust for Rustaceans" and found a part where it mentioned that it is generally a good idea to implement certain commonly useful traits on your types.
Even if you personally won't use one of those traits' functionality, there is a chance one of your API users will, and the Orphan Rule makes it hard for them to implement those traits on your types after the fact.
In this spirit, I have a list of traits I want to derive for my types (where compatible):
use serde::{Deserialize, Serialize};
#[derive(Clone, Debug, Default, Deserialize, Eq, Hash, Ord, PartialEq, PartialOrd, Serialize)]
struct MyType {
// ...
}
This means I now have a list of 10 different traits that I want to start implementing more consistently in my projects.
I could just check manually, but that could get laborious and error-prone depending on the volume of code involved. I'd much rather automate the process of checking for this stuff.
I noticed there are lints to warn me when I am passing-up on opportunities to implement these useful traits, but I've only been able to find such lints for 2 of them: Copy and Debug:
#![warn(missing_copy_implementations)]
#![warn(missing_debug_implementations)]
What about the other useful traits out there? Is there anything I can do to also have lints set for them as well?
