It wasn’t even a localhost address, it was a file:// URL if I remember correctly.
Yes, it is that simple. In Rust if you have a structure
Person
and you want to allow testing equality between instances, you just add that bit of code before the struct definition as follows:#[derive(PartialEq, Eq)] struct Person { name: String, age: u32, }
In Rust,
PartialEq
andEq
are traits, which are similar to interfaces in Java. Manually implementing thePartialEq
trait in this example would be writing code that returns something likea.name == b.name && a.age == b.age
. This is pretty simple but with large data structures it can be a lot of boilerplate.There also exist other traits such as
Clone
to allow creating a copy of an instance,Debug
for getting a string representation of an object, andPartialOrd
andOrd
for providing an ordering. Each of these traits can be automatically implemented for a struct by adding#[derive(PartialEq, Eq, Clone, Debug, PartialOrd, Ord)]
before it.
