Derive Macro t7rn_collator::chain_spec::Encode

#[derive(Encode)]
{
    // Attributes available to this derive:
    #[codec]
}

Derive parity_scale_codec::Encode and parity_scale_codec::EncodeLike for struct and enum.

Top level attributes

By default the macro will add Encode and [Decode] bounds to all types, but the bounds can be specified manually with the top level attributes:

• #[codec(encode_bound(T: Encode))]: a custom bound added to the where-clause when deriving the Encode trait, overriding the default.
• #[codec(decode_bound(T: Decode))]: a custom bound added to the where-clause when deriving the Decode trait, overriding the default.

Struct

A struct is encoded by encoding each of its fields successively.

Fields can have some attributes:

• #[codec(skip)]: the field is not encoded. It must derive Default if Decode is derived.
• #[codec(compact)]: the field is encoded in its compact representation i.e. the field must implement parity_scale_codec::HasCompact and will be encoded as HasCompact::Type.
• #[codec(encoded_as = "$EncodeAs")]: the field is encoded as an alternative type. $EncodedAs type must implement parity_scale_codec::EncodeAsRef<'_, $FieldType> with $FieldType the type of the field with the attribute. This is intended to be used for types implementing HasCompact as shown in the example.

#[derive(Encode)]
struct StructType {
    #[codec(skip)]
    a: u32,
    #[codec(compact)]
    b: u32,
    #[codec(encoded_as = "<u32 as HasCompact>::Type")]
    c: u32,
}

Enum

The variable is encoded with one byte for the variant and then the variant struct encoding. The variant number is:

• if variant has attribute: #[codec(index = "$n")] then n
• else if variant has discriminant (like 3 in enum T { A = 3 }) then the discriminant.
• else its position in the variant set, excluding skipped variants, but including variant with discriminant or attribute. Warning this position does collision with discriminant or attribute index.

variant attributes:

• #[codec(skip)]: the variant is not encoded.
• #[codec(index = "$n")]: override variant index.

field attributes: same as struct fields attributes.

#[derive(Encode)]
enum EnumType {
    #[codec(index = 15)]
    A,
    #[codec(skip)]
    B,
    C = 3,
    D,
}

assert_eq!(EnumType::A.encode(), vec![15]);
assert_eq!(EnumType::B.encode(), vec![]);
assert_eq!(EnumType::C.encode(), vec![3]);
assert_eq!(EnumType::D.encode(), vec![2]);
