Interface TableKey

src/storage/table.rs:330–341

Type that can act as the key for a [`Table`]. Defines how a given type is to be converted into a raw byte array. The chosen byte representation also defines the iteration order and behavior of [`Table::range`] functions. Tables are ordered in lexicographic order of the keys after conversion via [`Self::into_raw`]. You'll want to **output all integer keys with ordinal semantics in big endian to e

/// You'll want to **output all integer keys with ordinal semantics in big
/// endian to ensure that the ordering works correctly**.
pub trait TableKey: 'static {
    /// Container type for the raw representation of the key.
    ///
    /// Typically `[u8; N]`, but can also be something dynamic like `Vec<u8>`.
    type B: for<'a> TryFrom<&'a [u8]> + AsRef<[u8]>;

    /// Load the raw container as a typed value.
    fn from_raw(data: Self::B) -> Self;

    /// Store the typed value as the raw container.
    fn into_raw(self) -> Self::B;
}

/// Implements Rust ordering trait via the table key.
