[][src]Struct syn::Attribute

pub struct Attribute {
    pub pound_token: Pound,
    pub style: AttrStyle,
    pub bracket_token: Bracket,
    pub path: Path,
    pub tts: TokenStream,
}

An attribute like #[repr(transparent)].

This type is available if Syn is built with the "derive" or "full" feature.

Syntax

Rust has six types of attributes.

The style field of type AttrStyle distinguishes whether an attribute is outer or inner. Doc comments and block comments are promoted to attributes, as this is how they are processed by the compiler and by macro_rules! macros.

The path field gives the possibly colon-delimited path against which the attribute is resolved. It is equal to "doc" for desugared doc comments. The tts field contains the rest of the attribute body as tokens.

#[derive(Copy)]      #[crate::precondition x < 5]
  ^^^^^^~~~~~~         ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ ~~~~~
   path  tts                   path         tts

Use the parse_meta method to try parsing the tokens of an attribute into the structured representation that is used by convention across most Rust libraries.

Parsing

This type does not implement the Parse trait and thus cannot be parsed directly by ParseStream::parse. Instead use ParseStream::call with one of the two parser functions Attribute::parse_outer or Attribute::parse_inner depending on which you intend to parse.

#[macro_use]
extern crate syn;

use syn::{Attribute, Ident};
use syn::parse::{Parse, ParseStream, Result};

// Parses a unit struct with attributes.
//
//     #[path = "s.tmpl"]
//     struct S;
struct UnitStruct {
    attrs: Vec<Attribute>,
    struct_token: Token![struct],
    name: Ident,
    semi_token: Token![;],
}

impl Parse for UnitStruct {
    fn parse(input: ParseStream) -> Result<Self> {
        Ok(UnitStruct {
            attrs: input.call(Attribute::parse_outer)?,
            struct_token: input.parse()?,
            name: input.parse()?,
            semi_token: input.parse()?,
        })
    }
}
