Macro nix_serialize_remote

nix_serialize_remote!() { /* proc-macro */ }

Macro to implement NixSerialize on a type. Sometimes you can’t use the deriver to implement NixSerialize (like when dealing with types in Rust standard library) but don’t want to implement it yourself. So this macro can be used for those situations where you would derive using #[nix(display)], #[nix(display = "path")], #[nix(store_dir_display)], #[nix(into = "IntoType")] or #[nix(try_into = "IntoType")] if you could.

Example

#[derive(Clone)]
struct MyU64(u64);

impl From<MyU64> for u64 {
    fn from(value: MyU64) -> Self {
        value.0
    }
}

nix_serialize_remote!(#[nix(into="u64")] MyU64);
