Trait bincode::enc::Encode

Any source that can be encoded. This trait should be implemented for all types that you want to be able to use with any of the encode_with methods.

This trait will be automatically implemented if you enable the derive feature and add #[derive(bincode::Encode)] to your trait.

Implementing this trait manually

If you want to implement this trait for your type, the easiest way is to add a #[derive(bincode::Encode)], build and check your target/ folder. This should generate a <Struct name>_Encode.rs file.

For this struct:

struct Entity {
    pub x: f32,
    pub y: f32,
}

It will look something like:

impl bincode::Encode for Entity {
    fn encode<E: bincode::enc::Encoder>(
        &self,
        encoder: &mut E,
    ) -> core::result::Result<(), bincode::error::EncodeError> {
        bincode::Encode::encode(&self.x, encoder)?;
        bincode::Encode::encode(&self.y, encoder)?;
        Ok(())
    }
}

From here you can add/remove fields, or add custom logic.
