| The `Default` trait was derived on an enum without specifying the default | |
| variant. | |
| Erroneous code example: | |
| ```compile_fail,E0665 | |
| #[derive(Default)] | |
| enum Food { | |
| Sweet, | |
| Salty, | |
| } | |
| ``` | |
| The `Default` cannot be derived on an enum for the simple reason that the | |
| compiler doesn't know which value to pick by default whereas it can for a | |
| struct as long as all its fields implement the `Default` trait as well. | |
| For the case where the desired default variant has no payload, you can | |
| annotate it with `#[default]` to derive it: | |
| ``` | |
| #[derive(Default)] | |
| enum Food { | |
| #[default] | |
| Sweet, | |
| Salty, | |
| } | |
| ``` | |
| In the case where the default variant does have a payload, you will have to | |
| implement `Default` on your enum manually: | |
| ``` | |
| enum Food { | |
| Sweet(i32), | |
| Salty, | |
| } | |
| impl Default for Food { | |
| fn default() -> Food { | |
| Food::Sweet(1) | |
| } | |
| } | |
| ``` |
