# Using `#[derive(IntoIterator)]`
Deriving `IntoIterator` only works for a single field of a struct.
The result is that you will call `.into_iter()` on this field directly.
With `#[into_iterator]` or `#[into_iterator(ignore)]` it's possible to indicate
the field that you want to derive `IntoIterator` for.
By using `#[into_iterator(owned, ref, ref_mut)]` it's possible to derive an
`IntoIterator` implementation for reference types as well.
You can pick any combination of `owned`, `ref` and `ref_mut`.
If that's not provided the default is `#[IntoIterator(owned)]`.
## Example usage
```rust
# use derive_more::IntoIterator;
#
#[derive(IntoIterator)]
struct MyVec(Vec<i32>);
// You can specify the field you want to derive `IntoIterator` for
#[derive(IntoIterator)]
struct Numbers {
#[into_iterator(owned, ref, ref_mut)]
numbers: Vec<i32>,
useless: bool,
}
assert_eq!(Some(5), MyVec(vec![5, 8]).into_iter().next());
let mut nums = Numbers{numbers: vec![100, 200], useless: false};
assert_eq!(Some(&100), (&nums).into_iter().next());
assert_eq!(Some(&mut 100), (&mut nums).into_iter().next());
assert_eq!(Some(100), nums.into_iter().next());
```
## Structs
When deriving `IntoIterator` for a struct:
```rust
# use derive_more::IntoIterator;
#
#[derive(IntoIterator)]
struct Numbers {
#[into_iterator(owned, ref, ref_mut)]
numbers: Vec<i32>,
useless: bool,
}
```
Code like this will be generated:
```rust
# struct Numbers {
# numbers: Vec<i32>,
# useless: bool,
# }
impl ::core::iter::IntoIterator for Numbers {
type Item = <Vec<i32> as ::core::iter::IntoIterator>::Item;
type IntoIter = <Vec<i32> as ::core::iter::IntoIterator>::IntoIter;
#[inline]
fn into_iter(self) -> Self::IntoIter {
<Vec<i32> as ::core::iter::IntoIterator>::into_iter(self.numbers)
}
}
impl<'__deriveMoreLifetime> ::core::iter::IntoIterator for &'__deriveMoreLifetime Numbers {
type Item = <&'__deriveMoreLifetime Vec<i32> as ::core::iter::IntoIterator>::Item;
type IntoIter = <&'__deriveMoreLifetime Vec<i32> as ::core::iter::IntoIterator>::IntoIter;
#[inline]
fn into_iter(self) -> Self::IntoIter {
<&'__deriveMoreLifetime Vec<i32> as ::core::iter::IntoIterator>::into_iter(&self.numbers)
}
}
impl<'__deriveMoreLifetime> ::core::iter::IntoIterator for &'__deriveMoreLifetime mut Numbers {
type Item = <&'__deriveMoreLifetime mut Vec<i32> as ::core::iter::IntoIterator>::Item;
type IntoIter = <&'__deriveMoreLifetime mut Vec<i32> as ::core::iter::IntoIterator>::IntoIter;
#[inline]
fn into_iter(self) -> Self::IntoIter {
<&'__deriveMoreLifetime mut Vec<i32> as ::core::iter::IntoIterator>::into_iter(
&mut self.numbers,
)
}
}
```
## Enums
Deriving `IntoIterator` is not supported for enums.
