Mojo trait
Copyable
The Copyable trait denotes a type whose value can be copied.
Example implementing the Copyable trait on Foo which requires the __copyinit__
method:
struct Foo(Copyable):
var s: String
@implicit
fn __init__(out self, s: String):
self.s = s
fn __copyinit__(out self, other: Self):
print("copying value")
self.s = other.sYou can now copy objects inside a generic function:
fn copy_return[T: Copyable](foo: T) -> T:
var copy = foo
return copy
var foo = Foo("test")
var res = copy_return(foo)copying valueImplemented traits
