Struct Preset Hooks

Hook	Called	Args	Purpose
self	Once	{ renderer, model, content, options }	Override entire struct
field	Per property	{ renderer, model, content, options, field }	Field definition
fieldMacro	Per property	{ renderer, model, content, options, field }	Serde attributes for field
structMacro	Once	{ renderer, model, content, options }	Derive macro attributes
additionalContent	Once	{ renderer, model, content, options }	Extra impl blocks

Default struct rendering:

1#[derive(Clone, Debug, Serialize, Deserialize)]  // structMacro hook
2pub struct ModelName {
3  #[serde(rename="original")]                     // fieldMacro hook
4  pub field_name: Option<Type>,                   // field hook
5}
6// additionalContent hook

Enum Preset Hooks

Hook	Called	Args	Purpose
self	Once	{ renderer, model, content, options }	Override entire enum
item	Per value	{ renderer, model, content, options, item, itemIndex }	Enum variant
itemMacro	Per value	{ renderer, model, content, options, item, itemIndex }	Serde attributes for variant

Union Preset Hooks

Hook	Called	Args	Purpose
self	Once	{ renderer, model, content, options }	Override entire union
item	Per member	{ renderer, model, content, options, item }	Union variant
itemMacro	Per member	{ renderer, model, content, options, item }	Serde attributes for variant
structMacro	Once	{ renderer, model, content, options }	Derive + serde tagging

Default (with discriminator):

1#[derive(Clone, Debug, Serialize, Deserialize)]
2#[serde(tag = "discriminator")]
3pub enum UnionName {
4  #[serde(rename = "TypeName")]
5  VariantName(crate::TypeName),
6}

Default (without discriminator):

1#[serde(untagged)]  // logs warning
2pub enum UnionName { ... }

NewType Preset Hooks

Hook	Called	Args	Purpose
self	Once	{ renderer, model, content, options }	Override entire newtype
field	Once	{ renderer, model, content, options }	Wrapped type
structMacro	Once	{ renderer, model, content, options }	Derive macro attributes

Default: pub struct NewTypeName(pub WrappedType);

Package Preset Hooks

Hook	Called	Args	Purpose
manifest	Once	{ renderer, model, options, packageOptions, inputModel }	Cargo.toml content
lib	Once	{ renderer, model, options, packageOptions, inputModel }	src/lib.rs content

Built-in Presets

RUST_COMMON_PRESET

Import: import { RUST_COMMON_PRESET } from '@asyncapi/modelina';

Options (RustCommonPresetOptions):

Option	Type	Default	Description
implementDefault	boolean	true	Add impl Default for enums
deriveDefault	boolean	true	Enable deriving Default trait
implementNew	boolean	true	Add new() constructor methods

Trait Derivation

The Rust generator automatically determines which traits to derive based on model content:

Trait	Excluded When Contains
Hash	Float, Dictionary, Any
Copy	Any, Dictionary, Reference, String
PartialEq	Any
Eq	Float, Any (or if PartialEq excluded)
PartialOrd	Any, Dictionary
Ord	Float, Any, Dictionary (or if PartialOrd excluded)

Always derived: Clone, Debug, Serialize, Deserialize

Constraint System

Type Mappings

MetaModel Type	Rust Type	Notes
Object	ModelName
Reference	ModelName
Any	serde_json::Value
Float (f32)	f32	format: 'fp32', 'f32', 'float32'
Float (default)	f64
Integer	i8/i16/i32/i64/i128/u8/u16/u32/u64/u128	Based on format
String (binary)	Vec<u8>	format: 'bytes', 'binary'
String (default)	String
Boolean	bool
Tuple	TupleName
Array	Vec<T>	Prefixes references with crate::
Enum	EnumName
Union	UnionName
Dictionary	std::collections::HashMap<K, V>

Model Name Constraints

Pipeline: NO_SPECIAL_CHAR -> NO_NUMBER_START_CHAR -> NO_EMPTY_VALUE -> NAMING_FORMATTER(PascalCase) -> NO_RESERVED_KEYWORDS -> NAMING_FORMATTER(PascalCase)

Property Key Constraints

Pipeline: NO_SPECIAL_CHAR -> NO_NUMBER_START_CHAR -> NO_EMPTY_VALUE -> NAMING_FORMATTER(snake_case) -> NO_RESERVED_KEYWORDS -> NAMING_FORMATTER(snake_case) -> NO_DUPLICATE_PROPERTIES

Enum Key Constraints

Pipeline: NO_SPECIAL_CHAR -> NO_NUMBER_START_CHAR -> NO_EMPTY_VALUE -> NO_DUPLICATE_KEYS -> NAMING_FORMATTER(PascalCase) -> NO_RESERVED_KEYWORDS -> NAMING_FORMATTER(PascalCase)

Reserved Keywords (56 total)

Strict: as, async, await, break, const, continue, crate, dyn, else, enum, extern, false, fn, for, if, impl, in, let, loop, match, mod, move, mut, pub, ref, return, self, Self, static, struct, super, trait, true, try, type, unsafe, use, where, while, union, 'static, macro_rules

Future reserved: abstract, become, box, do, final, macro, override, priv, typeof, unsized, yield

Note: Case-sensitive (unlike most other languages).

Customizing Type Mappings

Override specific type mappings while keeping defaults for the rest. Each function receives a TypeContext:

• constrainedModel — the constrained model needing a type string
• options — RustOptions
• partOfProperty? — set when resolving type for a property (has .required flag)
• dependencyManager — RustDependencyManager to add dependencies

1const generator = new RustGenerator({
2  typeMapping: {
3    String: ({ constrainedModel }) => {
4      if (constrainedModel.options.format === 'date-time') {
5        return 'chrono::DateTime<chrono::Utc>';
6      }
7      return 'String';
8    },
9    Float: () => 'rust_decimal::Decimal'
10  }
11});

Dependency Manager

RustDependencyManager extends AbstractDependencyManager with base class only.

Methods:

Method	Description
addDependency(dep: string)	Add raw dependency string (deduplicates)

Note: Rust crate dependencies for generated code are managed through the package preset hook (Cargo.toml) rather than per-file imports.

Quick Reference Examples

Basic struct generation

1const generator = new RustGenerator();
2const models = await generator.generate(jsonSchema);

With common preset

1const generator = new RustGenerator({
2  presets: [
3    { preset: RUST_COMMON_PRESET, options: { implementNew: true } }
4  ]
5});

Generate complete crate

1import { RustFileGenerator } from '@asyncapi/modelina';
2
3const generator = new RustFileGenerator();
4await generator.generateToPackage(schema, './output', {
5  supportFiles: true,
6  package: {
7    packageName: 'my-models',
8    packageVersion: '1.0.0',
9    edition: '2021'
10  }
11});
