// This does practically the same thing that TryFrom<&str> does. // Additionally, upon implementing FromStr, you can use the `parse` method // on strings to generate an object of the implementor type. // You can read more about it at https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/str/trait.FromStr.html use std::error; use std::str::FromStr; use std::fmt::Display; use std::fmt::Formatter; #[derive(Debug)] struct Person { name: String, age: usize, } #[derive(Debug)] struct ParseError { reason: String } impl Display for ParseError { fn fmt(&self, f: &mut Formatter<'_>) -> Result<(), std::fmt::Error> { f.write_str("fucked up"); Ok(()) } } impl error::Error for ParseError { } // Steps: // 1.
