# Struct core::any::TypeId

    pub struct TypeId { /* fields omitted */ }

Expand description

A `TypeId` represents a globally unique identifier for a type.

Each `TypeId` is an opaque object which does not allow inspection of what’s inside but does allow basic operations such as cloning, comparison, printing, and showing.

A `TypeId` is currently only available for types which ascribe to `'static`, but this limitation may be removed in the future.

While `TypeId` implements `Hash`, `PartialOrd`, and `Ord`, it is worth noting that the hashes and ordering will vary between Rust releases. Beware of relying on them inside of your code!

## Implementations

[src]

### impl TypeId

1.0.0 (const: unstable)[src]

#### pub fn of<T: ?Sized + 'static>() -> TypeId

Returns the `TypeId` of the type this generic function has been instantiated with.

# Examples

    use std::any::{Any, TypeId};

    fn is_string<T: ?Sized + Any>(_s: &T) -> bool {
        TypeId::of::<String>() == TypeId::of::<T>()
    }

    assert_eq!(is_string(&0), false);
    assert_eq!(is_string(&"cookie monster".to_string()), true);
