Description: API documentation for the Rust `ToString` trait in crate `collections`.

# Trait collections::string::ToString 1.0.0 [−] [src]

    pub trait ToString {
        fn to_string(&self) -> String;
    }

A trait for converting a value to a `String`.

This trait is automatically implemented for any type which implements the `Display` trait. As such, `ToString` shouldn't be implemented directly: `Display` should be implemented instead, and you get the `ToString` implementation for free.

## Required Methods

### `fn to_string(&self) -> String`

Converts the given value to a `String`.

# Examples

Basic usage:

    let i = 5;
    let five = String::from("5");

    assert_eq!(five, i.to_string());

## Implementors

- [src]
  `impl ToString for String`
- [src]
  `impl<'a> ToString for Cow<'a, str>`
- `impl ToString for str`
- `impl<T> ToString for T where
  T: Display + ?Sized,`

## Search Tricks

Prefix searches with a type followed by a colon (e.g. `fn:`) to restrict the search to a given type.

Accepted types are: `fn`, `mod`, `struct`, `enum`, `trait`, `type`, `macro`, and `const`.

Search functions by type signature (e.g. `vec -> usize` or `* -> vec`)
