Expand description
Converts a type to its representation for use in Diesel’s query builder.
This trait is used directly. Apps should typically use IntoSql
instead.
Implementations of this trait will generally do one of 3 things:
-
Return
self
for types which are already parts of Diesel’s query builder -
Perform some implicit coercion (for example, allowing
now
to be used as bothTimestamp
andTimestamptz
. -
Indicate that the type has data which will be sent separately from the query. This is generally referred as a “bind parameter”. Types which implement
ToSql
will generally implementAsExpression
this way.
