I am trying to select a digest algorithm (from rust-crypto) based on a configuration string. In Python or JavaScript, say, I'd probably use reflection to get at this:
getattr(Digest, myAlgorithm)
...but from what I've been able to Google, this isn't best practice in a language such as Rust (plus I've found no details on how it could be done). My initial thought was to use a pattern match:
let mut digest = match myAlgorithm {
"sha256" => Sha256::new(),
...
};
However, this doesn't work because, while all the branches of the match implement the same trait, they're ultimately different types. Moreover, presuming there were a way around this, it's a lot of hassle to manually enumerate all these options in the code.
What's the right way to do this in Rust?
