Field Types

Rinf uses Bincode serialization under the hood. It currently supports most of the standard types that Bincode does:

• Signed Integers: i8, i16, i32, i64, i128

• Unsigned Integers: u8, u16, u32, u64, u128

• Floating-Point Numbers: f32, f64

• Text: char, String, &str

• Boolean: bool

• Sequences: [T; N], Vec<T>, HashSet<T>, BTreeSet<T>

• Maps: HashMap<K, V>, BTreeMap<K, V>

• Standard Library Types: Option<T>, Box<T>

• Tuple Types: () to (T1, T2, T3, T4)

• C-style enums

• Enums with inner data

You can nest anything that implements SignalPiece inside a RustSignal or DartSignal. Serialize and Deserialize also have their own nesting rules. If there are no compile-time errors and the app builds successfully, you’re good to go.

To represent abstract data such as time, it’s recommended to use integer-based timestamps or simple primitives.
