I have the following struct:
pub struct Employee {
id: i128,
pub name: String,
pub department: String,
}
Part of my application collects Employee structs into a vector for storage. I would like to write all the Employee structs in the vector to a file. My plan was to do the following:
let mut directory = File::create("employee.txt").expect("unable to make file");
for e in &employees {
directory.write(e).expect("cannot write data");
}
Unfortunately write only takes &[u8] and I'm totally flummoxed on how to approach this problem. It doesn't seem possible to convert the struct values to &[u8] and I'm unsure if extracting each value within the struct to write them to the file is possible.
