# Trait std::any::Any [−] [src]

    pub trait Any: 'static + Reflect {
        fn get_type_id(&self) -> TypeId;
    }

A type to emulate dynamic typing.

Every type with no non-`'static` references implements `Any`. See the module-level documentation for more details.

## Required Methods

### `fn get_type_id(&self) -> TypeId`

Unstable (`get_type_id` #27745)

: this method will likely be replaced by an associated static

Gets the `TypeId` of `self`.

## Methods

### `impl Any + 'static`

#### `fn is<T>(&self) -> bool where T: Any`

Returns true if the boxed type is the same as `T`

#### `fn downcast_ref<T>(&self) -> Option<&T> where T: Any`

Returns some reference to the boxed value if it is of type `T`, or `None` if it isn't.

#### `fn downcast_mut<T>(&mut self) -> Option<&mut T> where T: Any`

Returns some mutable reference to the boxed value if it is of type `T`, or `None` if it isn't.

### `impl Any + 'static + Send`

#### `fn is<T>(&self) -> bool where T: Any`

Forwards to the method defined on the type `Any`.

#### `fn downcast_ref<T>(&self) -> Option<&T> where T: Any`

Forwards to the method defined on the type `Any`.

#### `fn downcast_mut<T>(&mut self) -> Option<&mut T> where T: Any`

Forwards to the method defined on the type `Any`.

## Trait Implementations

### `impl Debug for Any + 'static`

#### `fn fmt(&self, f: &mut Formatter) -> Result<(), Error>`

### `impl Debug for Any + 'static + Send`

#### `fn fmt(&self, f: &mut Formatter) -> Result<(), Error>`

## Implementors

## 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`)
