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 both Timestamp and Timestamptz.

  • 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 implement AsExpression this way.
