# `string_deref_patterns` | ||
|

The tracking issue for this feature is: [#87121] | ||

|
||
------------------------ | ||
|
||
This feature permits pattern matching `String` to `&str` through [its `Deref` implementation]. | ||
|
||
```rust | ||
#![feature(string_deref_patterns)] | ||
|
||
pub enum Value { | ||
String(String), | ||
Number(u32), | ||
} | ||
|
||
pub fn is_it_the_answer(value: Value) -> bool { | ||
match value { | ||
Value::String("42") => true, | ||
Value::Number(42) => true, | ||
_ => false, | ||
} | ||
} | ||
``` | ||
|
||
Without this feature other constructs such as match guards have to be used. | ||
|
||
```rust | ||
# pub enum Value { | ||
# String(String), | ||
# Number(u32), | ||
# } | ||
# | ||
pub fn is_it_the_answer(value: Value) -> bool { | ||
match value { | ||
Value::String(s) if s == "42" => true, | ||
Value::Number(42) => true, | ||
_ => false, | ||
} | ||
} | ||
``` | ||
