+rand_macros
+====
+
+`#[derive(Rand)]` functionality for the `rand::Rand` trait.
+
+## Usage
+Add this to your `Cargo.toml`:
+
+```toml
+[dependencies]
+rand = "0.4"
+rand_macros = "0.2"
+```
+
+and this to your crate root:
+
+```rust
+extern crate rand;
+#[macro_use]
+extern crate rand_macros;
+```
+
+## Examples
+
+`#[derive(Rand)]` can be used on any `struct` or `enum` where all fields/variants implement `rand::Rand`.
+
+```rust
+#[derive(Debug, Rand)]
+struct Foo {
+ x: u16,
+ y: Option<f64>,
+}
+
+#[derive(Debug, Rand)]
+enum Bar {
+ X{x: u8, y: isize},
+ Y([bool; 4]),
+ Z,
+}
+```
+Now you can call the `Rng::gen()` function on your custom types.
+
+```rust
+use rand::Rng;
+
+let mut rng = rand::thread_rng();
+
+println!("{:?}", rng.gen::<Foo>());
+println!("{:?}", rng.gen::<Bar>());
+```
