# [−][src]Module alloc::prelude

🔬 This is a nightly-only experimental API. (`alloc` #27783)

The alloc Prelude

The purpose of this module is to alleviate imports of commonly-used items of the `alloc` crate by adding a glob import to the top of modules:

    extern crate alloc;
    use alloc::prelude::*;

## Re-exports

`pub use borrow::ToOwned;`
`pub use boxed::Box;`
`pub use slice::SliceConcatExt;`

## 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` or `* -> vec`)

Search multiple things at once by splitting your query with comma (e.g., `str,u8` or `String,struct:Vec,test`)
