In my previous post, I described taking a simple enum and creating a custom type in diesel. This post will take that same enum and implement deserialize.

I often get tripped up by the mechanics of deserializing so this simple enum makes for a good example. Again, this is to benefit anyone looking for more examples of Serde's Deserialize as well as for myself, so I can remember next time I need to do this.

I've been working with diesel and serde. I use diesel for my postgres datastore, and serde for serializing/deserializing data to the web. Recently I came across a situation where I needed to define my type in diesel as well as implement deserialize in serde. The example below is a fairly simple so it makes for a good example to share so others can learn (and so I can remember how all this works next time I need it).
