# Description
<!--
Thank you for improving Nushell. Please, check our [contributing
guide](../CONTRIBUTING.md) and talk to the core team before making major
changes.

screenshots** if your changes affect the user experience.

I was working with byte collections like `Vec<u8>` and
[`bytes::Bytes`](https://docs.rs/bytes/1.7.1/bytes/struct.Bytes.html),
both are currently not possible to be used directly in a struct that
derives `IntoValue` and `FromValue` at the same time. The `Vec<u8>` will
convert itself into a `Value::List` but expects a `Value::String` or
`Value::Binary` to load from. I now also implemented that it can load
from `Value::List` just like the other `Vec<uX>` versions. For further
working with byte collections the type `bytes::Bytes` is wildly used,
therefore I added a implementation for it. `bytes` is already part of
the dependency graph as many crates (more than 5000 to crates.io) use
it.

# User-Facing Changes
<!-- List of all changes that impact the user experience here. This
helps us keep track of breaking changes. -->
User of `nu-protocol` as library, e.g. plugin developers, can now use
byte collections more easily in their data structures and derive
`IntoValue` and `FromValue` for it.

# Tests + Formatting
<!--
Don't forget to add tests that cover your changes.

Make sure you've run and fixed any issues with these commands:

- `cargo fmt --all -- --check` to check standard code formatting (`cargo
fmt --all` applies these changes)
- `cargo clippy --workspace -- -D warnings -D clippy::unwrap_used` to
check that you're using the standard code style
- `cargo test --workspace` to check that all tests pass (on Windows make
sure to [enable developer
mode](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/apps/get-started/developer-mode-features-and-debugging))
- `cargo run -- -c "use toolkit.nu; toolkit test stdlib"` to run the
tests for the standard library

> **Note**
> from `nushell` you can also use the `toolkit` as follows
> ```bash
> use toolkit.nu # or use an `env_change` hook to activate it
automatically
> toolkit check pr
> ```
-->
I added a few tests that check that these byte collections are correctly
translated in and from `Value`. They live in `test_derive.rs` as part of
the `ByteContainer` and I also explicitely tested that `FromValue` for
`Vec<u8>` works as expected.

- 🟢 `toolkit fmt`
- 🟢 `toolkit clippy`
- 🟢 `toolkit test`
- 🟢 `toolkit test stdlib`

# After Submitting
<!-- If your PR had any user-facing changes, update [the
documentation](https://github.com/nushell/nushell.github.io) after the
PR is merged, if necessary. This will help us keep the docs up to date.
-->
Maybe it should be explored if `Value::Binary` should use `bytes::Bytes`
instead of `Vec<u8>`.

Nushell core libraries and plugins

These sub-crates form both the foundation for Nu and a set of plugins which extend Nu with additional functionality.

Foundational libraries are split into two kinds of crates:

  • Core crates - those crates that work together to build the Nushell language engine
  • Support crates - a set of crates that support the engine with additional features like JSON support, ANSI support, and more.

Plugins are likewise also split into two types:

  • Core plugins - plugins that provide part of the default experience of Nu, including access to the system properties, processes, and web-connectivity features.
  • Extra plugins - these plugins run a wide range of different capabilities like working with different file types, charting, viewing binary data, and more.
