What is Employee::from() for?

[sseering]

What is the from method for

rest-api-actix-web/src/employees/model.rs

Line 65 in dd50dd8

impl Employee {

? It seems to be a variant of clone()?

The use in

rest-api-actix-web/src/employees/model.rs

Line 42 in dd50dd8

let employee = Employee::from(employee);

doesn't make sense to me. Wast this supposed to be a converter between Employee and Employees?
