Rust-Property

Generate several common methods for structs automatically.

Usage

Apply the derive proc-macro #[derive(Property)] to structs, and use #[property(..)] to configure it.

There are three levels of properties:

• Set crate properties can change the default settings for all containers (structs) in the whole crate.

  Limited by the procedural macros, here we have to use a tricky way to set the crate properties:

  #[property_default(get(..), set(..), ..)]
  struct PropertyCrateConf; // This struct is only used for introducing the attribute macro, and it will be removed in the macro.

• Set container properties can change the default properties for all fields in the container.

• Change the settings of a single field via setting field properties.

If no properties is set, the default properties will be applied:

#[property(
    get(crate, prefix = "", suffix = "", type="auto"),
    set(crate, prefix = "set_", type = "ref"),
    mut(crate, prefix = "mut_"),
    clr(crate, prefix = "clear_", scope = "option")
    ord(asc)
)]

There are six kinds of configurable properties: skip, get, set, mut, clr and ord.

• If the skip property is set, no methods will be generated.

• The visibility of a method can be set via #[property(get(visibility-type))]

  There are four kinds of the visibility types: disable, public, crate (default for all methods), and private.

• The method name can be set in two ways:

  1. Assign a complete name via #[property(get(name = "method-name"))].

  2. Set prefix and / or suffix via #[property(set(prefix = "set_"), mut(suffix = "mut_"))].

  The default setting for all fields is: #[property(get(prefix = "", suffix = ""), set(prefix = "set_"), mut(prefix = "mut_"))].

• The return type of get method can be set via #[property(get(type = "return-type"))].

  There are four kinds of the return types: auto (default), ref, clone and copy.

• The input type and return type of set method can be set via #[property(set(type = "set-type"))].

  There are four kinds of the input types: ref (default), own, none and replace:

  • ref: input is a mutable reference and return is the mutable reference too.

  • own: input is a owned object and return is the owned object too.

  • none: input is a mutable reference and no return.

  • replace: input is a mutable reference and return the old value.

• There is an extra property for set method:

  • full_option: if the value is Option<T>, then the default argument is T without this property.

• The clr method will set a field to its default value. It has a scope property:

  • auto: will generate clr method for some preset types, such as Vec, Option, and so on.

  • option: (default) will generate clr method for Option only.

  • all: will generate clr method for all types.

• If there are more than one filed have the ord property, the PartialEq and PartialOrd will be implemented automatically.

  • A serial number is required for the ord field property, it's an unsigned number with a _ prefix.

    The serial numbers could be noncontinuous, but any two number of these could not be equal.

    No serial number is allowed if the ord property is a container property.

  • There are two kind of sort types: asc and desc.

    The default is ascending (asc), it can be changed to descending if the desc was set.
