const_builder/

lib.rs

//! Provides a [`ConstBuilder`] derive macro that generates a `*Builder` type
//! that can be used to create a value with the builder pattern, even in a const
//! context.
//!
//! The attributed type will gain an associated `builder` method, which can then
//! be chained with function calls until all required fields are set, at which
//! point you can call `build` to get the final value.
//!
//! Compile-time checks prevent setting the same field twice or calling `build`
//! before all required fields are set.
//!
//! By default, the `*Builder` type and `*::builder` method have the same
//! visibility as the type, and every field setter is `pub`, regardless of field
//! visibility.
//!
//! The builder isn't clonable and its methods are called by-value, returning
//! the updated builder value.
//!
//! The generated code is supported in `#![no_std]` crates.
//!
//! # Unsafety
//!
//! This derive macro generates `unsafe` code using
//! [`MaybeUninit`](std::mem::MaybeUninit) to facilitate field-wise
//! initialization of a struct, tracking initialized fields via const-generics.
//! This broadly follows the guidance in the [nomicon section on unchecked
//! uninitialized memory], and is, for now, required to get const-compatible
//! builders for arbitrary types.
//!
//! # Struct Requirements
//!
//! All struct fields must be [`Sized`]. Fields using generic parameters may be
//! [`?Sized`](Sized) for some parameters, as long as the actual instantiation
//! of the builder only has [`Sized`] fields.
//!
//! When the struct is `#[repr(packed)]` and the last field may be
//! [`?Sized`](Sized), the field must be attributed with
//! `#[builder(unsized_tail)]` to replace the field drop code with an assert
//! that the field cannot be dropped. Functionally, this combination of packed,
//! unsized tails, and with the builder requirements means that this field has
//! to be [`ManuallyDrop<T: ?Sized>`](std::mem::ManuallyDrop) or a wrapper
//! around it.
//!
//! `enum` and `union` types are unsupported.
//!
//! # Default Values
//!
//! Fields can be attributed with `#[builder(default = None)]` or similar to
//! be made optional by providing a default value.
//!
//! This default value will _not_ be dropped if it is overridden or the builder
//! is dropped. Consequently, the value should be something that does not need
//! to be dropped, such as a primitive, [`None`], [`String::new()`],
//! [`Vec::new()`], [`Cow::Borrowed`](std::borrow::Cow), or similar.
//!
//! # API Stability
//!
//! The API of the emitted builder is considered forward-compatible as long as
//! no fields are removed (even when private but not if its setter was already
//! private) unless care is taken to ensure the surface area to consumers stays
//! the same, and the changes don't already constitute as breaking to consumers
//! of the original struct.
//!
//! Adding the `default` attribute to the struct or field is forward-compatible.
//! Removing the attribute is a breaking change.
//!
//! Additionally, changes to builder attributes that lead to reduction in
//! visibility, renames, removal, or changes in signature of functions in the
//! emitted code are also breaking changes. This includes attributes such `vis`,
//! `rename`, `rename_fn`, and `setter`.
//!
//! Major versions of this crate may also introduce breaking changes to the
//! emitted structs. Minor versions will ensure to emit forward-compatible code.
//!
//! # Unchecked Builder
//!
//! There is also an `*UncheckedBuilder` without safety checks, which is private
//! by default. While similar to the checked builder at a glance, not every
//! attribute applies to it in the same way (f.e. the `setter` attribute has no
//! effect), and its API isn't considered stable across source struct
//! modifications, so it should not be exposed in stable public interfaces.
//!
//! This struct is used to simplify the implementation of the checked builder
//! and it is exposed for users that want additional control.
//!
//! This builder works broadly in the same way as the checked builder, however:
//!
//! - initialized fields aren't tracked,
//! - setting fields that were already set will forget the old value,
//! - calling `build` is unsafe due to the lack of tracking, and
//! - dropping it will forget all field values that were already set.
//!
//! You can convert between the checked and unchecked builder with
//! `*Builder::into_unchecked` and `*UncheckedBuilder::assert_init`.
//!
//! # Example
//!
//! ```
//! use const_builder::ConstBuilder;
//!
//! #[derive(ConstBuilder)]
//! # #[derive(Debug, PartialEq)]
//! pub struct Person<'a> {
//!     // fields are required by default
//!     pub name: &'a str,
//!     // optional fields have a default specified
//!     // the value is required even when the type implements `Default`!
//!     #[builder(default = 0)]
//!     pub age: u32,
//! }
//!
//! let steve = const {
//!     Person::builder()
//!         .name("steve smith")
//!         .build()
//! };
//! # assert_eq!(
//! #     steve,
//! #     Person {
//! #         name: "steve smith",
//! #         age: 0,
//! #     }
//! # );
//! ```
//!
//! # Generated Interface
//!
//! The example above would generate an interface similar to the following. The
//! actual generated code is more complex because it includes bounds to ensure
//! fields are only written once and that the struct is fully initialized when
//! calling `build`.
//!
//! ```
//! # // This isn't an example to run, just an example "shape".
//! # _ = stringify!(
//! /// A builder type for [`Person`].
//! pub struct PersonBuilder<'a, const _NAME: bool = false, const _AGE: bool = false> { ... }
//!
//! impl<'a, ...> PersonBuilder<'a, ...> {
//!     /// Creates a new builder.
//!     pub const fn new() -> Self;
//!
//!     /// Returns the finished value.
//!     ///
//!     /// This function can only be called when all required fields have been set.
//!     pub const fn build(self) -> Person<'a>;
//!
//!     // one setter function per field
//!     pub const fn name(self, value: &'a str) -> PersonBuilder<'a, ...>;
//!     pub const fn age(self, value: u32) -> PersonBuilder<'a, ...>;
//!
//!     /// Unwraps this builder into its unsafe counterpart.
//!     ///
//!     /// This isn't unsafe in itself, however using it carelessly may lead to
//!     /// leaking objects and not dropping initialized values.
//!     const fn into_unchecked(self) -> PersonUncheckedBuilder<'a>;
//! }
//!
//! impl<'a> Person<'a> {
//!     /// Creates a new builder for this type.
//!     pub const fn builder() -> PersonBuilder<'a>;
//! }
//!
//! /// An _unchecked_ builder type for [`Person`].
//! ///
//! /// This version being _unchecked_ means it has less safety guarantees:
//! /// - No tracking is done whether fields are initialized, so [`Self::build`] is `unsafe`.
//! /// - If dropped, already initialized fields will be leaked.
//! /// - The same field can be set multiple times. If done, the old value will be leaked.
//! struct PersonUncheckedBuilder<'a> { ... }
//!
//! impl<'a> PersonUncheckedBuilder<'a> {
//!    /// Creates a new unchecked builder.
//!    pub const fn new() -> Self;
//!
//!    /// Asserts that the fields specified by the const generics as well as all optional
//!    /// fields are initialized and promotes this value into a checked builder.
//!    ///
//!    /// # Safety
//!    ///
//!    /// The fields whose const generic are `true` and all optional fields have to be
//!    /// initialized.

//!    /// Optional fields are initialized by [`Self::new`] by default, however using
//!    /// [`Self::as_uninit`] allows de-initializing them. This means that this function
//!    /// isn't even necessarily safe to call if all const generics are `false`.
//!    pub const unsafe fn assert_init<const _NAME: bool, const _AGE: bool>(self) -> PersonBuilder<'a, _NAME, _AGE>;
//!
//!    /// Returns the finished value.
//!    ///
//!    /// # Safety
//!    ///
//!    /// This function requires that all fields have been initialized.
//!    pub const unsafe fn build(self) -> Person<'a>;
//!
//!    // one setter function per field
//!    pub const fn name(mut self, value: &'a str) -> Self;
//!    pub const fn age(mut self, value: u32) -> Self;

//!    /// Gets a mutable reference to the partially initialized data.
//!    pub const fn as_uninit(&mut self) -> &mut ::core::mem::MaybeUninit<Person<'a>>;

//!
//! # Struct Attributes
//!
//! These attributes can be specified within `#[builder(...)]` on the struct
//! level.
//!
//! | Attribute                   | Meaning |
//! |:--------------------------- |:------- |
//! | `default`                   | Generate a const-compatible `*::default()` function and [`Default`] derive. Requires every field to have a default value. |
//! | `vis = "$vis"`              | Change the visibility of the builder type. May be an empty string for private. Default is the same as the struct. |
//! | `rename = $name`            | Renames the builder type. Defaults to "`<Type>Builder`". |
//! | `rename_fn = $name`         | Renames the associated function that creates the builder. Defaults to `builder`. Set to `false` to disable. |
//! | `unchecked(vis = "$vis")`   | Change the visibility of the unchecked builder type. Default is private. |
//! | `unchecked(rename = $name)` | Renames the unchecked builder type. Defaults to "`<Type>UncheckedBuilder`". |
//!
//! # Field Attributes
//!
//! These attributes can be specified within `#[builder(...)]` on the struct's
//! fields.
//!
//! | Attribute                      | Meaning |
//! |:------------------------------ |:------- |
//! | `vis = "$vis"`                 | Change the visibility of the builder's field setter. May be an empty string for private. Default is `pub`. |
//! | `default = $value`             | Make the field optional by providing a default value. The value must be evaluatable in `const`. |
//! | `rename = $name`               | Renames the setters for this field. Defaults to the field name. |
//! | `rename_generic = $name`       | Renames the name of the associated const generic. Defaults to "`_{field:upper}`". |
//! | `leak_on_drop`                 | Instead of dropping the field when dropping the builder, do nothing. |
//! | `unsized_tail`                 | In a packed struct, marks the last field as potentially being unsized, replacing the drop code with an assert. No effect if the struct isn't packed. |
//! | `setter(transform = $closure)` | Accepts closure syntax. The setter is changed to accept its inputs and set the corresponding value to its output. Parameter types are required. The closure body must be evaluatable in `const`. |
//! | `setter(strip_option)`         | On an [`Option<T>`] field, change the setter to accept `T` and wrap it in [`Some`] itself. Equivalent to `setter(transform = \|value: T\| Some(value))`. |
