anda_db_derive

anda_db_derive is the procedural-macro layer of the AndaDB workspace. It turns ordinary Rust structs into AndaDB schema definitions, reducing boilerplate and keeping application data models aligned with the database type system.

What This Crate Provides

• AndaDBSchema for generating a complete Schema
• FieldTyped for generating nested FieldType descriptions
• support for #[field_type = "..."] overrides
• support for #[unique] and #[serde(rename = "...")]
• extraction of doc comments into schema field descriptions

When to Use It

Use anda_db_derive when you want to:

• define collection schemas from Rust structs instead of building them manually
• keep application models and storage schemas synchronized
• generate nested map-like field types from user-defined structs
• reduce repetitive schema boilerplate in embedded database code

Getting Started

Add the derive crate alongside anda_db_schema:

[dependencies]
anda_db_schema = "0.4"
anda_db_derive = "0.4"
serde = { version = "1", features = ["derive"] }

Typical usage:

use anda_db_derive::AndaDBSchema;
use serde::{Deserialize, Serialize};

#[derive(Debug, Clone, Serialize, Deserialize, AndaDBSchema)]
struct MyDoc {
    _id: u64,
    title: String,
    body: String,
}
