This is a simple derive macro to implement the builder pattern.
For more examples look at `examples/simple/src/main.rs`
```rust
use builder_m4cro::Builder;
/// Custom type that's annotated with the Builder macro
#[derive(Builder, Debug)]
pub struct TestType {
pub a_unsigned: u32,
pub a_opt_unsigned: Option<u32>,
pub a_string: String,
pub a_opt_string: Option<String>,
}
/// The macro expandes to the following code
impl TestType {
pub fn builder() -> TestTypeBuilder {
TestTypeBuilder::new()
}
}
pub struct TestTypeBuilder {
a_unsigned: Option<u32>,
a_string: Option<String>,
a_opt_unsigned: Option<u32>,
a_opt_string: Option<String>,
}
// ...
impl TestTypeBuilder {
pub fn new() -> TestTypeBuilder {
TestTypeBuilder::default()
}
pub fn a_unsigned(&mut self, a_unsigned: u32) -> &mut Self {
self.a_unsigned = Some(a_unsigned);
self
}
pub fn a_string(&mut self, a_string: String) -> &mut Self {
self.a_string = Some(a_string);
self
}
pub fn a_opt_unsigned(&mut self, a_opt_unsigned: u32) -> &mut Self {
self.a_opt_unsigned = Some(a_opt_unsigned);
self
}
pub fn a_opt_string(&mut self, a_opt_string: String) -> &mut Self {
self.a_opt_string = Some(a_opt_string);
self
}
pub fn build(&self) -> Result<TestType, String> {
Ok(TestType {
a_unsigned: self
.a_unsigned
.clone()
.ok_or_else(|| {
let res = ::alloc::fmt::format(
format_args!("{0} is not set", "a_unsigned"),
);
res
})?,
a_string: self
.a_string
.clone()
.ok_or_else(|| {
let res = ::alloc::fmt::format(
format_args!("{0} is not set", "a_string"),
);
res
})?,
a_opt_unsigned: self.a_opt_unsigned.clone(),
a_opt_string: self.a_opt_string.clone(),
})
