## CREDIT
This crate is inspired by [codegen-rs`](https://crates.io/crates/codegen-rs)
## Installation
To use `crustal` clone the repository into the `lib` folder of your Rust project,
or use [crates.io](https://crates.io)
## Usage
You can use `crustal` by adding the following lines to `Cargo.toml` file.
```toml
[dependencies]
crustal
```
Next, create a `Scope` and use the builder API to create elements in the scope.
Lastly, call `Scope::to_string()` to get formatted C code as a string.
```rust
use crustal as CG;
let mut scope = CG::Scope::new();
scope.set_filename("include/my_file.hpp");
scope.push_doc_str("WARNING: This is auto-generated comment\n");
scope.new_include("stdio.h", true);
scope.new_class("MyClass")
.set_base("StateBase", CG::Visibility::Public)
.push_attribute(CG::Attribute::new(
"name",
CG::Type::new(CG::BaseType::new_int(8)),
));
println!("{}", scope.to_string());
```
produces the output
```cpp
/// WARNING: This is auto-generated comment
#include <stdio.h>
class MyClass : public StateBase {
private:
uint64_t name;
}
```
