§default-constructor

Macros for creating pseudo-dsls that constructs structs through default construction and field conversion.

§Motivation

This crates is primary designed for bevy where constructing large bundles with ..Default::default() is common.

§Syntax

Take construct! that uses Into.

construct! {
    Student {
        name: "Timmy",
        age: 10,
    }
}

This converts to

Student {
    name: Into::into("Timmy"),
    age: Into::into(10.into()),
    ..Default::default()
}

§Meta Constructor

The meta constructor macro allows you to define your own macro with custom configurations.

See documentation on meta_default_constructor! for details.

§InferInto

InferInto allows the user to bypass the orphan rule to create conversions.

By default we provide i32 (integer literal) to all numeric types and i64 -> f64 in addition to the standard From and Into.

If multiple conversion paths are found, the conversion will fail, thus failing the infer_construct macro.

§Missing Features

  • Allow paths as type name.
  • Tuple structs support.

§Possible Features

  • Generics parsing.

Traits§

  • InferInto
    Into with relaxed orphan rule, you can define non-owned conversion with a owned Marker. Keep in mind this inference will fail if multiple conversion paths are found.
  • StandardConverters
    Provides conversion from integer literal i32 to other numerical types.
