# DreidTyper
**DreidTyper** is a Rust library that turns a minimal `MolecularGraph` (atoms + bonds) into a fully typed, DREIDING-compatible topology. The pipeline is deterministic, aggressively validated, and designed for integrators who need trustworthy chemistry without shipping their own perception code.
At a high level the library walks through:
1. **Perception:** six ordered passes (rings → Kekulé expansion → electron bookkeeping → aromaticity → resonance → hybridization) that upgrade raw connectivity into a rich `AnnotatedMolecule`.
2. **Typing:** an iterative, priority-sorted rule engine that resolves the final DREIDING atom label for every atom.
3. **Building:** a pure graph traversal that emits canonical bonds, angles, torsions, and inversions as a `MolecularTopology`.
## Features
- **Chemically faithful perception:** built-in algorithms cover SSSR ring search, strict Kekulé expansion, charge/lone pair templates for heteroatoms, aromaticity categorization (including anti-aromatic detection), resonance propagation, and hybridization inference.
- **Deterministic typing engine:** TOML rules are sorted by priority and evaluated until a fixed point, making neighbor-dependent rules (e.g., `H_HB`) converge without guesswork.
- **Engine-agnostic topology:** outputs canonicalized bonds, angles, torsions, and inversions ready for any simulator that consumes DREIDING-style terms.
- **Extensible ruleset:** ship with curated defaults (`resources/default.rules.toml`) and load or merge custom rule files at runtime.
- **Rust-first ergonomics:** zero `unsafe`, comprehensive unit/integration tests, and precise error variants for validation, perception, and typing failures.
## Getting Started
Add the crate to your `Cargo.toml`:
```toml
[dependencies]
dreid-typer = "0.5.0"
```
Run the full pipeline from connectivity to topology:
```rust
use dreid_typer::{assign_topology, Element, GraphBondOrder, MolecularGraph, MolecularTopology};
let mut graph = MolecularGraph::new();
let c1 = graph.add_atom(Element::C);
let c2 = graph.add_atom(Element::C);
let o = graph.add_atom(Element::O);
let h_o = graph.add_atom(Element::H);
graph.add_bond(c1, c2, GraphBondOrder::Single).unwrap();
graph.add_bond(c2, o, GraphBondOrder::Single).unwrap();
graph.add_bond(o, h_o, GraphBondOrder::Single).unwrap();
for (carbon, chunk) in [(c1, &h_atoms[0..3]), (c2, &h_atoms[3..5])].into_iter() {
for &hydrogen in chunk {
graph.add_bond(carbon, hydrogen, GraphBondOrder::Single).unwrap();
}
}
let topology: MolecularTopology = assign_topology(&graph).expect("perception + typing succeed");
assert_eq!(topology.atoms[c1].atom_type, "C_3");
assert_eq!(topology.atoms[c2].atom_type, "C_3");
assert_eq!(topology.atoms[o].atom_type, "O_3");
assert_eq!(topology.atoms[h_o].atom_type, "H_HB");
```
Need custom chemistry? Parse a TOML file and extend the default rules:
```rust
use dreid_typer::{assign_topology_with_rules, rules::{get_default_rules, parse_rules}, MolecularGraph};
// Start with the default DREIDING rules
let mut all_rules = get_default_rules().to_vec();
// Parse and append custom rules from a TOML file
let extra_toml = std::fs::read_to_string("my_metals.rules.toml")?;
all_rules.extend(parse_rules(&extra_toml)?);
// Run the pipeline with extended rules
let topology = assign_topology_with_rules(&graph, &all_rules)?;
```
