## Quick Start

```toml
# Only automatic error context
[dependencies]
easy-macros = { version = "...", features = ["general"] }

# All tools for proc-macro development
[dependencies]
easy-macros = { version = "...", features = ["full"] }
```

## Features

### 1. Automatic Error Context - **Works in Any Project**

**Feature flag**: `always-context` (included in `general` and `full`)

Add `.with_context()` to all `?` operators automatically:

<!-- docify::embed!("src/examples.rs", always_context_example) -->

**Control attributes**: `#[no_context]`, `#[context(display)]`, `#[context(ignore)]`

### 2. Attribute Pattern Matching

**Feature flag**: `attributes` (included in `full`)

Extract values from attributes using `__unknown__` placeholder:

<!-- docify::embed!("src/examples.rs", attributes_comprehensive_example) -->

### 3. Exhaustive AST Traversal

**Feature flag**: `all-syntax-cases` (included in `full`)

Generate recursive handlers for all syn types:

<!-- docify::embed!("src/examples.rs", ast_traversal_example) -->

Smart unwrapping of `Box<T>`, `Vec<T>`, `Punctuated<T, _>`. Generates handlers for Item, Expr, Stmt, Pat, Type, and more.

### 4. Helper Utilities

**Feature flags**: Individual helpers or `full` for all

<!-- docify::embed!("src/examples.rs", helper_utilities_comprehensive_example) -->

```rust,ignore
// Parse that returns Ok(...) with compile_error! on failure
// Feature: `parse-macro-input` (included in `full`)
let parsed = parse_macro_input!(input as syn::DeriveInput);
```

### 5. Result Type for Proc Macros

**Feature flag**: `anyhow-result` (included in `full`)

Use `anyhow::Result<TokenStream>` in proc macros:

```rust
use easy_macros::anyhow_result;

#[proc_macro_derive(MyTrait)]
#[anyhow_result]
fn derive_my_trait(input: TokenStream) -> anyhow::Result<TokenStream> {
    let parsed: syn::DeriveInput = syn::parse(input)?;
    anyhow::ensure!(!parsed.fields.is_empty(), "Struct must have fields");
    Ok(quote! { /* generated */ }.into())
}
// Errors convert to compile_error! automatically
```

### 6. Add Code - Make (Docify) Examples minimal

**Feature flag**: `add-code` (included in `full`)

Use `#[add_code]` to inject setup/teardown or assertions around a function while keeping
[docify](https://crates.io/crates/docify)-generated examples clean and minimal.

```rust
use easy_macros::add_code;

#[add_code(before = { let _guard = setup(); })]
fn example() {
  // This stays minimal for docify examples.
  do_work();
}

// The code inside the braces is inserted without the braces.
#[add_code(after = {
  assert!(is_valid());
  Ok(())
})]
fn with_return() -> Result<(), Error> {
  do_more_work();
}

#[add_code(before = { let _guard = setup(); }, after = { teardown(); })]
fn both() {
  do_another_work();
}
```

## Feature Flags

### Feature Groups

- **`general`** - Automatic error context for any project
  - Includes: `always-context`, `context`
  - Use when you only need automatic error context, not proc-macro development tools

- **`full`** - Complete toolkit for proc-macro development
  - Includes: `all-syntax-cases`, `always-context`, `attributes`, `anyhow-result`, `add-code`, and all helpers
  - Use when building procedural macros or need the full feature set

- **`build`** - Build-time macro that auto-adds `#[always_context]` to all functions returning `anyhow::Result`
  - Standalone feature, not included in `general` or `full`
  - Add to `[build-dependencies]` and configure via `build.rs`

### Individual Features

**Core Proc-Macro Tools**:

- **`all-syntax-cases`** - Exhaustive AST traversal and handler generation
- **`always-context`** - `#[always_context]` attribute for automatic error context
- **`attributes`** - Attribute pattern matching macros (`has_attributes!`, `get_attributes!`, etc.)
- **`anyhow-result`** - `#[anyhow_result]` for using `anyhow::Result<TokenStream>` in proc-macros
- **`add-code`** - `#[add_code]` for injecting code before/after function bodies

**Helper Utilities** (granular control):

- **`context`** - `context!()` macro for manual error context with file/line info
- **`tokens-builder`** - `TokensBuilder` for incrementally building token streams
- **`indexed-name`** - `indexed_name()` for generating indexed identifiers
- **`find-crate`** - `find_crate()` and `find_crate_list()` for locating crates with rename support
- **`parse-macro-input`** - `parse_macro_input!()` with automatic `compile_error!` on parse failure
- **`expr-error-wrap`** - `expr_error_wrap()` utilities for wrapping expressions
- **`readable-token-stream`** - Token stream formatting utilities
- **`token-stream-consistent`** - Consistent token stream string conversion

### Integration Features

- **`easy-sql`** - Integration with Easy-SQL crate
  - Adds Easy-SQL support to `#[always_context]` and attribute macros
  - Optional: only needed if using Easy-SQL in your project
