## Features

✨ **High Performance**
- Generated validators execute in <1µs
- Zero-copy design with minimal allocations
- Compile-time optimization via Rust compiler

🎯 **Comprehensive Validation**
- String operations: regex matching, contains, length, case conversion, trim, starts_with, ends_with
- Date/time functions: today(), now(), age(), days_since(), date parsing
- Array operations: contains, any, all, length, is_empty
- Type checking: is_null, is_some for Option types

🛠️ **Developer Friendly**
- Simple validator macro: `#[elo_validator(elo = "expression")]`
- CLI tool for code generation: `elo compile --expression "age >= 18"`
- Framework integration examples (Actix-web, Axum)
- Comprehensive error reporting

## Quick Start

### Using the Validator Macro

```rust
use elo_rust::elo_validator;

#[elo_validator(elo = r#"
  email matches "^[a-z]+@example\.com$" &&
  age >= 18 &&
  verified == true
"#)]
pub struct UserValidator;

let user = User { age: 25, email: "john@example.com".to_string(), verified: true };
match UserValidator::validate(&user) {
    Ok(()) => println!("✅ Valid user"),
    Err(e) => println!("❌ Error: {}", e),
}
```

### Using the CLI

```bash
# Parse and validate ELO expression
elo compile --expression "age >= 18 && verified == true"

# Parse from file
elo validate --input rules.elo

# Compile with output
elo compile --input rules.elo --output validator.rs
```

### As a Library

```rust
use elo_rust::parser::Parser;
use elo_rust::codegen::RustCodeGenerator;

// Parse ELO expression
let parser = Parser::new("age >= 18");
let ast = parser.parse()?;

// Generate Rust code
let gen = RustCodeGenerator::new();
let code = gen.generate_validator("validate_age", &ast, "User")?;
```

### In Actix-web (With ELO Validator)

```rust
use actix_web::{post, web, App, HttpServer};
use elo_rust::elo_validator;
use serde::{Deserialize, Serialize};

#[derive(Deserialize, Clone)]
struct CreateUserRequest {
    username: String,
    email: String,
    age: i32,
}

#[derive(Serialize)]
struct ValidationError {
    field: String,
    message: String,
}

#[elo_validator(elo = r#"
  email matches "^[a-z0-9._%+-]+@[a-z0-9.-]+\\.[a-z]{2,}$" &&
  username.length() >= 3 && username.length() <= 20 &&
  age >= 18 && age <= 120
"#)]
struct UserValidator;

#[post("/users")]
async fn create_user(req: web::Json<CreateUserRequest>) -> HttpResponse {
    match UserValidator::validate(&req) {
        Ok(()) => HttpResponse::Created().json(serde_json::json!({
            "message": "User created successfully"
        })),
        Err(errors) => HttpResponse::BadRequest().json(serde_json::json!({
            "errors": errors
        })),
    }
}
```

## Expression Examples

### Simple Validation
```elo
age >= 18
```

### Email & Username Validation
```elo
email matches "^[a-zA-Z0-9._%+-]+@[a-zA-Z0-9.-]+\\.[a-zA-Z]{2,}$" &&
username |> length() >= 3 && username |> length() <= 20
```

### Temporal Validation (New in 0.4.0)
```elo
created_at >= TODAY &&
expires_at > NOW &&
updated_at < END_OF_DAY
```

### Conditional Validation with Let Bindings
```elo
let username_len = username |> length() in
let email_valid = email matches "^[a-z0-9._%+-]+@[a-z0-9.-]+\\.[a-z]{2,}$" in
username_len >= 3 && username_len <= 20 && email_valid
```

### User Account Validation with Guard
```elo
guard age >= 18 && verified in
email matches "^[a-z0-9._%+-]+@[a-z0-9.-]+\\.[a-z]{2,}$" &&
username |> length() >= 3
```

### Permission Checking
```elo
(roles |> contains("admin") || roles |> contains("moderator")) &&
verified == true &&
active == true
```

### Order Validation with Aggregation
```elo
items |> length() > 0 &&
items |> all(quantity > 0 && price > 0) &&
total > 0
```

### Conditional Pricing with If Expression
```elo
if verified then price * 0.9 else price
```

### Complex Policy Logic
```elo
let is_admin = roles |> contains("admin") in
let account_age = days_since(created_at) in
if is_admin then
  account_age > 0
else
  account_age > 30 && verified && payment_verified
```
