//!
//! Interactive builders for structs.
//!
//! This crate provides a way to construct structs interactively, prompting the user multiple
//! choices and text inputs.
//!
//! The builder provides the user with interactive menu-like interfaces, keeping the UI abstract
//! and rust type-safeness.
//!
//! ## Rationale
//! When building an interactive application (e.g. a Telegram bot or a console application) it can
//! be pretty cumbersome to come out with a decent interface without writing tons of code for the
//! logic for handling the parsing and the validation of the input.
//!
//! This crates provides a useful abstraction that allows an easy connection between the data and
//! the user interface. Just by deriving the struct (or enum) that defines your data you can get a
//! safe interface for building a UI.
//!
//! The derive API is inspired by the great [`structopt`](https://docs.rs/structopt) crate.
//!
//! ## API Overview
//!
//! The API of this crate is very simple:
//! - Derive a struct (or an enum) from `IBuilder`, including all the structs/enums that it depends
//!   upon;
//! - Call the `builder()` method (from the `Buildable` trait) to get an instance of `Builder<T>`;
//! - Call `get_options()` on the builder to get an object that contains a message to show the user,
//!   a list of possible _choices_ (i.e. buttons to press) and eventually the possibility to enter
//!   some text (i.e. a text box);
//! - Call `to_node()` on the builder to get a tree-like structure with the state of the builder,
//!   highlighting the fields that still need actions;
//! - You choose how to show to the user the options and when the user made the decision call
//!   `choose(input)` on the builder. This will apply the choice to the state of the structure if
//!   it's valid, or return an error;
//! - When the state is complete (all the required fields are present) a new option is present in
//!   the list: _Done_. If the user selects it `choose` will return an instance of `T`.
//!
//! A list of all the possible options for the `ibuilder` attribute can be found [here](https://docs.rs/ibuilder/*/ibuilder/derive.IBuilder.html).
//!
//! ## Supported Features
//! - Deriving any struct with named fields (or with one unnamed field like `struct Foo(i64)`)
//! - Enums (also with variants with field, but only one if unnamed)
//! - Default values for the fields and default variant for enums
//! - Custom message prompt for fields, structs, enums and variants
//! - Renaming fields, structs and variants for better looking options
//! - Hidden fields (that takes the value only from the default)
//! - Nested structures (i.e. custom types)
//! - Supported field types: all numeric types from rust, `bool`, `String`, `char`, `Box<T>`,
//!   `Vec<T>` and `Option<T>`
//! - Any field type that implementes the `NewBuildableValue` trait
//!
//! ## Example of Usage
//!
//! In this example the data is stored inside a struct named `Person` which has 3 fields, one of
//! which has a default value. Deriving from `IBuilder` gives access to the `builder()` method that
//! returns a `Builder<Person>`.
//!

/// ## Communication
/// After having instantiated a new `Builder<T>` you can call the `get_options()` method for
/// fetching the list of possible actions that can be done to update the builder. Those options are
/// like menu entries used to move between menus and set the value of the fields.

/// the user can insert the new value of the number _as a text_ or can choose to go back to the
/// previous menu by pressing on "back".

/// allowed it), or a `Choice` (whose content is the identifier of the selected option between the

///
/// When the user has filled all the fields of the builder, he can select the "done" options, which
/// will make the `choose` method return `Ok(Some(T))`, signaling the end of the communication.
