look_inside 0.2.1

Look inside structs, enums, and unions!
Documentation
//! This crate provides the `LookInside` custom derive macro that allows
//! introspecting the fields of structs and enums at compile time.
//!
//! It also provides modules for working with different types:
//!
//! - `enums` - Provides functionality for enum types.
//! - `fields` - Provides functionality for struct fields.
//! - `structs` - Provides functionality for struct types.
//! - `unions` - Provides functionality for union types.
//!
//! The `LookInside` macro generates an implementation of the `LookInside`
//! trait which exposes the fields and variants in a structured way at
//! compile time. This allows iterating and matching on fields and variants
//! in macros.
//!
//! Key items exported:
//!
//! - `LookInside` - The custom derive macro.
//! - `Ident`, `Type`, etc. - Re-exports of useful types from Syn.
//! This crate provides a convenient way to introspect struct and enum fields at
//! compile time using the `LookInside` custom derive macro.
//!
//! To use it to view the structure of your structs, enums, and unions, add
//! `#[derive(LookInside)]` to your struct or enum definition. This will
//! generate an implementation of the `LookInside` trait for that type, which exposes
//! its fields and variants in a structured way in a panic message.
//!
//! For example:
//!
//! ``` Rust
//! #[derive(LookInside)]
//! struct MyStruct {
//!     field1: u32,
//!     field2: String,
//! }
//! ```
//!
//! Alternatively, this crate also contains the code to take a DeriveInput from the
//! syn crate and return structured representations of your types for use in your code.
//!
//! Here's a simple example of how to print the fields of a struct:
//! ``` Rust
//! let my_struct = MyStruct { field1: 42, field2: "foo".to_string() };
//!
//! // Access fields:
//! let field1 = my_struct.look_inside().fields().field1;
//!
//! // Iterate fields:
//! for field in my_struct.look_inside().fields() {
//!     println!("{}", field.ident);
//! }
//! ```
//!
//! This provides a convenient way to introspect and process structs, unions,
//! and enums generically in macros and procedural macros.
