Based on `serde-value`, `serde-value-flatten` provides a function to flatten any struct which
implement `serde::Serialize`.
## Quickstart
You can start using it by first adding it to your `Cargo.toml`:
```toml
[dependencies]
serde = "1.0"
serde_derive = "1.0"
serde_value_flatten = "0.1"
```
Then, create a structure which implement the `serde::Serialize` trait and use it with any
serde lib.
## Example
```rust
#[derive(Serialize, Clone, Debug)]
struct SubFoo {
a: String,
b: u64,
}
#[derive(Serialize, Clone, Debug)]
struct Foo {
a: String,
b: f64,
c: Vec<i8>,
d: SubFoo,
}
fn main() {
let foo = Foo { a: "test".into(), b: 0.5, c: vec![5, 9], d: SubFoo { a: "subtest".into(), b: 695217 } };
let ser = serde_value_flatten::to_flatten_maptree("_", Some("_"), &foo).unwrap();
println!("{}", serde_json::to_string_pretty(&ser).unwrap());
}
```
**Output**:
```json
{
"_a": "test",
"_b": 0.5,
"_c_0": 5,
"_c_1": 9,
"_d_a": "subtest",
"_d_b": 695217
}
```
## Feature ovh-ldp
The feature `ovh-ldp` allow to suffix fields names to suits to the [LDP naming conventions](https://docs.ovh.com/fr/logs-data-platform/field-naming-conventions/).
In your `Cargo.toml`, set:
```toml
[dependencies]
serde = "1.0"
serde_derive = "1.0"
serde_value_flatten = { version = "0.1", features = ["ovh-ldp"] }
```
Re-run the previous example, and now the output will be :
```json
{
"_a": "test",
"_b_float": 0.5,
"_c_0_long": 5,
"_c_1_long": 9,
"_d_a": "subtest",
"_d_b_double": 695217
}
```
