// After (recommended)
impl_data_entity_validated!(
    Invoice, "invoice", ["number"], { amount: f64 },
    validate: {
        create: {
            amount: [required positive max_value(1_000_000.0)],
        },
    },
    filters: {
        create: {
            amount: [round_decimals(2)],
        },
    }
