Macro to 'attach' values statically to a type using static getter and setter methods.
```toml
[dependencies]
type_cell = "0.2"
```
```rust
use type_cell::*;
// Simple Preview 
type_cell!{once! u32: a_number;} 
u32::set_a_number(6);
assert_eq!(&6u32,u32::get_a_number());
```
There are different settings available: <br>
🌟 `once!` Set it once. Get it read-only! (combine with Mutex/RwLock/... for mutability)<br>
🦥 `lazy!` Lazily access a value, set within the macro!<br>
🏁 `risky!` Set it once. Get it mutable, but risk race conditions! (be sure you win the race!)<br>
👹 `unsafe!` Same as risky!, but setters and getters are unsafe! 

## 🧱 Basic Usage

- Use the macro: `type_cell!{...}`
- Which type should the value be 'attached' on? `u32 {...}`
- Which type does the value have? `static u32:`
    - Which settings will it use? `once!`, `lazy!`, `risky` or `unsafe!`
    - examples: `static u32: once!` or `static String: lazy!`
- What's the name of the default setter method? `set_type(..)`
- What's the name of the default getter method? `get_type()`

```rust
// Basic Usage 
type_cell!{ bool {
    static Vec<bool>: once!
    set set_vec(..);
    get vec();
}}
// Set it somewhere once:
bool::set_vec(Vec::from([true,false,true]));
// Get it anywhere afterwards:
assert_eq!(&[true,false,true],bool::vec().as_slice());
```
The default setter parameter is a dynamic `Into<..>` and will use `.into()`.<br>
This means in this example you could also set it like this:
```rust
bool::set_vec([true,false,true]);
assert_eq!(&[true,false,true],bool::vec().as_slice());
```
## ⚗ Advanced Usage

Multiple Setter and Getter with different parameters and return types can be defined! <br>
There are two ways of doing it:
- **Methods:** 
    - Use inline methods for simple conversions!
    - `set set_bool(Option<usize>): do.is_some();`
    - `get get_bool() -> bool: static.clone();`
- **Function:** 
    - Use a function with correct parameters/return types and is accessible in the same file!
    - Use `=` before the function meta!
    - `set =set_base_fn(a:Option<usize>);` 
    - `get =get_base_fn(..) -> bool;`
```rust
// Advanced Usage 
fn set_by_function (a:Option<usize>) -> bool {a.is_some()}
fn get_by_function (a:&bool) -> bool {a.clone()}
type_cell!{ bool {
    static bool: once!
    set set_raw(..);
    set set_by_methods(Option<usize>): do.is_some();
    set =set_by_function(a:Option<usize>);
    get get_raw();
    get get_by_methods() -> bool: static.clone();
    get =get_by_function(..) -> bool;
}}
bool::set_by_methods(None);
assert_eq!(false,bool::get_by_methods());
```
Methods with parameters are supported in two different ways:
- **Constants:**
    - Using `=` before a constant value!
    - `set set_number(u32): do.clamp(=0,=100);`
    - `get get_number() -> bool: static.clamp(=0,=100);`
- **Pass Through:**
    - Naming the values with its types will pass it into the function!
    - `set set_number(u32): do.clamp(min:u32,max:u32);`
    - `get get_number() -> bool: static.clamp(min:u32,max:u32);`
```rust
// Advanced Usage 
type_cell!{ u32 {
    static u32: once!
    set set_raw(..);
    set set_by_methods(u32): do.clamp(=0,=100);
    set set_pass(u32): do.clamp(min:u32,max:u32);
    get get_raw();
    get get_by_methods() -> u32: static.add(=5);
    get get_pass() -> u32: static.add(val:u32);
}}
// Sets value to 1000.clamp(0,123) = 123
u32::set_pass(1000,0,123); 
// Gets 123.add(5) = 128
assert_eq!(128,u32::get_by_methods());
```
## 👹 As Risky/Unsafe Mutable
`Only use this if you're sure there are no race conditions (or they don't matter) or for debug purposes!`<br>
To make the static value mutable, use `risky!` or `unsafe!`.
```rust
// Risky Mutable
type_cell!{ u32 {
    static u32: risky!
    set set_number(..);
    get number();
}}
// Set it somewhere once:
u32::set_number(5u32);
// Default getter is mutable already
*u32::number() = 10;
// Gets 10!
assert_eq!(10,*u32::number());
```

## 🦥 As Lazy Static

To create a lazy static value, use the `lazy!` option and use a block instead of the setter function!
```rust
// Lazy Static
type_cell!{ u32 {
    static HashMap<u32,String>: lazy!
    set {
        let mut map = HashMap::new();
        for i in 0..100 {
            map.insert(i,i.to_string());
        }
        map
    }
    get get_lazy_map();
    get get_lazy(..) -> Option<&String>: static.get(id:&u32);
}}
// Gets Some("3":&String)
assert_eq!(&"3",&u32::get_lazy(&3).unwrap());
```
## 🗺 Simple Mapping

If you only need the default getter and setters, there is a shortcut included for `once!`, `risky!` and `unsafe!`:
```rust
// Simple Usage
type_cell!{
    // store a vec of bools on the bool type
    // which has to be set once somewhere 
    // and is read only afterwards
    once! bool > Vec<bool>: bools, more_bools;
    // store a u8 on the u8 type
    // which has to be set once somewhere 
    // which can be read mutable, risking race conditions!
    risky! u8 > u8: id, seed;
    // store a u8 of u8s on the u8 type
    // which has to be set once somewhere 
    // which can be read mutable, risking race conditions!
    // but has to be used inside a unsafe block
    unsafe! String > &'static str: app_name;
}
bool::set_bools([true,false]);
bool::set_more_bools([true,false]);
u8::set_id(100);
u8::set_seed(100);
unsafe{String::set_app_name("Name")};
```
If you only attach values of the same type as their parent:
```rust
// Simplest Usage
type_cell!{
    once! bool: is_nice;
    risky! u16: id, seed;
    unsafe! String: app_slug;
}
```
