Module builder 

Convenience helpers for assembling firewall objects in “builder” style.

This module targets interactive or prototyping flows where developers want to express object definitions with as little boilerplate as possible. Helper functions turn dotted notation such as address("app1", "192.0.2.10") or service::tcp(443) into strongly typed objects that can be inserted into an ObjectStore.

use firewall_objects::builder::{address, service, service_group};
use firewall_objects::objects::ObjectStore;

let mut store = ObjectStore::new();

for entry in [
    address("server1", "192.168.50.10").unwrap(),
    address("Public DMZ", "10.10.105.0/24").unwrap(),
] {
    store.add(entry).unwrap();
}

let allowed_services = service_group("allowed services")
    .unwrap()
    .with_service(service::tcp(443))
    .unwrap()
    .with_service(service::udp(53))
    .unwrap()
    .build()
    .unwrap();

store.add(allowed_services).unwrap();
assert!(store.network("server1").is_ok());
assert!(store.service_group("allowed services").is_ok());

Modules

service

Convenience namespace for transport builders: service::tcp(443) or service::parse("udp/53").

Structs

ApplicationBuilder

Builder for application objects with minimal ceremony.

NetworkGroupBuilder

Builder helper for adding multiple network objects into the same group.

ServiceGroupBuilder

Builder helper for constructing service groups through chained calls.

Enums

BuilderEntry

Unified wrapper returned by the builders so ObjectStore::add can accept any object or builder directly.

Traits

IntoNetworkObj

Network helper trait implemented for both raw objects and builder entries.

IntoServiceObj

Service helper trait implemented for both raw objects and builder entries.

Functions

address

Helper that builds a NetworkObj from a human-friendly input. The name is optional—pass an empty string to default to the normalized value.

application

Begin composing an application object.

network_group

Start a network group builder with the provided name.

service_group

Start a service group builder with the provided name.
