Module own 

Own namespace of the module

Contains the core public API of the Former crate. This namespace follows the standard wTools namespace pattern, providing organized access to functionality while maintaining clear separation of concerns.

Key Exports

• All items from orphan namespace
• [derive]: Alias to former_meta for convenient access to derive macros

Usage Pattern

This namespace is typically accessed through use former::own::* for explicit imports, or through the main crate exports.

Traits

BTreeMapExt

Provides an extension method for hash maps to facilitate the use of the builder pattern.

BTreeSetExt

Provides an extension method for binary tree sets to facilitate the use of the builder pattern.

BinaryHeapExt

Provides an extension method for binary heaps to facilitate the use of the builder pattern.

Collection

Represents a collection by defining the types of entries and values it handles.

CollectionAdd

Provides functionality to add individual entries to a collection.

CollectionAssign

Defines the capability to replace all entries in a collection with a new set of entries.

CollectionValToEntry

Provides a mechanism for transforming a value back into a collection-specific entry format.

EntityToDefinition

Maps a type of entity to its corresponding former definition.

EntityToDefinitionTypes

Provides a mapping between a type of entity and its associated formation type definitions.

EntityToFormer

Maps a type of entity to its corresponding former (builder) implementation.

EntityToStorage

Maps a type of entity to its storage type. This trait defines what storage structure is used to hold the interim state of an entity during its formation.

EntryToVal

Facilitates the conversion of collection entries to their corresponding value representations.

FormerBegin

A trait for initiating a structured subforming process with contextual and intermediary storage linkage.

FormerDefinition

Expands on FormerDefinitionTypes by incorporating an ending mechanism for the formation process. This trait connects the formation types with a specific endpoint, defining how the formation process concludes, including any necessary transformations or validations.

FormerDefinitionTypes

Defines the fundamental components involved in the formation of an entity. This trait specifies the types of storage, the formed entity, and the context used during the formation process.

FormerMutator

Provides a mechanism for mutating the context and storage just before the forming process is completed.

FormingEnd

Defines a handler for the end of a subforming process, enabling the return of the original context.

HashMapExt

Provides an extension method for hash maps to facilitate the use of the builder pattern.

HashSetExt

Provides an extension method for HashSet to facilitate the use of the builder pattern.

LinkedListExt

Provides an extension method for lists to facilitate the use of the builder pattern.

Storage

Defines the storage interface for entities being constructed using a forming pattern.

StoragePreform

Provides a mechanism to finalize the forming process by converting storage into its final formed state.

ValToEntry

Facilitates the conversion of values back into entries for specific collection types.

VecDequeExt

Provides an extension method for vector deques to facilitate the use of the builder pattern.

VecExt

Provides an extension method for vectors to facilitate the use of the builder pattern.
