#![doc( html_root_url = "https://docs.rs/structdoc/0.1.4/structdoc/", test(attr(deny(warnings))) )] #![forbid(unsafe_code)] #![warn(missing_docs)] //! Extract documentation out of types and make use of it at runtime. //! //! The [`StructDoc`] trait describes types which know their own documentation at runtime. It can //! be derived (see the [`StructDoc`] documentation for deriving details). The [`Documentation`] is //! a type holding the actual documentation. //! //! # Motivation //! //! Sometimes, an application needs some structured input from the user ‒ configuration, input //! files, etc. Therefore, the format needs to be documented somehow. But doing so manually has //! several disadvantages: //! //! * Manual documentation tends to be out of sync. //! * It needs additional manual work. //! * If parts of the structure come from different parts of the application or even different //! libraries, the documentation needs to either be collected from all these places or written //! manually at a different place (making the chance of forgetting to update it even higher). //! //! This crate tries to help with that ‒ it allows extracting doc strings and composing them //! together to form the documentation automatically, using procedural derive. The structure is //! guaranteed to match and the documentation strings are much more likely to be updated, as they //! are close to the actual definitions being changed. //! //! It is able to use both its own and [`serde`]'s attributes, because [`serde`] is very commonly //! used to read the structured data. //! //! # Examples //! //! ```rust //! # #![allow(dead_code)] //! use std::num::NonZeroU32; //! //! use serde_derive::Deserialize; //! use structdoc::StructDoc; //! //! #[derive(Deserialize, StructDoc)] //! struct Point { //! /// The horizontal position. //! x: i32, //! //! /// The vertical position. //! y: i32, //! } //! //! #[derive(Deserialize, StructDoc)] //! struct Circle { //! // Will flatten both on the serde side and structdoc, effectively creating a structure with //! // 3 fields for both of them. //! #[serde(flatten)] //! center: Point, //! //! /// The diameter of the circle. //! diameter: NonZeroU32, //! } //! //! println!("{}", Circle::document()); //! ``` //! //! # TODO //! //! This crate is young and has some missing things: //! //! * Probably some corner-cases are not handled properly. Also, not everything that can derive //! [`Deserialize`] can derive [`StructDoc`] yet. //! * Some ability to manually traverse the documentation. //! * Allow tweaking how the documentation is printed. //! * Proper tests. //! * Error handling during derive ‒ the error messages would need some improvements and some //! things are simply ignored. Furthermore, if you specify some nonsensical combination of //! attributes, you're as likely to get some garbage documentation out instead of error. //! * There are plans to provide implementations for types from other crates, under feature flags. //! //! In other words, let this crate generate the documentation, but skim the result before shipping //! to make sure it is correct and makes sense. Pull requests to fix bugs are indeed welcome. //! //!
