TypedStructLegacyReflection

TypedStructLegacyReflection is a TypedStruct plugin defining the reflection functions that used to be built-in before TypedStruct 0.2.0.

Setup

To use this plugin in your project, add this to your Mix dependencies:

{:typed_struct_legacy_reflection, "~> 1.0.0"}

If you do not plan to compile modules using this TypedStruct plugin at runtime, you can add runtime: false to the dependency tuple as it is only used during compilation.

Usage

To use this plugin in a typed struct, simply register it in the typedstruct block:

defmodule StructWithReflection do
  use TypedStruct

  typedstruct do
    plugin TypedStructLegacyReflection

    field :a_field, term()
    field :another_field, String.t()
  end
end

Three functions are then defined in your typed struct, like TypedStruct did in v0.1.x:

__keys__/0 - returns the keys of the struct
__defaults__/0 - returns the default value for each field
__types__/0 - returns the quoted type for each field

For instance:

iex(1)> defmodule Demo do
...(1)>   use TypedStruct
...(1)>
...(1)>   typedstruct do
...(1)>     plugin TypedStructLegacyReflection
...(1)>
...(1)>     field :a_field, String.t()
...(1)>     field :with_default, integer(), default: 7
...(1)>   end
...(1)> end
{:module, Demo,
 <<70, 79, 82, 49, 0, 0, 8, 184, 66, 69, 65, 77, 65, 116, 85, 56, 0, 0, 0, 241,
   0, 0, 0, 24, 11, 69, 108, 105, 120, 105, 114, 46, 68, 101, 109, 111, 8, 95,
   95, 105, 110, 102, 111, 95, 95, 7, 99, ...>>,
 [{TypedStructLegacyReflection, []}]}
iex(2)> Demo.__keys__()
[:a_field, :with_default]
iex(3)> Demo.__defaults__()
[a_field: nil, with_default: 7]
iex(4)> Demo.__types__()
[
  a_field: {:|, [],
   [
     {{:., [line: 7],
       [{:__aliases__, [counter: {Demo, 3}, line: 7], [:String]}, :t]},
      [line: 7], []},
     nil
   ]},
  with_default: {:integer, [line: 8], []}
]
