Macros for generating Rust types from Codas.

export_coda!

This macro parses a coda from a file path relative to the crate's workspace root path, and generating Rust data structures for the coda in-place.

Note: A crate's workspace root is always the top-most directory containing a Cargo.toml.

Here's an example that exports Rust data structures for the greeter_coda.md:

# use codas::codec::*;
# use codas_macros::export_coda;

// The file path should be relative to
// the _root_ of a crate's workspace.
export_coda!("codas-macros/tests/greeter_coda.md");

# fn main() {
// A struct is generated for each data type in the coda.
let request = Request { message: "Hi!".into() };

// An enum is generated with variants for each data type
// in the coda. The enum's name will be the same as the
// coda's name, with `Data` appended.
let data = GreeterData::from(request.clone());
assert_eq!("Hi!", match data.clone() {
    GreeterData::Request(Request { message }) => message,
    GreeterData::Response(..) | 
    GreeterData::Unspecified(..) => unimplemented!(),
});

// The structs and enums have auto-generated coda codecs.
let mut request_bytes = vec![];
request_bytes.write_data(&request).unwrap();
let mut data_bytes = vec![];
data_bytes.write_data(&data).unwrap();
assert_eq!(request_bytes, data_bytes);

// The enum can safely decode bytes containing
// coda-encoded data.
let data = GreeterData::decode_from(&mut data_bytes.as_slice()).unwrap();
assert_eq!("Hi!", match data {
    GreeterData::Request(Request { message }) => message,
    GreeterData::Response(..) | 
    GreeterData::Unspecified(..) => unimplemented!(),
});
# }
