⛏️ fieldwork – field accessor generation

fieldwork is a procedural macro crate designed to automate the generation of field accessor methods for named structs. By leveraging Rust's powerful macro system, fieldwork reduces boilerplate code, enhances code readability, and ensures consistency. Just as importantly, fieldwork intends to be fully customizable and expressive for common access patterns.

Manually writing getters and setters for struct fields is repetitive, and adds to maintenance burden. fieldwork addresses this by providing a procedural macro that automatically generates these methods based on your struct definitions. The intent of this crate, and distinguishing feature, is to be as customizable and expressive as writing your own getters and setters. The crate succeeds if you are able to emit exactly the code that you would have manually written, but far more concisely.

Performance

The compile time cost of using a proc macro crate is always worth considering. All efforts have been made to keep this crate as lightweight as possible and featureful enough to be worth the tradeoff.

Testing

This crate has a full suite of macro-expansion tests in tests/expand. These tests are also used for test coverage.
