sea-bae

sea-bae is a crate for proc macro authors, which simplifies parsing of attributes. It is heavily inspired by darling but has a significantly simpler API.

See the docs for more info.

This fork upgrades syn to 2.0 and heck to 0.4, mainly for use in sea-orm.

sea-bae is a crate for proc macro authors, which simplifies parsing of attributes. It is heavily inspired by darling but has a significantly simpler API.

use sea_bae::FromAttributes;

#[derive(

    // This will add two functions:
    // ```
    // fn from_attributes(attrs: &[syn::Attribute]) -> Result<MyAttr, syn::Error>
    // fn try_from_attributes(attrs: &[syn::Attribute]) -> Result<Option<MyAttr>, syn::Error>
    // ```
    //
    // `try_from_attributes` returns `Ok(None)` if the attribute is missing, `Ok(Some(_))` if
    // its there and is valid, `Err(_)` otherwise.
    FromAttributes,
)]
pub struct MyAttr {
    // Anything that implements `syn::parse::Parse` is supported.
    mandatory_type: syn::Type,
    mandatory_ident: syn::Ident,

    // Fields wrapped in `Option` are optional and default to `None` if
    // not specified in the attribute.
    optional_missing: Option<syn::Type>,
    optional_given: Option<syn::Type>,

    // A "switch" is something that doesn't take arguments.
    // All fields with type `Option<()>` are considered swiches.
    // They default to `None`.
    switch: Option<()>,
}

// `MyAttr` is now equipped to parse attributes named `my_attr`. For example:
//
//     #[my_attr(
//         switch,
//         mandatory_ident = foo,
//         mandatory_type = SomeType,
//         optional_given = OtherType,
//     )]
//     struct Foo {
//         ...
//     }

// the input and output type would normally be `proc_macro::TokenStream` but those
// types cannot be used outside the compiler itself.
fn my_proc_macro(input: proc_macro2::TokenStream) -> proc_macro2::TokenStream {
