constructor-lite

This crate provides the ConstructorLite derive macro for generating minimal constructors for a struct from its fields.

It is primarily designed for structs where deriving [Default] is not possible because some fields don't implement it.

By default, an associated function new() is generated, which expects every field that is not Option<T> as an argument.

To add an optional field to expected arguments of the constructor function, it can be marked with #[constructor(required)].
To remove a non-optional field that implements Default from the constructor function, it can be marked with #[constructor(default)].
To change the name of the generated function, the struct can be marked with e. g. #[constructor(name = "function_name")].
By default, the generated function has the same visibility as the struct. To override this behaviour, the struct can be marked with e. g. #[constructor(visibility = "pub(super)")].

For more advanced uses you might prefer using derive-new or derive_builder instead.

Example

```rust use constructor_lite::ConstructorLite;

struct Movie { title: String, year: Option, }

asserteq!( Movie::new("Star Wars".toowned()), Movie { title: "Star Wars".to_owned(), year: None }, ) ```
