# Automation of Destructure Pattern
[crate.io](https://crates.io/crates/destructure)
[docs.rs](https://docs.rs/destructure/0.4.3/destructure/)

`destructure` is an automation library for `destructure pattern`.

### What is `destructure pattern`?
A structure with too many fields makes it hard to call constructors, but it is also hard work to prepare a `Getter/Setter` for each one. There are macros for this purpose, but even so, a large number of macros reduces readability. This is especially true when using `From` Trait.

So how can this be simplified? It is the technique of "converting all fields to public".

This allows for a simplified representation, as in the following example

```rust
pub struct AuthenticateResponse {
id: Uuid,
user_code: String,
verification_uri: String,
expires_in: i32,
message: String,
// ... too many fields...
}

impl AuthenticateResponse {
pub fn into_destruct(self) -> DestructAuthenticateResponse {
DestructAuthenticateResponse {
id: self.id,
user_code: self.user_code,
verification_uri: self.verification_uri,
expires_in: self.expires_in,
message: self.message,
// ...
}
}
}

pub struct DestructAuthenticateResponse {
pub id: Uuid,
pub user_code: String,
pub verification_uri: String,
pub expires_in: i32,
pub message: String,
// ... too many fields (All `public`.)...
}

#[tokio::main]
async fn main() {
let res = reqwest::get("http://example.com")
.send().await.unwrap()
.json::().await.unwrap();

let des = res.into_destruct();

println!("{:?}", des.id);
}
```

There are several problems with this method, the most serious of which is the increase in boilerplate.
Using the multi-cursor feature of the editor, this can be done by copy-pasting, but it is still a hassle.

Therefore, I created a *Procedural Macro* that automatically generates structures and methods:

```rust
use destructure::Destructure;

#[derive(Destructure)]
pub struct AuthenticateResponse {
id: Uuid,
user_code: String,
verification_uri: String,
expires_in: i32,
message: String,
// ... too many fields...
}

#[tokio::main]
async fn main() {
let res = reqwest::get("http://example.com")
.send().await.unwrap()
.json::().await.unwrap();

// Auto generate
let des: DestructAuthenticateResponse = res.into_destruct();

println!("{:?}", des.id);
}
```

You can also perform safe value substitution by using `reconstruct()` or `substitute()`,
which performs the same role as the following usage.
```rust
use destructure::{Destructure, Mutation};

#[derive(Destructure, Mutation)]
pub struct AuthenticateResponse {
id: Uuid,
user_code: String,
verification_uri: String,
expires_in: i32,
message: String,
// ... too many fields...
}

#[tokio::main]
async fn main() {
let res = reqwest::get("http://example.com")
.send().await.unwrap()
.json::().await.unwrap();

let message = "After".to_string();

// `reconstruct()` consumes self and provides the Destructed structure
// as a variable reference in a closure.
// Literally, it is a method that reconstructs.
let res: AuthenticateResponse = res.reconstruct(|before| {
before.message = message;
});

// substitute is a method that refills variable references of its own field values
// into another structure and provides them in a closure.
//
// This method is suitable for loop processing, etc.,
// because it processes by reference as opposed to reconstruct, which consumes values.
let mut res = res;
res.substitute(|before| {
*before.message = message;
});

println!("{:?}", des.id);
}
```

## Problem
It is still lacking in functionality, but we will accept PullRequests and Issues if there are any problems.
