  # Omni reflector

  Omni reflector - C++ reflection/serialization library, that uses c++ metaprogramming to manage fields of class and structs at compile time. Depends only on c++ standard library, not event boost funsion or hana required. 

  

  *Note serialization api depeneds on [nlohmann/json](https://github.com/nlohmann/json) library*

  

  > omni reflector is not a new javascript framework btw !

  

  Cool looking widgets 

  

  

  

  

  




## Usage example

```c++

#define OMNI_REFLECTOR_ENABLE_SERIALIZER

#include "omni_reflector.h"

using namespace omni::reflector;

using namespace omni::reflector::serialization;

struct MyChildStruct : Reflected {

	float someRandomFloatField;

	const constexpr static auto meta = std::make_tuple(

		field(someRandomFloatField)

	);

};

struct MyStruct : Reflected {

	std::string stringField;

	int poggers;

	MyChildStruct childStruct;

	const constexpr static auto meta = std::make_tuple(

		field(stringField),

		field(poggers),

		field(childStruct)

	);

};

int main() {

	MyStruct someRandomStruct;

	/* Filling struct with some values*/

	nlohmann::json object = JsonSerializer::json_serialize(someRandomStruct);

	const auto representation = object.dump(4);

	std::cout << representation << "\n";

	return 0;

};

```

After serializing ``someRandomStruct``, eventually we get json structure, that will have following layout *(Note fields filled with garbage, since I haven't filled the ``someRandomStruct`` :) )*:

```json

{

    "childStruct": {

        "someRandomFloatField": 4.590373509435236e-41

    },

    "poggers": -981426683,

    "stringField": ""

}

```

## Build

```bash

cmake -B build -G Ninja

make.bat

```

## Testing

```bash

test.bat

```
