Description

The idea is to add some configuration options to the struct attributes.

This might look like this:

#[derive(InterStruct)]
#[merge("crate::Target", strict)]
pub struct Source {
    pub normal: String,
    pub optional: Option<String>,
}

For now these are the planned configuration flags:

  • strict Enforces that all fields (unless ignored) are mapped to the target struct.
    A compiler error will be thrown if any fields cannot be found on the target struct.

First steps

  1. Read the whole issue, then the project's contributing guide.
  2. Comment on the issue to say you are picking it up — it saves two people doing the same work.
  3. Fork the repository and make your change on a branch.
  4. Open a pull request that references the issue number.

Research direction

Start with the #[derive(InterStruct)] and #[merge("crate::Target", strict)] attribute entry points, then trace how struct fields are mapped to the target. Define how the strict flag should report unmapped fields as compiler errors and add coverage for the shown Source and Target-shaped example.
