GuardedStruct

The creation of this macro will allow you to build Structs that provide you with a number of important options, including the following:

1. Validation
2. Sanitizing
3. Constructor
4. It provides the capacity to operate in a nested style simultaneously.

Example:

defmodule ConditionalFieldComplexTest do
  use GuardedStruct
  alias ConditionalFieldValidatorTestValidators, as: VAL

  guardedstruct do
    field(:provider, String.t())

    sub_field(:profile, struct()) do
      field(:name, String.t(), enforce: true)
      field(:family, String.t(), enforce: true)

      conditional_field(:address, any()) do
        field(:address, String.t(), hint: "address1", validator: {VAL, :is_string_data})

        sub_field(:address, struct(), hint: "address2", validator: {VAL, :is_map_data}) do
          field(:location, String.t(), enforce: true)
          field(:text_location, String.t(), enforce: true)
        end

        sub_field(:address, struct(), hint: "address3", validator: {VAL, :is_map_data}) do
          field(:location, String.t(), enforce: true, derive: "validate(string, location)")
          field(:text_location, String.t(), enforce: true)
          field(:email, String.t(), enforce: true)
        end
      end
    end

    conditional_field(:product, any()) do
      field(:product, String.t(), hint: "product1", validator: {VAL, :is_string_data})

      sub_field(:product, struct(), hint: "product2", validator: {VAL, :is_map_data}) do
        field(:name, String.t(), enforce: true)
        field(:price, integer(), enforce: true)

        sub_field(:information, struct()) do
          field(:creator, String.t(), enforce: true)
          field(:company, String.t(), enforce: true)

          conditional_field(:inventory, integer() | struct(), enforce: true) do
            field(:inventory, integer(),
              hint: "inventory1",
              validator: {VAL, :is_int_data},
              derive: "validate(integer, max_len=33)"
            )

            sub_field(:inventory, struct(), hint: "inventory2", validator: {VAL, :is_map_data}) do
              field(:count, integer(), enforce: true)
              field(:expiration, integer(), enforce: true)
            end
          end
        end
      end
    end
  end
end

Suppose you are going to collect a number of pieces of information from the user, and before doing anything else, you are going to sanitize them. After that, you are going to validate each piece of data, and if there are no issues, you will either display it in a proper output or save it somewhere else. All of the characteristics that are associated with this macro revolve around cleaning and validating the data.

The features that we list below are individually based on a particular strategy and requirement, but thankfully, they may be combined and mixed in any way that you see fit.

It bestows to you a significant amount of authority in this sphere. After the initial version of this macro was obtained from the source of the typed_struct library, many sections of it were rewritten, or new concepts were taken from libraries in Rust and Scala and added to this library in the form of Elixir base.

The initial version of this macro can be found in the typed_struct library. Its base is a syntax that is very easy to comprehend, especially for non-technical product managers, and highly straightforward.

Before explaining the copyright, I must point out that the primary library, which is typed_struct, is no longer supported for a long time, so please pay attention to the following copyright.
