MSON

A library for defining your structs in Markdown. It will be compiled to a module with documentation, a struct and some helper functions like new. Depending on the options you give it it creates a new module or injects it in the current module. Any extra text (like paragraphs) will be present in the documentation but not in the structs. Please see the examples for more details.

This module implements some features of the MSON spec of Apiary. Adding new features is currently not on the roadmap.

Usage is inspired by the excellent protobuf library.

Features

Examples

Creating "sub"-module

defmodule MyProject do
  use MSON, """
  # Data

  + name (string)
  + type (string)

  """
end

%MyProject.Data{name: nil, type: nil}

Injecting in current module

You can define your own functions.

defmodule MyProject.Data do
  use MSON, ["""
  # Data

  + name (string)
  + type (string)

  """, inject: true]
end

%MyProject.Data{name: nil, type: nil}

Installation

Add it to your mix.exs file like either one of this:

defp deps do
  [
    {:mson, "~> 0.1"}
  ]
end

Todo

Write documentation.
