Features
There are five important parts that make up how strcs works:
Note
It’s a good idea to read about cattrs before reading about strcs, https://cattrs.readthedocs.io/en/latest/readme.html
The Register
This object is where we centralise all the logic for turning one format of information into another. Usually from a dictionary into an attrs class.
See The Register
The Meta
The Meta object stores values that may then be retrieved by deeply nested objects. It has dictionary like set methods and special methods for retrieving data based off type and name.
See Meta
Creators
These are functions that take in one value and perform some action or transformation before returning an instruction for how to make the desired object.
See Creators
Annotations
It’s possible to annotation the type on fields on a class to inject meta information and/or replace the creator used for that field.
See Annotations
Disassembled
The strcs codebase has the ability to introspect and sort python type annotations so
that it can understand what is thrown at it. This functionality can also be used
without the rest of strcs functionality.
