lib.rs

1//! This crate creates stub files in following three steps using [inventory] crate:
2//!
3//! Define type information in Rust code (or by proc-macro)
4//! ---------------------------------------------------------
5//! The first step is to define Python type information in Rust code. [type_info] module provides several structs, for example:
6//!
7//! - [type_info::PyFunctionInfo] stores information of Python function, i.e. the name of the function, arguments and its types, return type, etc.
8//! - [type_info::PyClassInfo] stores information for Python class definition, i.e. the name of the class, members and its types, methods, etc.
9//!
10//! For better understanding of what happens in the background, let's define these information manually:
11//!
12//! ```
13//! use pyo3::*;
14//! use pyo3_stub_gen::type_info::*;
15//!
16//! // Usual PyO3 class definition
17//! #[pyclass(module = "my_module", name = "MyClass")]
18//! struct MyClass {
19//!     #[pyo3(get)]
20//!     name: String,
21//!     #[pyo3(get)]
22//!     description: Option<String>,
23//! }
24//!
25//! // Submit type information for stub file generation to inventory
26//! inventory::submit!{
27//!     // Send information about Python class
28//!     PyClassInfo {
29//!         // Type ID of Rust struct (used to gathering phase discussed later)
30//!         struct_id: std::any::TypeId::of::<MyClass>,
31//!
32//!         // Python module name. Since stub file is generated per modules,
33//!         // this helps where the class definition should be placed.
34//!         module: Some("my_module"),
35//!
36//!         // Python class name
37//!         pyclass_name: "MyClass",
38//!
39//!         getters: &[
40//!             MemberInfo {
41//!                 name: "name",
42//!                 r#type: <String as ::pyo3_stub_gen::PyStubType>::type_output,
43//!                 doc: "Name docstring",
44//!                 default: None,
45//!                 deprecated: None,
46//!             },
47//!             MemberInfo {
48//!                 name: "description",
49//!                 r#type: <Option<String> as ::pyo3_stub_gen::PyStubType>::type_output,
50//!                 doc: "Description docstring",
51//!                 default: None,
52//!                 deprecated: None,
53//!             },
54//!         ],
55//!
56//!         setters: &[],
57//!
58//!         doc: "Docstring used in Python",
59//!
60//!         // Base classes
61//!         bases: &[],
62//!
63//!         // Decorated with `#[pyclass(eq, ord)]`
64//!         has_eq: false,
65//!         has_ord: false,
66//!         // Decorated with `#[pyclass(hash, str)]`
67//!         has_hash: false,
68//!         has_str: false,
69//!         // Decorated with `#[pyclass(subclass)]`
70//!         subclass: false,
71//!     }
72//! }
73//! ```
74//!
75//! Roughly speaking, the above corresponds a following stub file `my_module.pyi`:
76//!
77//! ```python
78//! class MyClass:
79//!     """
80//!     Docstring used in Python
81//!     """
82//!     name: str
83//!     """Name docstring"""
84//!     description: Optional[str]
85//!     """Description docstring"""
86//! ```
87//!
88//! We want to generate this [type_info::PyClassInfo] section automatically from `MyClass` Rust struct definition.
89//! This is done by using `#[gen_stub_pyclass]` proc-macro:
90//!
91//! ```
92//! use pyo3::*;
93//! use pyo3_stub_gen::{type_info::*, derive::gen_stub_pyclass};
94//!
95//! // Usual PyO3 class definition
96//! #[gen_stub_pyclass]
97//! #[pyclass(module = "my_module", name = "MyClass")]
98//! struct MyClass {
99//!     #[pyo3(get)]
100//!     name: String,
101//!     #[pyo3(get)]
102//!     description: Option<String>,
103//! }
104//! ```
105//!
106//! Since proc-macro is a converter from Rust code to Rust code, the output must be a Rust code.
107//! However, we need to gather these [type_info::PyClassInfo] definitions to generate stub files,
108//! and the above [inventory::submit] is for it.
109//!
110//! Gather type information into [StubInfo]
111//! ----------------------------------------
112//! [inventory] crate provides a mechanism to gather [inventory::submit]ted information when the library is loaded.
113//! To access these information through [inventory::iter], we need to define a gather function in the crate.
114//! Typically, this is done by following:
115//!
116//! ```rust
117//! use pyo3_stub_gen::{StubInfo, Result};
118//!
119//! pub fn stub_info() -> Result<StubInfo> {
120//!     let manifest_dir: &::std::path::Path = env!("CARGO_MANIFEST_DIR").as_ref();
121//!     StubInfo::from_pyproject_toml(manifest_dir.join("pyproject.toml"))
122//! }
123//! ```
124//!
125//! There is a helper macro to define it easily:
126//!
127//! ```rust
128//! pyo3_stub_gen::define_stub_info_gatherer!(sub_info);
129//! ```
130//!
131//! Generate stub file from [StubInfo]
132//! -----------------------------------
133//! [StubInfo] translates [type_info::PyClassInfo] and other information into a form helpful for generating stub files while gathering.
134//!
135//! [generate] module provides structs implementing [std::fmt::Display] to generate corresponding parts of stub file.
136//! For example, [generate::MethodDef] generates Python class method definition as follows:
137//!
138//! ```rust
139//! use pyo3_stub_gen::{TypeInfo, generate::*, type_info::ParameterKind};
140//!
141//! let method = MethodDef {
142//!     name: "foo",
143//!     parameters: Parameters {
144//!         positional_or_keyword: vec![Parameter {
145//!             name: "x",
146//!             kind: ParameterKind::PositionalOrKeyword,
147//!             type_info: TypeInfo::builtin("int"),
148//!             default: ParameterDefault::None,
149//!         }],
150//!         ..Parameters::new()
151//!     },
152//!     r#return: TypeInfo::builtin("int"),
153//!     doc: "This is a foo method.",
154//!     r#type: MethodType::Instance,
155//!     deprecated: None,
156//!     is_async: false,
157//!     type_ignored: None,
158//!     is_overload: false,
159//! };
160//!
161//! assert_eq!(
162//!     method.to_string().trim(),
163//!     r#"
164//!     def foo(self, x: builtins.int) -> builtins.int:
165//!         r"""
166//!         This is a foo method.
167//!         """
168//!     "#.trim()
169//! );
170//! ```
171//!
172//! [generate::ClassDef] generates Python class definition using [generate::MethodDef] and others, and other `*Def` structs works as well.
173//!
174//! [generate::Module] consists of `*Def` structs and yields an entire stub file `*.pyi` for a single Python (sub-)module, i.e. a shared library build by PyO3.
175//! [generate::Module]s are created as a part of [StubInfo], which merges [type_info::PyClassInfo]s and others submitted to [inventory] separately.
176//! [StubInfo] is instantiated with [pyproject::PyProject] to get where to generate the stub file,
177//! and [StubInfo::generate] generates the stub files for every modules.
