Hi all.

I want to develop a plugin system within my program, and I have a trait that functions defined by plugins should implement.

Currently, my code gets all the functions in a HashMap and then calls them by their name. Problem is, I have to create that hashmap myself by inserting every function myself.

I would really appreciate it if there was a way to say, suppose, all pub members of mod functions:: that implement this trait PluginFunction call register(hashmap) function. So as I add more functions as mod in functions it'll be automatically added on compile.

Pseudocode:

Files: src/ ├── attrs.rs ├── functions │   ├── attrs.rs │   ├── export.rs │   └── render.rs ├── functions.rs ├── lib.rs

Basically, in mod functions I want: impl AllFunctions{ pub fn new() -> Self { let mut functions_map = HashMap::new();[[ register_all!(crate::functions::* implementing PluginFunction, &mut functions_map); Self { function_map } } } Right now I'm doing: impl AllFunctions{ pub fn new() -> Self { let mut functions_map = HashMap::new();[[ crate::functions::attrs::PrintAttr{}.register(&mut functions_map); crate::functions::export::ExportCSV{}.register(&mut functions_map); crate::functions::render::RenderText{}.register(&mut functions_map); // More as I add more functions Self { function_map } } }
