defmodule Construct do
@moduledoc """
Construct internally divided into three components:
* `Construct` — defining structures;
* `Construct.Cast` — making structure instances;
* `Construct.Type` — type-coercion and custom type behaviour.
## Construct definition
defmodule StructureName do
use Construct, struct_opts
structure do
include AnotherStructure
field name, type, options
end
end
`struct_opts` is options passed to `c:make/2` and `c:make!/2`, described in `Construct.Cast.make/3`.
When you type `use Construct` — library bootstrapped few functions with `Construct` behaviour:
* `c:make/2` — just an alias to `Construct.Cast.make/3`;
* `c:make!/2` — alias to `c:make/2` but throws `Construct.MakeError` exception if provided params are invalid;
* `c:cast/2` — alias to `c:make/2` too, for follow `Construct.Type` behaviour and use defined structure as type.

Defines field on the structure with given name, type and options.
Checks definition validity at compile time by name, type and options.
For custom types checks for module existence and `c:Construct.Type.cast/1` callback.
If field definition is invalid for some reason — it throws an `Construct.DefinitionError`
exception with detailed reason.
## Options
* `:default` — sets default value for that field:
* The default value is calculated at compilation time, so don't use expressions like
DateTime.utc_now or Ecto.UUID.generate as they would then be the same for all structures;
* Value from params is compared with default value before and after type cast;
* If you pass `field :a, type, default: nil` and `make(%{a: nil})` — type coercion will
not be used, `nil` compares with default value and just appends that value to structure;
* If field doesn't exist in params, it will use default value.
By default this option is unset. Notice that you can't use functions as a default value.
