defmodule Selecto.Output.Transformers.Structs do
@moduledoc """
Transforms query results into structured data using Elixir structs.
This transformer creates struct instances from database rows, providing:
- Dynamic struct module support or predefined structs
- Field name transformations (snake_case, camelCase, PascalCase)
- Type coercion from database types to Elixir types
- Validation of required fields and field mapping
- Memory-efficient processing for large datasets
## Options
* `:struct_module` - Module to create structs from (required)
* `:field_mapping` - Map of database field names to struct field names
* `:transform_keys` - Key transformation strategy (:snake_case, :camel_case, :pascal_case)
* `:coerce_types` - Whether to coerce database types to Elixir types (default: true)
* `:type_strategy` - Type coercion strategy (:strict, :lenient, :preserve)
* `:validate_fields` - Whether to validate all struct fields are present
* `:default_values` - Map of default values for missing fields
* `:enforce_keys` - Whether to enforce required struct keys
## Examples
# Basic struct transformation
transform(rows, columns, aliases, User, [])
# With field mapping and validation
transform(rows, columns, aliases, User, [
field_mapping: %{"user_id" => :id, "full_name" => :name},
validate_fields: true,
enforce_keys: true
])
# Dynamic struct creation
transform(rows, columns, aliases, nil, [
struct_module: DynamicRecord,
transform_keys: :camel_case,
coerce_types: true
])
