Catalyser

Catalyser is a comprehensive collection of extensions designed to enhance Rust's standard library and other critical libraries, offering tools to streamline common tasks and improve development efficiency. This library aims to simplify development, improve expressiveness, and increase productivity while maintaining Rust's idiomatic principles.

Project Structure

This project is organized as a workspace with the following two crates:

• catalyser: Contains the main extensions
  • src/<module or module.rs> : Contains the main extensions for a dedicated crate
• catalyser-derive: Contains custom derive macros for additional features
  • src/<module or module.rs> : Contains custom derive macros for a dedicated crate

Acknowledgements

This library draws inspiration from Kotlin's KTX approach, which provides extensions to simplify and extend standard functionality by adding concise and expressive APIs. Similarly, Catalyser aims to enrich Rust development with tools that improve usability and reduce boilerplate, while staying idiomatic to the language.
