# nitrate-macro Companion macro for programs using [`nitrate`](https://github.com/nifty-oss/nitrate) entrypoint. It creates structs to provide an easy way to access instruction accounts, while being more efficient than using `solana_program::account_info::next_account_info` iterator. ## Getting started The macro is part of [`nitrate`](https://github.com/nifty-oss/nitrate) crate: ```bash cargo add nitrate ``` > [!IMPORTANT] > You need to use the custom `entrypoint!` defined on the crate in order to use the `Accounts` derive macro. ## Example Annotate your instruction enum with `Accounts` derive: ```rust #[derive(BorshDeserialize, BorshSerialize, Clone, Debug, ShankInstruction, Accounts)] pub struct Instruction { #[account(0, signer, writable, name="buffer", desc = "The unitialized buffer account")] #[account(1, writable, name="recipient", desc = "The account receiving refunded rent")] Close, #[account(0, writable, name="asset", desc = "Asset account")] #[account(1, signer, writable, name="signer", desc = "The owner or burn delegate of the asset")] #[account(2, optional, writable, name="recipient", desc = "The account receiving refunded rent")] #[account(3, optional, writable, name="group", desc = "Asset account of the group")] Burn, } ``` This will create a module `accounts` with a struct for each variant (instruction) of the enum: ```rust use nitrate::program::AccountInfo; mod accounts { pub struct Close<'a> { pub buffer: &'a AccountInfo, pub recipient: &'a AccountInfo, } pub struct Burn<'a> { pub asset: &'a AccountInfo, pub signer: &'a AccountInfo, pub recipient: Option<&'a AccountInfo>, pub group: Option<&'a AccountInfo>, } } ``` In your instruction processor, a `Context` can then be created to access the accounts of an instruction: ```rust let ctx = Burn::context(accounts)?; msg!("Burn asset: {:?}", ctx.accounts.asset.key()); ``` ## License Copyright (c) 2024 nifty-oss maintainers Licensed under the Apache License, Version 2.0 (the "License"); you may not use this file except in compliance with the License.
