iterator fields[T: tuple | object](x: T): RootObj {...}{.magic: "Fields", noSideEffect.}

Iterates over every field of x.

Warning: This really transforms the 'for' and unrolls the loop. The current implementation also has a bug that affects symbol binding in the loop body.

Example:

var t = (1, "foo")
for v in fields(t): v = default(type(v))
doAssert t == (0, "")

Source Edit

iterator fields[S: tuple | object; T: tuple | object](x: S; y: T): tuple[ key: string, val: RootObj] {...}{.magic: "Fields", noSideEffect.}

Iterates over every field of x and y.

Warning: This really transforms the 'for' and unrolls the loop. The current implementation also has a bug that affects symbol binding in the loop body.

Example:

var t1 = (1, "foo")
var t2 = default(type(t1))
for v1, v2 in fields(t1, t2): v2 = v1
doAssert t1 == t2

Source Edit

iterator fieldPairs[T: tuple | object](x: T): tuple[key: string, val: RootObj] {...}{. magic: "FieldPairs", noSideEffect.}

Iterates over every field of x returning their name and value.

When you iterate over objects with different field types you have to use the compile time when instead of a runtime if to select the code you want to run for each type. To perform the comparison use the is operator. Another way to do the same without when is to leave the task of picking the appropriate code to a secondary proc which you overload for each field type and pass the value to.

Warning: This really transforms the 'for' and unrolls the loop. The current implementation also has a bug that affects symbol binding in the loop body.

Example:

type
  Custom = object
    foo: string
    bar: bool
proc `$`(x: Custom): string =
  result = "Custom:"
  for name, value in x.fieldPairs:
    when value is bool:
      result.add("\n\t" & name & " is " & $value)
    else:
      result.add("\n\t" & name & " '" & value & "'")

iterator fieldPairs[S: tuple | object; T: tuple | object](x: S; y: T): tuple[ key: string, a, b: RootObj] {...}{.magic: "FieldPairs", noSideEffect.}

Iterates over every field of x and y.

Warning: This really transforms the 'for' and unrolls the loop. The current implementation also has a bug that affects symbol binding in the loop body.

Example:

type Foo = object
  x1: int
  x2: string
var a1 = Foo(x1: 12, x2: "abc")
var a2: Foo
for name, v1, v2 in fieldPairs(a1, a2):
  when name == "x2": v2 = v1
doAssert a2 == Foo(x1: 0, x2: "abc")
