Welcome to the C++ Reflection Library! This library provides a powerful and flexible way to add reflection capabilities to your C++ classes. With this library, you can easily introspect classes, their attributes, and methods at runtime. 🚀

• Reflect on class attributes and methods.
• Generate human-readable class information.
• Easily extendable and customizable.
• Minimal overhead and easy integration.

1. Clone the repository:

git clone https://github.com/Dheovani/ReflectionSystem.git

2. Include the header files in your project:

#include "reflection_system.h"

Here's a quick example to get you started:

#include <iostream>
#include "reflection_system.h"

using reflection_system::Reflective;

class Base {};

struct BaseStruct {};

class Derived : public Reflective<Derived>, public Base, public BaseStruct
{
    std::string str = "string";
    static const long long fl = 5;

    void func1() { std::cout << "func1" << std::endl; }
    int func2() { return 0; }

public:
    Derived() = default;

    Derived(const std::string& s, const long long& f) : str(s)
    {}

    static void StaticMethod(void) { std::cout << "In the static method" << std::endl; }

    void SetStr(const std::string& s) { this->str = s; }

    void PrintMethods() const {
        FillMethodList();
        for (auto& method : GetMethods())
            std::cout << method.sign << std::endl;
    }

    PARENT_CLASSES(Reflective<Derived>, Base, BaseStruct)
    ATTRIBUTES(str, fl)
    METHODS(func1, func2, StaticMethod, PrintMethods)
};

int main(int argc, char** argv)
{
    Derived derived;
    std::cout << derived << std::endl;

    return 0;
}

Here are some tasks and improvements planned for the C++ Introspection System:

• 🛠️ Add Support for Parent Classes: Implement introspection for parents, allowing dynamic data gathering.
• 📚 Documentation: Expand the documentation with detailed usage examples and best practices.
• 🧪 Testing: Increase unit test coverage to ensure the robustness and reliability of the system.
• 🌐 Multi-format Serialization Support: Implement support for additional serialization formats, such as JSON.
• 🔒 Access Modifiers: Find a way to verify if methods are either private, protected or public.

Feel free to contribute to any of these tasks or suggest new features and improvements!
