Advanced Export

In this tutorial, we covered the basic exporting features of Ad Astra that should address most practical use cases. However, the export system supports a broader set of features.

To briefly mention a few:

• The export macro supports polymorphic types with type generics, handled through type monomorphization.
• The export macro also supports traits and trait implementations. While the export system does not export traits themselves, it can export implemented members of traits on specified types.
• Exporting custom Rust types (e.g., enums) through type aliases.
• Implementing type casting through the Downcast and Upcast interfaces.
• More script operators, such as implementing the a = b assignment operator on a type or a custom field access resolver.
• Exporting functions with dynamic parameters and/or result types.
