`new_xxx` is more flexible, yet having default parameters for object and
shortcut notation for object initialisation, shortening `Obj(some_name:
some_name)` as `Obj(some_name)` would still be useful.
Example:
type
CrawlerRef*[J] = ref object
id: string
version: int
jobs: seq[J]
data_dir: string
job_states: JobStates
saved_at_sec: int64
last_saved: Option[JobStates]
job_i: int # = -1
Run
How the initialisation looks now
proc new_crawler*[J: Job](
id: string,
version: int,
jobs: seq[J],
data_dir: string,
): CrawlerRef[J] =
CrawlerRef[J](
id: id,
version: version,
jobs: jobs,
data_dir: data_dir,
job_states: job_states,
job_i: -1
)
Run
How it could look with defaults and shortcuts
proc new_crawler*[J: Job](
id: string,
version: int,
jobs: seq[J],
data_dir: string,
): CrawlerRef[J] =
CrawlerRef[J](id, version, jobs, data_dir, job_states)
Run
