Here is an example with a Json dictionary.
import json
{.experimental: "dotOperators".}
type
Action = ref object
properties: JsonNode
template `.`(action: Action, field: untyped): untyped =
action.properties[astToStr(field)]
template `.=`(action: Action, field, value: untyped): untyped =
action.properties[astToStr(field)] = %value
var a = Action(
properties: %*{
"layer": 0,
"add": true,
"vis": false,
"new_name": "fancy_name"
}
)
echo a.new_name # "fancy_name"
a.algo = 10
echo a.algo # 10
Run
You can store and deserialize more complex types as strings with the [marshal
module](https://nim-lang.org/docs/marshal.html) or as JsonNode with the [to
macro in JSON
module](https://nim-lang.org/docs/json.html#to.m%2CJsonNode%2Ctypedesc)
